What is the definition of Asked Weapon?

An 'asked weapon' is like asking someone to go out and fight a crime without telling them what they're getting themselves into. It's a fancy way of saying someone is being asked to do something that's as dangerous or risky as going toe-to-toe with a gang of space aliens.

Here's a grittier example sentence: "The bartender, in his quest to ask the bar's 'asked weapon,' accidentally got a glass of bloodshot, space-faring beer."
