👉 The assessed weapon, often referred to as a "specific firearm" or "assessed handgun," is a type of firearm that has been evaluated and classified based on its design, functionality, and potential for misuse. This weapon typically includes a barrel, a chamber for holding ammunition, and a mechanism to fire the projectile, usually a bullet. The assessment considers factors such as the weapon's capacity (number of rounds it can hold), type of ammunition it uses, and its design features that may make it easier or harder to use illegally. Weapons assessed as such are subject to stricter regulations and background checks in many jurisdictions to prevent unauthorized access and potential misuse.
