👉 A basement weapon, also known as a basement grenade or basement bomb, is a type of improvised explosive device (IED) typically constructed in underground spaces such as basements, cellars, or other confined areas. These weapons are often made from readily available materials like plastic bottles, metal cans, or other containers filled with explosive substances such as ammonium nitrate or TNT. The design allows for a compact and concealed placement, making them difficult to detect and increasing the potential for surprise detonation. The basement weapon's effectiveness lies in its ability to cause significant damage and casualties with relatively low production cost, making it a favored choice for various terrorist activities and criminal operations.
