👉 A "broke weapon" refers to a firearm or other weapon that has been intentionally damaged, misused, or malfunctioned in such a way that it no longer functions as intended. This can occur due to accidents, improper handling, or deliberate sabotage. The term highlights the weapon's compromised state, rendering it unsafe for use and potentially dangerous to anyone who comes into contact with it. Broke weapons often require professional assessment or repair to assess their safety and reliability before they can be legally used again.
