👉 A weapon, in its most basic definition, is a tool or object designed for offensive or destructive purposes, typically used in combat or self-defense. For a weapon to be considered functional and legally permissible, it must meet specific conditions such as being made from appropriate materials (like metal or wood for traditional weapons), having a clear and effective design that allows for accurate and controlled use, and adhering to legal regulations regarding its manufacture, possession, and use. Additionally, it should not pose an undue risk of harm to the user or others, and its use must be justified under circumstances like self-defense or law enforcement.
