👉 A conducted weapon, also known as a firearm or shotgun, is a type of weapon that uses a projectile to inflict harm. It typically consists of a barrel for guiding the projectile, a chamber for storing and firing the ammunition, and a trigger mechanism that, when pulled, releases the stored gunpowder to propel the projectile. Conducted weapons can vary widely in design, from handguns like pistols and revolvers to larger firearms such as shotguns and rifles, each with specific capabilities suited for different combat or law enforcement scenarios. These weapons are designed to deliver lethal force over a range, making them a critical tool in military, law enforcement, and self-defense contexts.
