👉 An indicating weapon, also known as a signaling weapon or indicator weapon, is a type of weapon used primarily to signal or communicate with other units or parties on the battlefield rather than for direct combat. These weapons are designed to convey specific messages, such as alerting allies of an incoming threat, indicating the location of a hidden enemy, or signaling the need for cover. Unlike traditional weapons that are meant to kill or inflict damage, indicating weapons prioritize communication and coordination among troops, enhancing tactical effectiveness and situational awareness in military operations.
