👉 A weapon, in the context of security and defense, refers to any object or device designed for offensive purposes to inflict harm, damage, or destruction on an adversary. These can range from simple tools like knives and spears to advanced technologies such as drones, missiles, and explosives. Weapons are typically categorized based on their intended use, such as close-quarters combat weapons for hand-to-hand engagements or long-range weapons like artillery and missiles. The measures associated with weapons encompass not only their design and functionality but also the protocols and regulations governing their possession, use, and storage to prevent misuse and ensure safety.
