👉 The Nicaragua Weapon, also known as the "M-82" or "C-82," is a small, handheld anti-personnel weapon developed and used by the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) during the 1980s Nicaraguan Civil War. It resembles a modified 9mm pistol with a detachable, explosive casing that can be inserted into the barrel to create a crude but effective fragmentation grenade. When triggered, the casing detonates upon impact, causing significant damage and often killing or injuring multiple people. The weapon's compact size and ease of concealment made it a popular choice among guerrilla fighters, despite its relatively low accuracy and the potential for collateral damage.
