👉 An offset weapon is a type of firearm where the barrel is shorter than the stock, creating a "offset" or angled position of the barrel relative to the stock. This design allows for a shorter overall length while maintaining a high muzzle velocity, making it more compact and potentially faster to reload. Offset weapons are often favored for their balance of accuracy, portability, and ease of use, as they can be more maneuverable in tight spaces compared to traditional firearms with longer barrels. The offset design also helps to reduce recoil, enhancing the shooter's ability to maintain accuracy during rapid fire.
