👉 A postage weapon is a device that uses a small amount of explosive material, typically a fragment of plastic or paper, attached to a postage stamp. When the stamp is torn or punctured, the explosive detonates, causing a small but significant amount of damage. These weapons are often used for intimidation or as a symbolic gesture, and they are illegal in many countries due to their potential for causing harm. The term "postage weapon" refers specifically to devices that utilize the postage stamp as a delivery mechanism for the explosive payload.
