👉 A recreational weapon, often referred to as a "recreational firearm," is a type of firearm designed primarily for hunting, self-defense, or sport, rather than for law enforcement or military use. These weapons are typically smaller and lighter than their hunting counterparts, making them more accessible and easier to handle for non-professionals. They come in various forms, such as pistols, shotguns, and rifles, each with unique features tailored to specific recreational activities like target shooting, hunting, or competitive shooting. Recreational weapons are regulated differently from their military or law enforcement equivalents, with stricter licensing requirements and usage restrictions in many jurisdictions to ensure safety and responsible use.
