👉 The reproduced weapon, also known as the "reproduced explosive device" (RED), is a type of improvised explosive device (IED) that involves the use of readily available materials to create a weapon capable of causing significant harm. Typically, this involves the assembly of components like plastic bottles filled with explosive material, wire rope or chain, and sometimes metal or other durable materials to form a tube or structure that can be thrown or detonated. The design is often simple, allowing for quick and efficient construction by individuals with minimal technical expertise. This makes it a versatile and dangerous tool, commonly used in asymmetric warfare to inflict casualties or disrupt operations.
