👉 A weapon is a tool or object designed for offensive combat, typically used by individuals or groups in self-defense, hunting, or warfare. Weapons can vary widely in form and function, from simple hand tools like knives and spears to complex machinery like machine guns and tanks. They are characterized by their ability to inflict harm or damage on others, often through physical means such as cutting, piercing, or blunt force. The specific type of weapon depends on its intended use and the context in which it is employed.
