👉 An as-weapon is a term used to describe a weapon that is being used in a manner that significantly amplifies its destructive potential or lethality, often through unconventional or extreme means. This can involve using improvised materials, employing tactics that maximize damage, or leveraging the weapon's inherent capabilities in a way that surpasses its standard capabilities. For example, using a grenade launcher to fire a large explosive over a wide area or utilizing a improvised explosive device (IED) in a densely populated zone to maximize casualties. Essentially, an as-weapon weapon is one that, when employed, transforms into a far more deadly tool than its original design or intended use would suggest.
