👉 The broken weapon refers to a damaged or malfunctioning firearm that has lost its functionality, often due to accidents, improper handling, or deliberate sabotage. This weapon may have a cracked barrel, misaligned sights, or a malfunctioning trigger, rendering it ineffective in use. The damage could also extend to the safety mechanism, which might not engage properly, posing a significant risk of accidental discharge. In such cases, the weapon is typically considered unsafe and may need to be repaired or replaced to ensure it poses no threat to others.
