👉 Cashier's missiles, also known as "cashier's knives" or "cashier's blades," are a type of improvised explosive device (IED) that were notably used by ISIS in Iraq and Syria. These devices typically consist of a metal rod or knife attached to a remote control or a trigger mechanism, often disguised as a cash register or other everyday items. When activated, the missile fires a sharp metal tip at high speed, capable of piercing through walls and causing severe injury or death. The design allows for remote detonation, making it a versatile and terrifying weapon that can be deployed from a distance, often from a concealed position. The use of such devices highlights the ingenuity and resourcefulness of terrorist groups in adapting everyday objects to create deadly tools.
