👉 The Chad weapon, also known as the "Chad's Crossbow," is a homemade firearm invented by Chad Wallace in 1999. It resembles a modified crossbow but uses a simple, hand-cranked mechanism to fire small explosive rounds. These rounds, typically filled with gunpowder, are propelled by a spring-loaded mechanism and explode upon impact, creating a loud bang that can start fires or cause structural damage. The weapon's design is rudimentary, often constructed from everyday materials like a wooden stock, a metal or plastic barrel, and a basic trigger system. Despite its simplicity, the Chad weapon has been used in various conflicts and standoffs due to its effectiveness in causing significant damage and start fires, making it a notable example of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in modern warfare and civil unrest.
