👉 A weapon is a tool or object specifically designed for use in combat, self-defense, or as a means of inflicting harm, typically by piercing, cutting, or otherwise damaging the body. Unlike non-lethal weapons, which aim to incapacitate without causing fatal injury, weapons are intended to cause death or severe physical harm. Examples include firearms, knives, and explosives. The primary distinction lies in their purpose: while non-lethal weapons seek to neutralize threats without killing, weapons are crafted for lethal outcomes.
