👉 A weapon is any object designed or modified to inflict harm, typically through violence, and used in combat or warfare. This can include ranged weapons like rifles and missiles, close-range weapons such as knives or spears, and even biological or chemical agents in certain contexts. Weapons are categorized based on their technology, materials, and intended use, ranging from simple homemade tools to highly sophisticated military equipment. Their primary purpose is to neutralize threats or achieve strategic objectives, but their use raises significant ethical and legal considerations.
