👉 The equal weapon, also known as the "equal arms" or "symmetrical weapon," is a type of firearm that was designed to ensure both hands could hold and operate the weapon with equal proficiency, typically by having the barrel and grip positioned symmetrically around the barrel. This design was particularly popular in the 18th and early 19th centuries, especially for military and law enforcement use, as it allowed operators to maintain balance and control while firing multiple rounds simultaneously or switching between different firearms without losing accuracy or throwing the weapon. The equal weapon's symmetrical design was a significant advancement in firearm technology, enhancing its practicality and reliability in various combat and law enforcement scenarios.
