👉 An excess weapon, also known as an over-equipped or excessive armament, refers to a situation where a person or entity possesses more weapons or ammunition than is necessary for the task at hand. This can lead to inefficiencies, increased risk of injury due to handling multiple weapons, and potential safety hazards. In military contexts, it might mean a soldier carrying too many firearms, while in civilian scenarios, it could involve someone having an overabundance of personal firearms or ammunition beyond what is practical or required for their activities. The term highlights the importance of balancing preparedness with practicality and safety.
