👉 A "fake weapon" refers to an object or device that is intentionally designed to look like a genuine firearm or explosive device but lacks the capability to cause real harm or damage. These can range from decoys and dummy rounds to more sophisticated forgeries that mimic the appearance, sound, and even some physical properties of actual weapons. The primary purpose of fake weapons is often to deceive, mislead, or distract law enforcement, military personnel, or civilians during investigations, operations, or security threats. They are typically created using advanced materials and techniques to ensure they are indistinguishable from real weapons, posing a significant risk of causing panic or misdirecting efforts if encountered by those unaware of their deceptive nature.
