👉 A handheld weapon is a compact and portable tool designed for self-defense, typically weighing less than 0.5 pounds (0.2 kg). These weapons can include items like pepper spray cans, stun batons, flashlights with built-in blades or throwing mechanisms, and various types of knives. They are engineered for quick deployment and ease of use in emergency situations, often featuring ergonomic designs that allow for swift and effective handling. Handheld weapons are intended to provide a non-lethal means of deterring or neutralizing threats, emphasizing safety and minimal harm.
