👉 The heater weapon, also known as a firearm or a thermal weapon, is a type of non-lethal weapon that uses intense heat to incapacitate or deter targets. Typically, it consists of a tube or barrel filled with a flammable liquid or gas that is ignited, creating a high-temperature jet of flame capable of burning flesh and tissue. When fired, the weapon's rapid heating can cause severe burns, smoke inhalation, and even flash burns, effectively neutralizing threats without causing permanent harm. These devices are often used in law enforcement for crowd control, hostage situations, and to subdue individuals without resorting to lethal force, though their use remains controversial due to concerns about safety and potential misuse.
