👉 The Indonesia Weapon, also known as the "Pukul," is a unique and controversial weapon used by some militias and separatist groups in Indonesia, particularly in Papua. It's a modified version of the traditional Javanese "pukul," a type of throwing spear, but with significant alterations. The Indonesia Weapon is typically longer and heavier, designed for both throwing and hand-to-hand combat. It features a reinforced wooden shaft, often with metal or bamboo tips, and can be armed with various projectiles such as stones, bullets, or even explosives. Its primary purpose is to intimidate and overpower opponents, making it a versatile tool in guerrilla warfare. However, its use is highly contentious due to human rights concerns and international criticism regarding its potential for causing severe harm.
