👉 An inline weapon, often referred to as a "belted" or "inline" weapon, is a type of firearm designed to be carried and used from within a belt loop. Unlike traditional side-mounted or front-mounted firearms, inline weapons are integrated directly into the wearer's belt, allowing for a more compact and concealed carrying option. This design typically features a barrel that runs along the side of the belt, with the firing mechanism positioned close to the user's hip or chest, enabling quick and silent access to the weapon. Inline weapons are popular among law enforcement, military personnel, and enthusiasts for their ease of concealment and efficient use in various tactical situations.
