👉 The International Standard News Service (ISSN) Weapon, often referred to simply as the ISSN Weapon, is a standardized code used to identify specific types of weapons in international news reporting. Developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), it provides a consistent and unambiguous way to categorize weapons, facilitating accurate reporting and understanding across different media outlets globally. Each weapon is assigned a unique 8-digit code, which includes the country of origin, the type of weapon (e.g., rifle, grenade launcher), and sometimes additional details. This system enhances clarity in journalism, ensuring that readers and viewers can quickly and accurately identify the weapon being discussed, even in complex or fast-paced news environments.
