👉 A mailed weapon, also known as a mailgun or mailgun-style explosive device, is a type of improvised explosive device (IED) that uses a pre-mixed explosive material that is mailed to the intended target. Typically, this involves sending a small package containing a powdered explosive substance, often with a fuse attached that can be triggered remotely or by a timer. The design allows for the explosive to be detonated at a specific time or in a predetermined location, making it a versatile and dangerous tool for those seeking to carry out attacks. The term "mailed" refers to the method of delivery, which relies on shipping services to transport the explosive material to the target site.
