👉 A manner weapon is a type of weapon used primarily for signaling or ceremonial purposes rather than for actual combat. Examples include the feather duster, which is used to signal an opponent's retreat or to ward off an attack without engaging in physical confrontation, and the flag, which can be used to indicate surrender or truce. These weapons are often ornate and serve cultural or symbolic roles, reflecting the traditions and values of a community. Unlike blunt or sharp weapons, manner weapons are designed to be used in a non-lethal manner and can include items like the Native American war paint, which, while not a weapon per se, is used in rituals and battles to intimidate or signify status.
