👉 The "note weapon" is a term used to describe a type of improvised explosive device (IED) where a note or a piece of paper is used as the primary explosive material. Typically, the note contains a small amount of explosive powder or a chemical agent, which detonates upon impact with a trigger mechanism or when struck by an object. This method is favored for its simplicity, ease of concealment, and the psychological impact on victims, as it can cause significant damage and fear with minimal effort. The use of notes as weapons has been prevalent in various conflicts, including insurgencies and terrorist activities, due to their accessibility and the potential for mass casualties.
