👉 The ordinance weapon, often referred to as a "dumb bomb," is an explosive device that is designed to detonate when triggered by an external force, such as a hand or a mechanical action, rather than by an internal detonator. Unlike conventional bombs, ordinance weapons are typically smaller and less powerful, often used for crowd control or to create diversions. They can be loaded with various types of explosives, including fragmentation devices that scatter sharp fragments upon detonation, or conventional blasts that create a loud noise and shockwave. This makes them useful for law enforcement and military operations where precision and minimal collateral damage are desired, although their use remains controversial due to potential risks and ethical concerns.
