👉 A peripheral weapon, often referred to as a secondary or auxiliary weapon, is an accessory or tool that is used in conjunction with a primary weapon for various purposes, such as defense, signaling, or enhancing combat effectiveness. These weapons can range from knives, pepper spray cans, and flashbangs to more specialized items like grappling hooks or smoke grenades. They are typically designed to complement and extend the capabilities of the main weapon, providing additional functionality or situational awareness in diverse combat scenarios.
