👉 A polyester weapon is a type of improvised explosive device (IED) constructed from a combination of polyester fibers and explosive materials, often wrapped in a durable, flexible material. These weapons are typically lightweight and can be easily concealed or transported, making them highly versatile for guerrilla warfare or terrorist activities. The polyester fibers provide a robust yet pliable structure that can absorb and distribute the force of an explosion, enhancing the weapon's lethality. When triggered, the explosive component detonates, causing significant damage and potential casualties. The simplicity of its construction allows for rapid assembly and deployment by non-experts, contributing to its widespread use in asymmetric conflicts.
