👉 A scored weapon is a type of firearm or explosive device where the casing or shell is perforated with a series of holes, known as a score pattern. This design serves multiple purposes: it helps in the efficient ejection of spent casings, reduces the risk of accidental discharge by preventing the casing from being accidentally pulled back into the firearm, and can also serve as a guide for proper loading and firing procedures. The score pattern can vary in design and density, influencing the weapon's performance characteristics such as recoil, accuracy, and safety.
