👉 A surplus weapon refers to military or civilian firearms, ammunition, and other armaments that are no longer needed by the armed forces due to budget cuts, decommissioning of older units, or changes in defense policies. These weapons often remain in stockpiles or are stored for potential future use, such as training exercises or emergency response scenarios. Surplus weapons can include a wide range of items from small handguns and rifles to large-caliber artillery pieces, and they may require specialized handling, storage, and sometimes demilitarization before they can be safely returned to civilian use or repurposed.
