👉 A weapon is a tool or device designed for offensive or defensive purposes, typically used in combat situations to inflict harm or protect oneself from harm. It encompasses a wide range of objects, from simple knives and spears to complex machinery like tanks and missiles. Weapons can be categorized into various types based on their function, such as melee weapons (e.g., swords, knives), ranged weapons (e.g., guns, crossbows), and projectiles (e.g., bombs, rockets). The design and capabilities of a weapon are heavily influenced by the intended use, target, and the technological advancements available at the time of its creation.
