👉 An unauthorized weapon refers to any object or device that is not legally permitted for use in warfare, law enforcement, or other official capacities. This could include improvised explosive devices (IEDs), homemade bombs, or any other weapon that has been acquired without proper authorization, training, or legal clearance. Such weapons pose significant risks due to their unpredictable nature and potential for causing harm, often leading to serious legal consequences for those involved in their creation or possession.
