👉 A volume weapon is a type of improvised explosive device (IED) that utilizes compressed air or gas to propel a projectile, typically a bomb, over significant distances. This weapon works by drawing in air into a sealed chamber, which then rapidly expands and releases the stored energy, propelling the explosive payload forward. The compressed air can be generated from various sources, such as a bicycle pump or a hand-cranked mechanism. Volume weapons are often favored in guerrilla warfare and urban combat scenarios due to their simplicity, ease of concealment, and ability to strike targets at considerable ranges, making them a versatile and deadly tool for asymmetric warfare.
