👉 A wet weapon refers to a type of firearm that uses a liquid propellant, such as black powder or smokeless powder, instead of compressed gas like traditional solid or liquid propellant-based ammunition. This liquid propellant is typically stored in a separate chamber and ignited by a priming mechanism, resulting in a slower but more controlled burn. Wet weapons are often used in historical reenactments, demonstrations, and certain tactical applications due to their unique characteristics, including lower recoil and slower firing rates compared to their gas-powered counterparts. However, they generally have lower velocities and may not be suitable for all modern firearms or high-speed applications.
