weapon

A Weapon is a device that is used to cause physical harm or damage to another person or object. There are many different types of weapons. Some are objects that specifically designed for the purpose of causing harm, like a gun or a sword, while other weapons are everyday objects that are used in such a way to hurt someone else, such as a baseball bat or a piece of wood. Many powerful weapons, typically large swords or firearms, are illegal in certain countries, and some require permits for them.
