A weapon, arm, or armament is a tool or instrument used in order to inflict damage or harm to living beings - physical or mental -, artificial structures, or systems. In human society, weapons are used to increase the efficacy and efficiency of activities such as hunting, crime, law enforcement, and warfare.
Weapons are employed individually or collectively. A weapon can be either expressly designed as such or be an item re-purposed through use (for example, hitting someone with a hammer). Their form can range from simple implements such as clubs to complicated modern implementations such as intercontinental ballistic missiles and biological weapons. Weapon development has progressed from early wood or stone clubs through revolutions in metalworking (swords, maces, etc.) and gunpowder (guns, cannon), electronics and nuclear technology.
In a broader context, weapons may be construed to include anything used to gain a strategic, material or mental advantage over an adversary on land, sea, air, or even outer space or virtual space.

Plot
Award-winning writer/director Ryan Braund delivers an explosive, action-packed feature film debut with 'Safehouse', an independent British sci-fi/action film following four small-time criminals who are cornered into their hideout by the police after stealing a safe full of money. However, instead of arresting them, the police seize this opportunity to test a new, high-tech weapon on them - an unstoppable killing machine. Set within old, decaying warehouses in a remote part of town, these humble thugs are less than prepared for the onslaught of bullets, projectiles and other high-tech tricks this monster can throw at them. Our lead, 'Karl', is determined to fight back against the unknown, despite risking never seeing his daughter again. One by one our 'lab rats' are caught in the cross-hairs as the villainous law enforcement demonstrate what the robot can do. The only things keeping the thieves alive are a police radio interceptor... and an arsenal of weapons.

The Police Have A New Weapon
Serving, testing, armed race begun
Depleted, uranium, flower with power of sun
Complex, militant, woven ingrained us all
Time-bomb, elegant, cast system done
I want a way out to get out fast
Before it becomes too real
They want a war in this futures mess
Instinction I think is for real
I want a way out to get out fast
Before it becomes too real
They want a war in this futures mess
Instinction I think is for real
Living grade, construct
Feeds on reconstruction
Mercenary, contracts
Nothing lay under the sun
Six-gun, neighbors, watch, villages slide
Uni-bombed, contracts, surf the system unfettered
I want a way out to get out fast
Before it becomes too real
They want a war in this futures mess
Instinction I think is for real
I want a way out to get out fast
Before it becomes too real
They want a war in this futures mess
Instinction I think is for real
Jimmie's clearly out of luck, time is gone logic is lost matters haven't
Vanished what is here has been un-done, soaking in the aftermath, hollow
Breathing in the bed, Mezame sheets of rotting things, the best kept
Secrets pillowing, divine host, kill the ghost, target faced with
Shadowed-voice, keeping massive overflow from sweeping in the way…
Fake bomb, contest
Con-structionless, clones
Dipped cone, war-head
Tripled atomic drones
I want a way out to get out fast
Before it becomes too real
They want a war in this futures mess
Instinction I think is for real
I want a way out to get out fast
Before it becomes too real
They want a war in this futures mess
Instinction I think is for real
Here by my side, an angel
Here by my side, the devil
Never turn your back on me
Never turn your back on me, again
Here by my side, it's Heaven
Here by my side, you are destruction
Here by my side, a new colour to paint the world
Never turn your back on it
Never turn your back on it, again
Here by my side, it's Heaven
Careful, be careful
Careful, be careful
This is where the world drops off
Where the world drops off
Careful, be careful
You breathe in and you breathe out
For it ain't so weird
How it makes you a weapon
And you give in
And you give out
For it ain't so weird
How it makes you a weapon
Never turn your back on it
Never turn your back on it again
Careful, be careful
Here by my side, an angel
Here by my side, the devil
Never turn your back on me
Never turn your back on me, again
Here by my side, it's Heaven
Here by my side, you are destruction
Here by my side, a new colour to paint the world
Never turn your back on it
Never turn your back on it, again
Here by my side, it's Heaven
Careful, be careful
Careful, be careful
This is where the world drops off
Where the world drops off
Careful, be careful
You breathe in and you breathe out
For it ain't so weird
How it makes you a weapon
And you give in
And you give out
For it ain't so weird
How it makes you a weapon
Never turn your back on it
Never turn your back on it again
Careful, be careful
Here by my side, it's Heaven
She sit's at home with her hunger spread like a map of the world
Such a radical figure
I cannot reach her at all
There's no sense so intense
And every time that I activate this person shuts me down.
Said I'm alone again
Said I'm alone again
Now I'm alone with my visions
So I'm alone again
Yeah am alone again
The weapons in control
She wants me to die spitting
She wants me to load her favorite gun
She's got it down to a system
And every time it's the same that pushes me to a limit an injection to the brain
Heavy load passed away and every time that I activate this person's drives me insane
Said I'm alone again
Said I'm alone again
Now I'm alone with my visions
So I'm alone again
Yeah am alone again
The weapons in control
She wants me to die spitting
She wants me to die sinning
She wants me to burn like a villain
Inside it's cold
She sends me down
Will I begin to be someone else?
And I say, and I say, and I say
"I beg you now!"
Wanna be someone
don't wanna be alone
for a better sight
Wanna be someone
Don't wanna care at all
Tonight
Down, I'm down I'm down
I am your goat
Now I begin to be someone else
Cause you tortures me
And you're killing me, and you kill me
I beg you now
I try to make things new
But I won't let my life blow you away
Until my dream comes true
I beg you now
Inside it's cold
I beg you now
