improvised weapon
An improvised weapon is a device that was not designed to be used as a weapon but can be put to that use. They are generally used for self-defence or where the person is otherwise unarmed. In some cases improvised weapons are commonly used by attackers in street fights, muggings, murders or during riots, usually when conventional weapons such as firearms are unavailable or inappropriate.
Improvised weapons are common everyday objects that can be used in a variety of defensive applications. These objects are not physically altered in any way, in an effort to make them more functional as weapons. They are generally utilized in their normal state.〔(DEFENSIVE USE OF IMPROVISSED (sic) WEAPONS )〕
==Examples==

*Natural materials, such as rocks
*Vehicles, including rental trucks, light aircraft, such as a Piper PA-28-236 Dakota〔(Austin American Statesman Coverage of Plane Crash )〕 and airliners, such as the Boeing 767
