Tech/Engineering - Military / Defense / arme albe
Romanian term or phrase: castete
Habar n-am ce înseamnă nici măcar în română, nu găsesc termenul în DEX, iar pe Google apar foarte puţine indicii, spre deloc (corectează în "casete"). Am găsit doar că este un tip de armă albă, folosită în special de interlopi. Se pare că sunt specificate în legea privind regimul armelor şi muniţiilor, după cum urmează:

Legea privind regimul armelor si al munitiilor (nr. 295/2004, modificata prin legea 25/2007):

2 1. arma alba - acel obiect sau dispozitiv ce poate pune in pericol sanatatea ori integritatea corporala a persoanelor prin lovire, taiere, impungere, cum ar fi: baionete, sabii, spade, florete, pumnale, cutite, sisuri, boxuri, castete, arbalete, arcuri, bate, maciuci si bastoane telescopice.

Cu "şişuri şi boxuri" m-am decurcat, dar m-am blocat în "castete". Am publicat întrebarea cu forma de plural, pentru că nu am găsit nici măcar forma de singular (o fi castet, o fi castetă?) Mulţumesc pentru orice idei (şi explicaţii).
