The weapon component is a gameplay component that can fire bullets that damage players. If you want a weapon that players can hold, use an Item Component that is set to the Weapon Item Type

Example Usage

Attack players

The weapon component can be used to challenge players to move through an area without being shot. Combining a weapon component with a moving object via a Simple Animator Component or a Mover Component can make the weapon less predictable.

Combined with Logic Component

The Logic Component can be configured to perform Actions whenever it is shot by a weapon component. This would be used to make a minigame where players must somehow make a weapon component shoot a logic component, maybe by moving the gameobject holding the weapon, or by removing object from between the weapon and logic component.
