Which is the act of using a deadly weapon to help you steal?
Stealing with violence (gun, knife, fists, other wreapons, or even the threat of violence) is robbery. It doesn't matter if the weapon is deadly or not, it is robbery. It would be armed robbery if you had a firearm.ANOTHER VIEW: It is defined as ARMED ROBBERY. It makes NO difference what the weapon is (gun, knife, stick, table leg, golf club, etc) if you are "armed" with it and use it as a weapon to put the victim in fear of their life or grave bodily injury you have committed ARMED robbery. The answer above is incorrect as to the use of fists or feet as the instrument of the robbery, THAT particular charge would be called "Robbery By Force And Violence."
