This article provides clear definitions for small arms, light weapons, and conventional weapons. Small arms are defined as firearms that can be fired, maintained, and transported by a single individual. Light weapons are more substantial, requiring a crew for operation and can be transported on light vehicles or pack animals. Conventional weapons encompass all types of weapons that do not fall under chemical, nuclear, or biological categories. Understanding these terms is crucial for discussions around arms regulation and military capabilities.
