There is no universally accepted definition of a 'small arm' or of a 'light weapon'. The Small Arms Survey largely adopts the proposal put forward by the 1997 UN Panel of Governmental Experts (available on www.un.org) which considers portability a defining characteristic. The Panel’s list includes both civilian and military weapons that fire a projectile with the condition that the unit or system may be carried by an individual, a small number of people, or transported by a pack animal or a light vehicle. The Small Arms and Light Weapons (SALW) industry can be broken down into several segments, Small Arms and Light Weapons. Across the world, the major players cover General Dynamics, Beretta S.p.A., Colt’s Manufacturing, Glock Ges. m.b.H., FN Herstal S.A., Heckler & Koch, Sturm, Ruger & Co., Inc., Anschütz, Česká Zbrojovka (CZUB), IMBEL, etc.
