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.
