Small Arms and Light Weapons (SALW)
Small Arms and Light Weapons (SALW) : As referred to in the Report of the Panel of Governmental Experts on Small Arms (A/52/298), SALW are used by all armed forces, including internal security forces, for, inter alia, self-protection or self-defence, close or short range combat, direct or indirect fire, and against tanks or aircraft at relatively short distances. Broadly speaking, Small Arms are those designed for personal use and Light Weapons are those designed for use by several persons serving as a crew. (OCHA)
