Small arms and light weapons refer to small and lightweight weapons that can be operated by an individual. They usually include revolvers, pistols, rifles, submachine guns, light machine guns, heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, portable anti-aircraft guns, portable anti-tank guns, and mortars.
Developments in small arms technology are one of the key trends in the market providing numerous options in small arms. There have been many new developments in the manufacture of small arms and light weapons. For instance, programs such as LSAT, a US military project, aim to significantly reduce the weight of small arms and the ammunition used in them.
According to the report, one of the major drivers of the Small Arms market in the US is the ease of availability of small arms. With the rise in crime and violence, the use of small arms by civilians for self-defense is increasing. In addition, small arms are also economical and have thus become the weapon of choice for civilians and law enforcement agencies.
Further, the report states that one of the main challenges in the market includes arms control measures, which have introduced strict laws on the production, circulation, and use of weapons. Also, the illicit trafficking of small arms is widespread, resulting in illegal sales of small arms in the black market, which, in turn, affects the Organized Small Arms market.
