Small arms refers to any weapons which are small enough to be carried by the individual soldier. So we are not only talking about rifles and pistols here. We are talking about every possible weapon that the individual combatant could possibly use.
Lets add light machine guns to this list. along with this we need to add grenade launchers, grenades, submachineguns. pistols, revolvers, shotguns, molotov cocktails, etc.
The thing that makes small arms effective is the soldier who carries them. We use bombs, missiles, and various munitions for effective firepower and all of these are good, but nothing can replace the individual soldier on the battlefield. http://www.militaryringexpress.com
