Small Arms by Conflict

Wars of the 21st Century are still heavily driven by the supply - and demand - of small arms.

The individual soldier, with his personal weapon, has been the core component of success and failure on the battlefield since ancient times. Today, he is made deadlier by the automatic weapon, offering the needed man-stopping power at both short and long ranges.
