Small Arms and Light Weapons

Small arms and light weapons are things that people can carry and use to hurt or kill other people. They include things like guns, knives, and hand grenades.

Think of small arms like toys that grown-ups play with. Just like how you have different toy guns and swords to play with, grown-ups also have different types of small arms. But unlike toys, small arms are very dangerous and can hurt people really badly.

People use small arms and light weapons in wars and fights, but they can also be used by criminals or people who want to hurt others. That's why it's important for governments and organizations to try and control who can have access to them.
