Cold-war period led to the major developments in the weapons technology due to rising tensions of large-scale conflict between USSR and the U.S. The period witnessed a huge proliferation in all types of weapons ranging from nuclear to light ones. The advancements in technology has also led to the development of portable weapons. The portable weapons are generally small arms and light weapons which are easy to operate, cost-effective, and durable. Since, 13th century small arms have undergone a massive transformation in design and operation. Nations have continued to use their military as an instrument of force to attain their national objective, whether it is local or beyond borders.

Light weapon is a broad term that refers to any weapon that can be carried by two or three people serving as a crew. Light weapons are increasingly being adopted across military and homeland security end-users. Some of the prime factors behind the rise in the demand of light weapons are changing nature of warfare, increasing land disputes across the borders, and rise in defense spending.
