👉 A lighter weapon, often referred to as a pistol or small-caliber rifle, is a compact firearm designed for quick and discreet use. Typically, it features a shorter barrel and lower capacity than full-size firearms, making it ideal for self-defense, hunting, or casual shooting. Lighter weapons usually operate with a single round, though some models can be adapted for double-action or semi-automatic fire. Their portability and ease of concealment make them popular among law enforcement, military personnel, and civilians alike.
