👉 The CV Weapon, or "Cold War Weapon," is a term used to describe a class of small arms and ammunition systems developed during the Cold War era, primarily by the United States and the Soviet Union. These weapons were designed for rapid deployment and were intended to be simple, reliable, and easy to produce, making them suitable for use by non-professional forces, including militias, irregular warfare units, and even civilian populations. Characterized by their compact size, minimal maintenance requirements, and often using high-velocity cartridges like the 7.62x39mm or 5.56x45mm, the CV Weapon aimed to provide a cost-effective and versatile option for asymmetric warfare scenarios.
