👉 A lightweight weapon is a compact, portable firearm or ammunition designed for ease of handling and transport, typically weighing less than 2.5 pounds (1.1 kg). These weapons prioritize maneuverability and concealment, making them ideal for concealed carry, hunting, or situations where quick access to fire is necessary. Examples include handguns like the Glock 17, which balances accuracy and portability, and smaller ammunition like.22 LR rounds. Their design often features streamlined components and ergonomic grips to reduce fatigue during extended use, while maintaining sufficient power and reliability for practical scenarios.
