A personal weapon or ordnance weapon is a weapon that is issued to an individual member of a military or paramilitary unit, e.g. to individual soldiers. These weapons in pre-modern contexts tended to be melee weapons (i.e. blade weapons, polearms, bayonet or the officer's sword.) In modern contexts, this includes personal defense weapons and side arm firearms.
