A modular weapon system (MWS) is any weapon equipment which has removable core components (or "modules") that can be reconfigured/interchanged to give the weapon different capabilities to adapt to various applications. Modularity can provide several advantages to military organizations, such as the versatility of allowing units to quickly tailor their weapons to best suit the immediate tactical needs, to quickly repair/exchange malfunctioned components, and to reduce overall logistical burdens and costs. However, it also make the legal tracking and technical categorization of a weapon more complicated as it can now be easily converted into a diverse variety of different forms.

  • Un système d'arme modulaire (SAM) est un équipement qui possède des composants de base amovibles (ou "modules") qui peuvent être reconfigurés pour donner à l'arme des capacités différentes afin de s'adapter à diverses applications. La modularité offre plusieurs avantages tactiques, comme la possibilité d'adapter rapidement l'arme aux besoins immédiats, de réparer ou de changer rapidement les composants défectueux. Cependant, cela rend plus compliqué le suivi juridique et la catégorisation technique d'une arme car celle-ci peut désormais être facilement convertie en une variété de formes différentes. (fr)

  • Un système d'arme modulaire (SAM) est un équipement qui possède des composants de base amovibles (ou "modules") qui peuvent être reconfigurés pour donner à l'arme des capacités différentes afin de s'adapter à diverses applications. La modularité offre plusieurs avantages tactiques, comme la possibilité d'adapter rapidement l'arme aux besoins immédiats, de réparer ou de changer rapidement les composants défectueux. Cependant, cela rend plus compliqué le suivi juridique et la catégorisation technique d'une arme car celle-ci peut désormais être facilement convertie en une variété de formes différentes. Par exemple, le Stoner 63 est un système modulaire de calibre 5,56 × 45 mm Otan, arme légère, utilisant une variété de composants modulaires, qui peuvent être configurés comme un fusil, une carabine, une mitrailleuse légère alimentée par le haut par une bande de munitions, , ou une arme montée sur un véhicule. Une arme à feu modulaire peut également être utile aux chasseurs, qui peuvent alors facilement changer de chambre ou de longueur de canon lorsqu'ils chassent différentes espèces. (fr)

However, it also make the legal tracking and technical categorization of a weapon more complicated as it can now be easily converted into a diverse variety of different forms. For example, the Stoner 63 is a 5.56×45mm NATO-caliber modular small arm system using a variety of modular components, which can be configured as a rifle, a carbine, a top-fed light machine gun, a belt-fed squad automatic weapon, or a vehicle mounted weapon. A modular firearm can also be useful for hunters, which then easily can change to a different chambering or barrel length when hunting different species. (en)
