Portuguese term or phrase: arma de dotação
This term is used to describe the types of weapons and munitions being used within Brazil. One type is "arma de dotação". I understand it to mean something along the lines of "individual weapon" or "military-issued weapon", but I need the exact technical term here to differentiate it from others.

Agradeço a ajuda desde já!
