Small arms ammunition is often encountered in conflict zones, but is often overlooked despite its importance in the weapon and ammunition identification process. Although firearms are durable goods and can last for decades, ammunition is a consumable and needs to be periodically replenished. As such, ammunition plays a decisive role in the escalation, prolongation and intensification of the armed conflict.

Small-caliber ammunition (less than 20 mm) is used mainly with small arms, but is also used with some light weapons (especially heavy machine guns). This section provides an overview of small caliber ammunition and how to identify it by looking at its physical characteristics, markings and packaging.
