Tech/Engineering - Military / Defense / weapons (ballistic knife)
English term or phrase: AOW
Bonjour,

sauriez-vous comment traduire le terme "AOW" ? Je comprend bien qu'il s'agit d'une classe d'armes, mais je ne sais pas s'il existe un terme en français pour la traduire. Je préfèrerais expliciter plutôt que de garder ce terme en anglais.

"If you launched this knife with a gunpowder charge, you could register it as an AOW. AOW stands for any other weapon. It’s used to class any weapon that is not a rifle, machine gun or a shot gun."

Explanation:
en revanche rien trouvé sur la classification équivalente en français; si elle est spécifique au National Fire Arms act, je laisserais entre guillemets.
