D
- DA: Double Action
The weapon's trigger performs the two actions of cocking and releasing the hammer / striker. DA includes DAO (see below), but also includes designs which allow the hammer or striker to be cocked manually for a lighter trigger pull, and DA / SA designs which by default use the operation of the weapon to cock it and fire single-action, but can fire in double-action mode if the hammer is not cocked.
- DAK: Double Action Kellerman
- DAO: Double Action Only
The weapon's trigger performs the actions of cocking and releasing the hammer / striker. The weapon is only cocked during the action of operating the trigger.
- DMR: Designated Marksman Rifle
- DShK: Degtyaryova-Shpagina Krupnokaliberny
Transl.:Degtyaryov-Shpagin Large-caliber
E
- EAA: European American Armory
- EBR: Enhanced Battle Rifle
- ECOS-N: Enhanced Combat Optical Sight - Navy
- EGLM: Enhanced Grenade Launcher Module
- ELCAN: Ernst Leitz Canada
- EMag: Export Magazine
- EMR: Enhanced Marksman Rifle
- ETC: Electro-Thermal-Chemical, an experimental form of ignition system only likely to be encountered in science fiction smallarms, since all current experimental ETC guns are tank guns or artillery systems. The system uses an electrical charge to turn the primer into plasma, potentially allowing for highly controlled and complete combustion of the propellant and for more stable propellants to be used which would not work with conventional explosive primers.
- Effective Range: While not an abbreviation as such, this can be a source of confusion since it means different things for different weapons.
- Absolute maximum effective range is the range after which the round's energy drops to the point it could no longer be considered lethal. It is often used in press materials making slightly absurd range claims; for example, this is the "effective range" used in claims that the P90 is effective against unarmoured personnel at 400 metres. It should be noted that this range figure does not require that the shooter actually be able to hit their target reliably.
- Maximum effective range on a point target is typically used for smallarms, and is judged as the distance at which the weapon can hit a human torso-sized target 50% of the time. It does not, however, require that the round retains lethal energy at that time, and if it does not then the absolute maximum effective range will be quoted instead.
- Maximum effective range on an area target is the distance at which the weapon lands 50% of shots inside an area of defined radius, and is typically used for machine guns, hence their enormous effective range figures even when compared to a rifle firing the same round. It does not, however, require that the round retains lethal energy at that time, and if it does not then the absolute maximum effective range will be quoted instead.
- Sniper rifle effective range is the distance at which an expert marksman can be expected to achieve a guaranteed strike on a human target.
These are differentiated from the weapon's Absolute maximum range, which is usually only quoted as the range for heavy artillery firing explosive rounds and is the maximum possible range the weapon can fire a round regardless of whether it can hit or destroy a target. As an example of the difference, the effective range of a Beretta M9 (versus a point target) is 50 metres, while the maximum range of a Beretta M9 (aiming it up in the air like a mortar) is 1,800 metres.

- RoF: Rate of Fire. There are typically two "rate of fire" figures for a given weapon:
- Cyclic rate of fire is most commonly quote. The figure is based on how quickly the weapon's action can cycle; it is the absolute upper limit for how quickly the weapon can discharge ammunition, and does not include reloads, barrel changes, possibility of jams, etc.
- Practical rate of fire is seldon quoted, as it involves operator experience and therefore will vary from person to person; if quoted, it is typically the average for a trained operator. It is the rate at which the weapon can be discharged normally, including reloading and barrel changes where applicable, but typically not including jams or malfunctions.
- RPG: Rocket-Propelled Grenade

S
- S&W: Smith & Wesson
- SA80: Small Arms for the 1980s
- SA: Semi-Automatic
Semi-automatic weapons partially automate the process of operating the weapon using energy created by the round being fired; typically, in such a design it will be necessary to release the weapon's trigger to reset the sear and allow the weapon to fire again. Double-action revolvers are not semi-automatic weapons, since all the energy used to advance the cylinder comes from the user pulling the trigger; they are manually operated.
- SA: Single Action
Single action weapons only perform the single action of releasing the striker or hammer when the trigger is pulled; if the weapon is not cocked in some other fashion (the user racking the slide or manually cocking the hammer, or the slide in a semi-auto SA pistol reciprocating and pushing the hammer back) then pulling the trigger will do nothing at all.
