Poszerałem nieco więcej i w niektórych miejscach http://dictionary.reference.com/search?db=dictionary&q=arms sugerują, że arms dotyczy głównie broni palnej, w takim wypadku wybierałbym pomiędzy weapons a weaponry.

INTERPOL has two major initiatives relating to conventional weapons (firearms and explosives) - www.interpol.int/Public/Weapons/default.asp.

Manufactured (military) explosive weapons are exclusively HE-based. - www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/munitions/explosive...
