ABSTRACT
A Light weapon registration information system is concerned with the computerization of societal light weapon records in the light weapon registration Department in order to achieve the aims and objectives of the organization. The entrance of computer into the Light weapon registration information system will help create and maintain efficient records. Arms Control, attempts through treaties, proclamations, convention, and tacit agreement to limit the destructiveness of war by controlling the acquisition and use of weapons and military technology. Historically, warfare appears to be an integral part of human affairs. In 3,000 years of recorded history, most historians believe that not a single year has been free of armed conflict. Yet people have always recognized the folly, waste, and inhumanity of warfare and have continually attempted to limit its devastation and the spread of increasingly destructive weapons. The design was implemented to facilitate the Light weapon registration information system for administration. It will be less time wasting and cheap to run. It is expected that if full consent is given to this, it will enhance the Information of Light weapon registration record of the administration.
ORGANIZATION OF WORK
This project work is primarily designed to give an insight to Computerized Light weapon registration information system.
Chapter one talks about introduction to Computerized Light weapon registration information system, study of problem and objectives as well as definition of the scope.
Chapter two comprises the literature review. Chapter three gives the detailed information about the existing (old) system, while chapter four and five deals with the design and implantation of new system.
Chapter six documents the project work, while chapter seven summaries, conclusion and suggestions were made.

CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Light weapon registration information system (LWRIS) refers to both the practice and the study of the activities people perform in order to acquire, organize, maintain, retrieve and use information items such as documents (paper-based and digital), One ideal of LWRIS is that we always have the right information in the right place, in the right form, and of sufficient completeness and quality to meet our current need. Technologies and tools such as personal information managers help us spend less time with time-consuming and error-prone activities of LWRIS (such as looking for information). We then have more time to make creative, intelligent use of the information at hand in order to get things done or, simply, to enjoy the information itself.
Interest in the study of LWRIS has increased in recent years. One goal in the study of LWRIS is to identify ways to introduce new tool support without inadvertently increasing the complexity of an Light weapon information management challenge. The study of LWRIS means understanding better how people manage information across tools and over time.
Light weapon registration information system involves the use of computers to carry out the functions of Light weapon registration. Every activities of Light weapon registration are documented with help of computer system. Light weapon registration information system required people with computer knowledge.
Light weapon registration is a collection of public bodies with authority over a subdivision of a significant area of a country’s territory. It is either the third tier in federal countries or the second and third tiers in unitary countries (regions, counties, municipalities, etc.
The U.S. Army ranks behind many countries in the number of soldiers on active duty. However, its advantages in mobility, equipment, and training make it the most formidable ground force in the world. Compared to other armies, the U.S. Army has superior technology, highlighted by its precision weaponry and advanced communications capabilities. For example, the Army’s M1 Abrams tank, with its computer firing controls, can accurately fire on targets even while moving, enabling it to take on and destroy several enemy tanks at once. The complexity of the weapons means the Army assumes a heavy supply and maintenance burden, but this characteristic is compensated for by the weapons’ battlefield effectiveness.
Laser guidance systems for missiles, aircraft, and satellites have been constructed. Guns can be fitted with laser sights and range finders. The use of laser beams to destroy hostile ballistic missiles has been proposed, as in the Strategic Defense Initiative urged by U.S. president Ronald Reagan and the Ballistic Missile Defense program supported by President George W. Bush. The ability of tunable dye lasers to selectively excite an atom or molecule may open up more efficient ways to separate isotopes for construction of nuclear weapons.
Computer programmers have gone ahead to write a program to assist in the storage of information in an Light weapon registration office in the state.
1.1 STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
Light weapon department works involves the use of ledger, proof sheets, balance books etc which are manual in recording and keeping of their information. One of the biggest difficulties faced by manual method are:
Handling records beset with problems. The record are not kept well and retrieval as `very difficult
Loss of records is always common to manual auditing as there is no computerized way of storing the information contained in these records
Calculation can sometime be wrong. In most cases, this has through oft many accounts and names which resulted to suspense account being opened and could not be closed unless as a charge or credit to profit and less account.
Sequel to these problems, Light weapon department need to be computerized.
