Arms can be anything like gun, pistol, spear , knife bomb sniperit could be anything which can kill a person. Weapon is a kind of an arm. It is one of a kind like only a pistol or only a rifle. So in a nutshell different kind of weapons are called Arms when they are kept together.
A weapon is any device used to inflict damage or harm to living beings or property. A gun is not a weapon until it is used to inflict damage or harm to living beings or property. A gun used to rob, kill and destroy is a weapon. A gun used in self-defense is not a weapon. The same applies to a knife. A gun or a knife in and of itself is not a weapon; they must be used to inflict damage or harm to living beings or property before they become a weapon.

Currently the major difference is that military rifles are capable of firing multiple rounds per trigger pull either burst or automatic fire and civilian models are not. An actual military M4 has a slightly shorter barrel than a civilian carbine. Everything else is cosmetic or ergonomic. Both the military and civilan versions shoot the same ammunition, as well as many traditional styled hunting rifles.
