In history, weapons were constantly modernized and adapted to operate in the conflicts of the time. The purpose of this bachelor’s thesis is to study the universality of the weapons system of the individual in modern conflicts. I first presented the characteristics of modern conflicts and then studied the weapons systems of the individual, how they have evolved, whether they have been evolving with an emphasis on their universalization, i.e., in the direction of all-round action, and what to expect in the future. These chapters also include a description of modern specimens based on some selected technical and tactical characteristics. I then turn to the description of weapons used in the Slovenian Army. The description is made utilizing the previously mentioned technical and tactical characteristic which allow us a subsequent comparison with other modern weapons and the possibility of operating in the conditions offered by modern conflicts. By studying the literature, I found that the individual weapons systems evolve in the direction of their universalization, that the weapons used in the Slovenian Army follow modern trends fully, and that they are suitable for operation in conditions offered by modern conflicts. In the bachelor’s thesis, I performed a systematic review of the literature, the comparative method, and the final detailed analysis of the ascertainments.
