Light : The weapon's weight is equal or less than half the medium weapon limit. Light weapons can be used in your off-hand.
Medium : The weapon's weight is equal or less than your Scale Multiplier times your Strength Multiplier times 3kg. For human-sized characters, this works out to be equal to your Strength Multiplier. Medium weapons only require one hand, and it may be a primary or off-hand.
Heavy : The weapon's weight is equal or less than double the medium weapon limit. Heavy weapons require two hands to use effectively.

Note: Some weapons simply require two hands to use properly anyways, like a bow. Those weapons are marked with '2H' (short for Two-Handed) in the Specials column. Double weapons must be used in two hands in order to attack with both ends.
Scale: A non-firearm weapon may be scaled up. This multiplies the weight by 4 and adds +3 to the damage. Weapons can be wielded that are designed for a size category other than your own, but for every step up or down you get a cumulative -1 penalty to attack. All weapons presented on the chart are scale 0 weapons (in that they are designed for scale 0 people, not that they are all as large as a human)
