The founders used privately owned cannons and ships to defend the new United States. And cannons are crew served weapons.
Good call, so crew served is in. Perhaps the limit could be projectile weapons. The founders were limited to roundshot and canister. Exploding shot wasn't in common use at that point. If it does kinetic damage with a projectile it is legal. That covers everything from a bow and arrow through roundshot, even up to the discarding sabot round from the 120mm on the M1A2. No HE, no nukes, no chem, no bio.

. Perhaps the limit could be projectile weapons. Knives, swords, and pikes are arms, as well.

No HEGrenades have been around since the 16th century. Hence the term grenadier. Keep the HE. And biowarfare has been around as long as people have been using a trebuchet to throw corpses over city walls.
Wells have been poisoned during warfare since before written history.
