Most Starships carry at least one or two Weapon Systems, for defense against pirates and asteroids if nothing else. Every Weapon System is required to have an Arms Load-Out permit, but as long as a civilian ship isn't bristling with Proton Torpedo Launchers, very few officials care to check such things. Similarly, no matter what documentation you have, a vessel outfitted with Heavy Turbolasers is viewed with suspicion unless it belongs to a well-known ally.

Several common (and some not-so-common) Weapon Systems are detailed below. Note that the damage given for these Weapon Systems is typical, not absolute, and naming conventions are far from universal. It's impossible to detail every Weapon System for every manufacturer throughout every era. These values are representative, and a Gamemaster is free to modify them as they desire.
