Small people can use most of the same weapons as Medium people. The only weapons with a difference are ones with the Versatile or Two-Handed keywords, because in most cases they indicate a particularly large weapon. The Small keyword just modifies those other keywords, stopping them from hampering halflings.For instance, what 3.5 calls a greatsword would be Two-Handed. A human can use it in 2 hands, but a halfling can't use it at all. A shortbow is Two-Handed and Small, so both humans and halflings can use it.A bastard sword would be Versatile. A human can use it in 1 hand normally or 2 hands for extra damage, while a halfling needs 2 hands and doesn't get the extra damage. But a weapon that were Versatile and Small could be used the same way by humans or halflings, and either one would get the extra damage from two-handing it.Edited to add:And if a longsword is One-Handed (and nothing else), a human and a halfling can both use it just fine. It looks like even the damage is the same, assuming equal ability scores.</blockquote>
