Portuguese term or phrase: armas de salva e acústicas
'As armas de alarme e de sinalização, armas de salva e acústicas, bem como as réplicas passam agora a estar contempladas na Categoria...'

This is as much as I can say. I saw something on Google pointing towards EUR-Lex, but, for some unknown reason, I can't open the site because the 'server is temporarily unavailable'.

Thanks in advance for your help!

In every explanation I read, it was said that these weren't firearms, so I changed it to weapons.
