In the US Military, during the cold war era, it used to mean a serviceman repairing/working with small arms (rifles, machine guns, pistols, etc.); the military version of a civilian gunsmith.

In earlier times, an armorer also worked with personal armor; such as metal helmets or metal breast plates (body armor).
