Probably this is something I'd know if I knew anything about modern warfare,
but since I don't: what does SAW stand for? Support assault weapon?

Thanks!

Squad Automatic Weapon, AFAIK.

Is there a 'Dictionary of MilSpeak' somewhere on the WWW?

Not that I know of, but there is an acronym finder page out there:

  http://www.acronymfinder.com/

In that, SAW comes out to be:

SAW Signal Aircraft Warning SAW Software Audio Workshop SAW Squad Automatic
Weapon
    SAW             Stand-Off Attack Weapon
SAW Strategic Aerospace Wing SAW Submerged Arc Welding SAW Surface Acoustical
Wave SAW Surveillance & Warning

Among other things...
