Its all about piling up as many advantages on your side as you can. After all, we're talking about survival.
so, for the little guy/girl who's never going to have the size advantage, what muscles specifically should be trained to make up for it,
and to best facilitate a weapons-based approach?
If using, I don't think strength is a big deal. How much strength does it take to swing a stick, stab or pull a trigger?
If defending against, then I don't know. I suspect same list as above. BUT I think its probably more important to stress drilling/repetition with an uncooperative partner when worrying about weapons defense. Why? Because the other guy having a weapon reduces your margin for error to about 0.
and for the big guy, how to best go about building strength while staying quick enough to compete when there are weapons involved?
Also, big or small, I think the important thing about defending against a weapon is practice with an uncooperative partner in a forgiving situation NOT weight training.
