    The legal (not illegal) trade: Small arms, such as revolvers, assault rifles and light machine guns, and ammunition represent a $8.5 billion industry, and three quarters of the world’s small arms lie in the hand of civilians—more than 650 million civilian arms.  The app was produced by Google’s Creative Lab team in collaboration with the Igarape…

    An interesting video on the process: Hornady makes some good ammunition.  Since I shoot for fun, I don’t normally buy expensive ammo, but when I’ve got my hands on some it was evident why it costs more.
