NISAT database of authorised transfers of small arms and
light weapons
NOTE FOR DATABASE USERS:
Due to routine maintenance of the NISAT database, Eurostat customs data is
currently unavailable. We apologise for any inconvenience.
This is the world's only on-line global database of small arms transfers. It
contains over 250 000 records detailing transfers between some 250 states and
territories over the period 1962-2003. The database is available in two
formats:
Public - available to all users.
Researcher's database - access via a password.
The researcher's database contains more detailed information and may contain
copyright protected data that can only be distributed to a limited set of
scholarly users. If you wish to access the researcher's database please send a
mail with your details to Kendra Dupuy, who
is responsible for the NISAT database project.
