"Here, 24/7 Wall St. set out to discover the most popular guns in the world. To do so, we reviewed various sources, such as GunBroker.com, Small Arms Survey, and more to get estimates of global gun sales. Guns were ranked by estimated lifetime sales. The origin of each gun is the historical country of origin or where the weapon was first created. Different models of the same gun released in different years are included in the gun sales estimates."
"Understanding the connection between gun sales, gun use, gun violence, and gun deaths helps to participate in conversations about the topic. This is especially important as gun control has been a pressing discussion in the political realm. Guns are part of the fabric of the United States. In fact, our country actually has more guns than people. The surgeon general's recent advisory brings to light the need for these conversations to continue, and further education will allow for that to happen."
Guns are ranked by estimated lifetime sales using sources such as GunBroker.com and the Small Arms Survey. The origin of each gun is the historical country where the weapon was first created. Different models and variants released across years are included in sales estimates. The compilation spans muskets from the 18th century through modern pistols, rifles, and military weapons. The list links gun popularity to broader concerns about gun use, violence, deaths, and public-policy debates. The United States has more civilian-owned guns than people, and recent public-health advisories emphasize the need for continued education and conversation about firearms.
