  • Delving into the shadowy realm of the small arms trade, we unravel a web of clandestine dealings and backroom deals that span the entire globe, arming insurgents, equipping terrorists, and bolstering criminal networks, creating some of the world's most volatile regions. As these weapons cross borders, both through legal and illegal means, their paths become increasingly complicated, but the underlying fundamentals beneath the trade remains stubbornly rigid. In this deep dive, we seek to unpack the trends that drive the industry, identify which markets are currently hotbeds of small arms sales, and explore the nuanced dynamics that completely change the procurement patterns of cartels or regional insurgency groups. We unpack a hypothetical scenario of a theoretical insurgency group to demonstrate the unexpected challenges faced by these insurgency groups with a panel of industry experts:
    On the panel this week:
    - Nicholas Marsh (PRIO)
    - Franz J. Marty (Swiss Institute for Global Affairs)
    - Mark Bromley (SIPRI)

    And tanks are easy to get my m4 Sherman was $12000. Getting 75mm shells, or the coaxil machine gun is difficult as hell, very expensive and highly regulated

    The second guest is spot on about the Afghan pull out weapons that were left behind by the US. Everyone tried to make a big deal about the gear failing to realize the DoD wastes more than what was left behind in Afghanistan on a Tuesday morning. The stuff was second rate on its way out and a lot of it was in ANA stores that were alreaady hemoraging into the black market. Which is exactly why the Taliban are using Dubai bought hunting NVGs currently becuase the US didn't leave the good stuff.

    I love your content, would you consider ever doing a highlights reel option for each one? Like cutting up 15 minutes of each podcast to give people with short attention spans the ability to digest more easily?

    Good podcast, however you underestimate how easy it is to mill out certain items via standard equipment.

    A basic entry level ar15 is less than $300 for a New Frontier Armory or $400 to $500 for a Palmetto stat earmory (PSA is really really high quality)

      It’s crazy how just 4-6 years ago if anyone online said “PSA is actually good quality” they’d get jumped on and berated by ARFCOM boomers and gucci-gun owners. They’ve really stepped up their offerings and their QC lately.

    1:01:13 this references vanguardism and your capacity for revolution itself. Revolts happen, revolutions are planned. Never in history have the masses been capable of spontaneous self organization. Your flawlessly organized vanguard possessing iron will impresses a counter signaling, non-ruling elite.
    Idk, there are important things that happen before you "go get the guns".

    Did you accidentally upload the beta version of this? I counted at least three major audio blips. I noticed a couple more minor ones.

    Why are you worried about tracing an arm to it's manufacturer for litigation against that manufacturer?
