Description
Latin America and the Caribbean is a region with very diverse illegal firearms markets but with an overall trend towards growing demand of weapons by criminal organizations and parastate armed organizations. As such, over the last decade we have seen a considerable shift from acquisition of these firearms via state diversion towards an increasing inflow of firearms coming from foreign markets, mainly the US civilian market, as well as Turkish and Chinese weapons. Yet as demand continues to grow, along with prices for firearms in this market, it was just a matter of time before 3D printed firearms found their niche in Latin America.
