EU: European Commission: Report on the placing on the market of replica firearms (pdf). This report also gives figures on the number of firearms produced each year in the EU with 1,924,997 in 2008. The EU imports firearms to the value 52 million euro and exports firearms to the value of 348 million euro (2008). And, for "non-firearms": "spring, air or gas guns and truncheons are included in the same statistical category [and] the four main producer countries in the EU are Germany (which has a large population of hobby marksmen – around 1.7 million licence-holders), Italy, the United Kingdom and Spain."
