Industrial Production

The vast majority of firearm types currently in circulation in Mauritania are industrially manufactured rifled-barrel weapons. …

Article 21 of the 1974 law prohibits the industrial and craft production of firearms, and of any items used to make ammunition. There is no industrial production of firearms in Mauritania, but craft weapons (handguns and long firearms used for protection, hunting, and ceremonies) and ammunition are manufactured by local gunsmiths. Local blacksmiths are also able to reassemble weapons that have entered the country in the form of spare parts.
