Marking of Small Arms and Light Weapons
1) Measures taken to properly mark small arms and light weapons held by the Security and Armed forces, for their own use.
The State of Nicaragua maintains the same firearm inventory, because it does not carry out the transfer of weapons.
To comply with Articles 138 of Law 510 that is concerned with the marking and identification of weapons; this has not been fully implemented due to a lack of financial, technological and infrastructural resources.
It is worth mentioning that as a result of the implementation of Articles 120 to 130 of Law 510, which refers to Crime and Punishment in chapter XV, in this period we have seized a total of 1,809 firearms.
