Almost 80% of sales go to the smaller and poorer, especially for problem areas in the developing world. What fuels the global traffic, often is the production of small arms, as manufacturing technology is relatively simple and affordable. Unlike the complex systems weapons such as missiles, “To give an idea of numbers, the development of a new missile air-air stops around U.S. $ 1.5 million U.S. $ 2 million dollars (Coyle, 2003, p. 113).
