New INSIGHT papers on illicit firearms ammunition and other explosive munitions, and privately made firearms (PMFs) in the European Union

As part of Project INSIGHT, the Survey has produced two research papers:

• Illicit firearms ammunition and other explosive munitions in the European Union provides a regional analysis and overview of the types, sources, and end users of these items, and addresses the need for detailed, policy-relevant data on illicit munitions in Europe.

• Privately Made Firearms in the European Union examines the emerging threat that privately made firearms and their illicit proliferation pose within Europe.

These papers can be found at on the new online knowledge portal Gunviolence.eu
