Grey Market Arms Sales

Grey market arms sales refer to the illegal or unregulated trade of weapons outside official government channels, typically avoiding legal restrictions and oversight. These transactions may involve surplus military equipment, private sales, or international dealings that aren't sanctioned by authorities. While not as overtly illicit as black market sales, grey market arms can contribute to conflict and instability, as they often bypass safety regulations and background checks. This issue poses challenges for governments and organizations striving to control weapon proliferation and ensure security in regions affected by violence.
