Wouldn't have guessed Brazil in third place behind the US and Russia. I found one study (old) that said Canada exported $350 million in weapons to third world countries.
Some, if not most, of the arms trade to the third world is a bit on the iffy side when it comes to legalities. Watched a doc the other day that said there are 650 million small arms in circulation around the world. If every soldier on earth had one that accounts for only 60 million weapons.

Not all arm exports are actually guns. I admit to a contract I had with Bristol Aerospace some years ago. We did some development on the unmanned target drones that were sold to Saudi Arabia. Does that count as arms export?
