"The potential role of the dark web in facilitating
trade in firearms, ammunition and explosives has gained increased public
attention following recent terrorist attacks in Europe. However, the
hidden and obscure parts of the web are used also by criminals and other
types of individuals to procure or sell a wide range of weapons and
associated products through cryptomarkets and vendor shops.
To address this gap, and with a view to supporting policy and decision makers, RAND Europe and the University of Manchester designed this research project to explore the worldwide illegal arms trade, with a focus on the role played by the dark web in fuelling and/or facilitating such trade....
The overall aim of the study was to estimate the size and scope of the trade in firearms and related products on cryptomarkets, including the number of dark web markets listing firearms and related products and services for sale, and the range and type of firearms and related products advertised and sold on cryptomarkets."
