Country Summaries - Chile

The methodology used in this study yields a conservative total Chilean military small arms inventory of 358,000 modern weapons…

Actual Chilean inventories and surpluses are probably much higher. Since small arms for active-duty personnel were replaced roughly every decade, the total number of army automatic rifles could easily total 200,000 or more. With other weapons - such as side arms, machine guns, grenade launchers, and sniper rifles - the total inventory could number more than 300,000 small arms for the army alone.
