In March this year, the Namibian government indicated that the number of legally held guns in the country had increased significantly, about 210 000 licensed firearms across the country. Since 1977, the country’s Windhoeker MaschinenFabrik (WMF), under the Namibian Defense Force, has manufactured some wheeled light-armoured vehicles for the country’s army and for export.
