A Guide to the Destruction of Small Arms and Light Weapons : The Approach of the South African National Defence Force

In the area of small arms, South Africa has been an active participant in efforts to prevent the illicit trafficking of small arms and light weapons and to better regulate the legal use of SALW. The South African National Defence Force (SANDF) developed its own procedures for planning, implementing and verifying the anticipated weapons destruction program. The information provided in this guide is based on the experience of destroying 260,000 surplus small arms and is designed for planners and practitioners of weapons collection programs.--Publisher description
