Weapons manufacturing is the backbone of each country’s defense system. Having a domestic defense industry provides a country with the capability of defending its territory and interests independently. Production of weapons, even if they are small arms, is an expensive and complex business however. It takes a lot of time, expert knowledge, and money to design the weapon, test it, and finally put it into production. That is why many countries resort to the license-production of firearms. It is far cheaper and more efficient to produce a weapon that another country has developed. it can however come at the price of political and diplomatic strain. It is not uncommon to find that some countries resort to unlicensed weapon production. Weapon blueprints can be obtained through various methods, usually by industrial espionage, and used to make copycat weapons. Some of these weapons have only a couple of so-called “borrowed” features, while others are complete clones of the originals.
