The top 10 according to the Small Arms Survey 2007: http://www.smallarmssurvey.org/files/sas/publications/year_b_pdf/2007/CH2%20Stockpiles.pdf Country guns per 100 residents United States 90 Yemen 61 Finland 56 Switzerland 46 Iraq 39 Serbia 37.5 France 32 Canada 31.5 Sweden 31.5 Austria 31 This is civilian owned firearms, not military owned firearms, btw civilian owned firearms count for roughly 75% of all firearms. That 46 per 100 residents fits pretty well with the scenario that you have explained. Remko van der Vossen.
