Estimated number of civilian guns per capita by country

This is a list of countries by estimated number of privately owned guns per 100 people. The Small Arms Survey 2017 provides estimates of the total number of civilian-owned guns in a country. It then calculates the number per 100 people. This number for a country does not indicate the percentage of the population that owns guns, because single individuals can own multiple guns. See also Percent of households with guns by country.
