* Alexi Volkoff from {{Chuck}} among other illega activities.

** The trademark of U.S governmental policy seems to be: why not get the enemies of the people we don't like to kill them for us? That way hundreds of thousands of people can die but American lives won't be the cost! [[SarcasmMode Isn't that just wonderful?]]

** A majority of the Ferengi race fit this trope. They are willing to sell weapons to anyone all in the name of profit,

* The now infamous Charlie Wilson was a U.S. congressman who used his own power, he was a member of the appropiations committee (money lenders) for black ops, as well as working with a number of CIA and Special Forces agents to secure arms for Afghan Guerillas during the Soviet war in Afghanistan.

**** [[IronMan IN THE MIDDLE OF A SMALL VILLAGE IN [[strike:CHINA]] DA HAN ZHONG AND PHILIPPINES, WITH A GROUP OF REBELLIONS!]]

** What about the ones in the 3? they sold these [[RefugeInAudacity LEGALLY ON LOCAL STORE IN THE MIDDLE OF CITY]].
*** [[AndZoidberg And Internet]], although that one is implied to be illegal.

* ''ArmyOfTwo'' features four NPCs who sell the characters their armory. Of those four, only Cha Minh Soo has any relevance to the plot; the rest are nothing more than portraits. They could have been rolled into Cha Minh Soo's character and nothing would have changed.

* FrontMission: they didn't sell guns, they SELL [[HumongousMecha WANZER]] ON A TOWN?!
** justified in 1, it's a place for the wanzer gladiators shopping for 'arms'
** What about the ones in the 3? they sold these LEGALLY ON THE NEARBY SHOP

** Even more amazing is the CIA agent he worked with Gust Avrokatos, Gust once remarked of the immense balls of the Deputy Arms Minister of Egypt. Apparently during a meeting with Gust for weapons to be sold to Israel with money from the U.S. and Saudi Arabia with the intention of Israel handing the weapons to Pakistan who would move them into Afghanistan (yeah) the Deputy Minister was also darting in and out of two other rooms that each smelled strongly of tobacco and hashish. Apparently the minister was making arms deals with the Iranians in the room on the left, Americans in the center room, and Iraqis on the right. This despite the fact that Iran and Iraq were at war, and Egypt's attitude towards America at the time was "we'll write insulting things with our right hands while you pass cash and guns to our left."

* Gerald Kersh's short story, ''ComradeDeath'', is about an arms dealer who eventually controls the industry and specializes in horrifying chemical weapons.

-> There are over 550 million firearms in worldwide circulation. That's one firearm for every twelve people on the planet. The only question is, how do we arm the other eleven?

* '''Space Shooter Seller''': Characters or companies in sci-fi roleplaying games who will sell your weapons for your vessel.

This despite the fact that Iran and Iraq were at war, and Egypt was officially anti-American at the time.

** You forgot the third largest arms exporter: Germany. Yes, ''that'' Germany. Although it's probably better then [[WorldWarII when they keep them for themselves]] (the weapons, not the ammo; that, they shared freely).
