Ah so the tragedy that is being played out in Syria is down to £30,000 worth of "small arms" ammunition that may or may not have been sold to Syria two years ago - WOW

Now let us see if that ammunition was sold by Britain what Syrian weapons could have been used for?

NATO calibres include:

5.56 x 45 mm
7.62 x 51 mm
9 x 19 mm
12.7 x 99 mm or .50 BMG (Browning machine gun)

Warsaw Pact calibres include:

5.45 x 39 mm
7.62 x 39 mm
7.62 x 54 mm (Rimmed)
9 x 18 mm Makarov
7.62 x 25 mm
12.7 x 107 mm or 12.7 x 108 mm
14.5 x 114 mm

AK-47 uses short chamber 7.62 rounds which Britain does not make because we do not use it our 7.62 rounds were longer.

That would leave 9mm NATO Ball ammunition for pistols? Again ours are too long. So we are not talking about British Government sales here we are talking about a dealer based in the UK who may well not even be a UK citizen.

In 2010 there were 220,000 men serving in the Syrian Army + 280,000 Reserves give each man 10 rounds "live" firing per year and that amounts to 5,000,000 rounds which would work out at 0.6p per round.

I would therefore hazard the guess that any ammunition sold to Syria by someone based in the UK with an "end user certificate" approved by British authorities has long since been expended and used way before the current stramash got underway.
