Speaking about the special public danger of illicit arms trafficking, attention is drawn to the fact that it consists, first of all, in creating the necessary conditions for the commission of other serious and especially grave crimes, as well as the growth of armed crime in general. In addition, a phenomenon such as the latent arms trafficking plays a huge role. The statistical data concerning the commission of the analyzed crimes are presented in the mass media and in official state editions. The article analyzes legislative acts regulating issues of criminal liability for arms trafficking. The classification of abductions, assignments, extortions of firearms, ammunition, explosives or radioactive materials and their possession by means of fraud or abuse of office depending on the method of committing a crime is given. Among the main determinants of their commissioning is an unstable political situation, the existing military conflict in the country, weak technical protection of military-industrial complex objects, and so on.
