Where each one will ship it

Taken from each company’s own site on the dates shown on their individual pages. Running a drop-ship programme and naming where the parcel goes are separate questions, and most distributors answer only the first — so “Not stated” below means they have not published it, not that they refuse.

Which should you open?

Camfour lists 19,249 distinct UPCs to Allen Arms Tactical's 1,565 — about 12.3× the breadth. 549 UPCs are carried by both — 35% of what Allen Arms Tactical lists and 3% of what Camfour lists. Beyond that overlap, 1,016 UPCs appear on Allen Arms Tactical alone and 18,700 on Camfour alone. If you open one account, Camfour is the wider of the two on its own — it leaves 1,016 UPCs unreachable, against 18,700 if you open Allen Arms Tactical instead. Carrying both reaches 20,265 distinct UPCs, 1,016 more than Camfour covers alone. Over the window we monitor, the Allen Arms Tactical feed answered us 100% of the time and the Camfour feed 98.9%.

This is arithmetic on the counts above, not a recommendation of one company over the other. Which account is worth opening also depends on terms and on what your customers ask for, neither of which is in the catalog data we measure. What each company publishes about shipping destinations is in the table above it.

Allen Arms Tactical

Allen Arms Tactical carries one of the smaller catalogs Project Parabellum syncs, focused on a lean assortment rather than trying to cover every category a general-purpose counter needs. For a dealer who already has a primary distributor for volume ordering, an account here works well as a secondary source to fill gaps or chase a specific item when a bigger distributor is out of stock. Its size also means a full sync completes quickly.

Camfour

Camfour syncs a mid-to-large catalog mixing firearms, ammunition, and accessories, connected through a dealer API on the same automated schedule as the other API-connected distributors here. For a dealer weighing how many accounts to run, Camfour's breadth is wide enough to anchor a storefront on its own rather than serving only as a supplemental source.

Both links leave this site. Applications are submitted to, reviewed by, and approved by the distributor themselves — Project Parabellum is not part of that process and cannot speed it up or vouch for you.

Project Parabellum is not affiliated with Allen Arms Tactical or Camfour, and neither distributor reviews or supplies this page.

The counts here are our own measurements of the feeds we sync, refreshed hourly. They describe what each distributor sends us, which is not the same thing as everything either company sells, and they will differ from figures published elsewhere.
