Which should you open?
Chattanooga Shooting lists 46,305 distinct UPCs to Allen Arms Tactical's 1,565 — about 29.6× the breadth. 662 UPCs are carried by both — 42% of what Allen Arms Tactical lists and 1% of what Chattanooga Shooting lists. Beyond that overlap, 903 UPCs appear on Allen Arms Tactical alone and 45,643 on Chattanooga Shooting alone. If you open one account, Chattanooga Shooting is the wider of the two on its own — it leaves 903 UPCs unreachable, against 45,643 if you open Allen Arms Tactical instead. Carrying both reaches 47,208 distinct UPCs, 903 more than Chattanooga Shooting covers alone. Both feeds answered us 100% of the time over the window we monitor.
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.
Chattanooga Shooting
Chattanooga Shooting Supplies runs one of the deepest catalogs on the hub, spanning firearms, ammunition, optics, and accessories. Project Parabellum consumes it as an API integration over a CSV feed and pulls the catalog on a schedule, so the depth shows up in how long a pass takes rather than in how current the result is. A dealer weighing this account against the narrower feeds here is mostly weighing breadth of assortment against the shorter sync of a smaller catalog.
Applying for a dealer account
- Apply for a Allen Arms Tactical dealer account — Because the catalog is smaller, check availability here as a secondary source rather than a primary one.
- Apply for a Chattanooga Shooting dealer account — Because the catalog is this large, the first full sync after connecting an account takes noticeably longer than for a smaller distributor. API access for your own store is a separate request once the dealer account is active.
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.
