Firearm, Ammunition, Reloading, Parts & Components, Magazine and Tools & Maintenance appear in both lists, so those counts can be read against each other directly.
Each list stops at that distributor’s eight largest categories. A category on one list and not the other is one we have not counted here, not one that distributor does not carry.
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.
| Camfour | Chattanooga Shooting | |
|---|---|---|
| Ships to your store | Yes | Yes |
| Offers drop-shipping | Not stated | Not stated |
| Ships to your customer's FFL | Not stated | Not stated |
| Ships to your customer's address | Not stated | Not stated |
| Ships NFA items to a receiving SOT | Not stated | Not stated |
Every distributor here ships to your own licensed premises — that is what a wholesale account is, not a policy any one of them publishes. Confirm anything you will act on directly with the distributor.
Which should you open?
Chattanooga Shooting lists 46,305 distinct UPCs to Camfour's 19,249 — about 2.4× the breadth. 10,189 UPCs are carried by both — 53% of what Camfour lists and 22% of what Chattanooga Shooting lists. Beyond that overlap, 9,060 UPCs appear on Camfour alone and 36,116 on Chattanooga Shooting alone. If you open one account, Chattanooga Shooting is the wider of the two on its own — it leaves 9,060 UPCs unreachable, against 36,116 if you open Camfour instead. Carrying both reaches 55,365 distinct UPCs, 9,060 more than Chattanooga Shooting covers alone. The largest category in both lists is Firearm — Camfour lists 11,243 there to Chattanooga Shooting's 8,651. Over the window we monitor, the Camfour feed answered us 98.9% of the time and the Chattanooga Shooting feed 100%.
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.
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.
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 Camfour dealer account — The catalog's size makes this workable as either a primary or a supplemental account depending on your other distributor mix.
- 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.
