O wow, I did not expect such a small country to be a major weapons exporter.
How sure are you of that? I just googled and it was putting it on 15'th place.
Even so, weapon exports not the same as being part of military conflicts. I know a lot of military guys that never seen any conflict.
Do not know, I never heard it like that. It is usually net, when you say the biggest salmon exporter or the biggest cereal exporter is always net values since no one cares if it is per capital or not, everyone cares on how much of the market someone has.
It is one of those metrics that makes little sense per capita, except maybe as a reason why a country has a lot of money. Has a lot of export vs number of citizens. But the discussion was not around why they have a lot of money.
Crime statistics, income, wealth, homelessness, education - this seem very relevant as per capital.
If you said the amount of weapons sold locally would be important per capital.

Per capita
That seems like a strange metric to have as per capita.
Why? They're a small country and don't make and sell small arms on the American civilian market.
The fact is that they produce a large amount relative to their population size.

So does a guy alone on an island, but he’s not changing the world. Per capita is a STUPID metric for weapons production and sale.
