For a very long period, the factory would gather the tools needed to make firearms from various locations, including Cox's Bazar, and produce a variety of indigenous weaponry. Subsequently, the government acknowledged that these weapons, which were created in the country, were sold at hefty rates to terrorist organisations close to Arsa, Cox's Bazar city, Rohingya camps, and criminals throughout the nation.
