The capacity is United States's alone. This is what the ledger can account for. Where no figure has been published for a producing country, only the plants and producers a source has named are counted, so the real total is higher.
Production by scope
Each country the item is made in, broken down into the producers and plants a source has named. A plant’s figure is part of its country’s, never added to it.

History
Every published figure for one line. The band is the range a source gave; hollow points are estimates; dashed is a target or forecast; grey points were corrected later.

Figures and evidence
