Verney-Carron S.A. is a French firearm manufacturing company based in Saint-Etienne, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. The company makes a wide range of hunting shotguns and rifles. In 2004, Verney-Carron purchased the traditional artisan gun making company Demas, forming the L'Atelier Verney-Carron brand of antique firearms.
Although more well known in France than the rest of Europe or North America, export of their firearms to South America and parts of Europe is not uncommon. Verney-Carron also notably designs and produce the "Flash-ball" less lethal rubber bullet gun widely used by French riot control police forces since 2000.
