Might be a somewhat minor point when talking about these sorts of numbers, but weapons do get damaged to beyond the point of repair, especially in war. Weapons are often "lost" by soldiers and also need replacing (in peace time soldiers are usually charged for losing their weapon or other equipment - not so much in war time).
Perhaps put aside 10% of the total to cover these replacements before considering how many new troops could be armed?
