Default How strict are the App Store rules?

I'm considering making a semi-realistic strategy game about arms trafficking, but I'm not sure if I'm violating some App Store rule.
What do you think, would the game be accepted?

In general, there is apple doc that says what kind of content can be and cannot to be

Rather than getting a few random thoughts around here, I would advise you to look at what's (not) in the store already. It will give you an idea of what has been approved already.

Ah, now I see there is one with the same theme, so it doesn't seem like it will be a problem

If you have realistic violence, it can't be accepted. But that means like actually killing real people/animals.. When it comes to guns, I think they're pretty lenient so you should be fine. As long as it doesn't involve drugs..

Grand Theft Auto deals with weapons and drug sales so I think you'll be fine.
