It seems a MoU has been signed with Baretta by POF at IDEX 2017.

MoU for what, that isn't yet cleared, but i think it may be for the new assault rifle or something else.

Does not mention selection of rifle so the process is not finished, false alarm Hazrat @Zarvan

 

[Bilal Khan (Quwa)]

It's an LoU for having POF re-sell Beretta pistols, shotguns and apparel in Pakistan. Still interesting, I wonder if there's a text for the LoU, would like to know if gradual ToT of pistols and shotguns is included.

ok that is interesting I will have to look the pistol up. i hope shotgun is Benelli which we can adopt into military service as well.

Licenses are not getting issued, import of weapons has stopped since last 3 years due to which the Chinese CF-98 which used to cost around 30-35K has gone to 50K.

So the move of POF i don't understand as Baretta weapons are very expensive.

Anyhow, this move at the time when its assault weapon has reached the top 2 finalists gives me a hint that we may be seeing Baretta winning as the final weapon.

Hand Guns could be coming for Armed Forces and Police and also Short Guns

Bhai, they are already producing the Turkish guns and they are in service with the army.

And you wanna give Baretta guns and shotguns to police ??

Last time they got Glocks and they went to Darra Adam Khel, got the copies made. Police guys kept the copies with them as service pistols and sold the original ones in the market and made lot of money.

Anyway, time will tell.

 

[PAR 5]

I wish I could share your optimism but my information from POF and Weapons & Equipment Directorate at GHQ say otherwise
