The announcement of American government it is clear, the stars and stripes army needs a weapon with the same firepower as a machine gun and the extreme precision of a rifle. Among the companies that could make it there is also Beretta: the Gardone Val Trompia group is ready to meet the needs of Washington which intends to replace the M249 supplied to the US military.
Several producers can aspire to this important and prestigious achievement. The Government spoke of a new generation automatic weapon, therefore very modern and capable of respect the characteristics of lightness and accuracy. On the other hand, we are still talking about the most important army in the world. Among the hypotheses that are circulating at the moment is that of the caliber 6.8, but there will be more over the next few months.
The States have recently replaced a weapon manufactured by the Brescia company with another from Sig Sauer, but the relationship between the parties is still intense and fruitful. The M9 pistol was first supplied to the US military in the far 1983 and the new order could bring further international prestige. The supply of weapons to foreign armies therefore continues to be a strong point of the Beretta.
