Beretta managed to win a major contract in the Middle East. The Gardone Val Trompia (Brescia) company was chosen for the supply of 3500 PMX machine guns which will be used by the royal guard of theSaudi Arabia. This is the same weapon that has been supplied to our Carabinieri since 2019, the most suitable model to replace the PM12S. It is a new generation specimen (caliber 9 × 19mm), with the ability to fire 900 rounds per minute.
The official presentation of the Beretta PMX dates back to 2017: it was developed starting from the historic PM12 model, already supplied to many police forces and armed forces around the world, it also has a manual safety a three positions ambidextrous with fire selector (single shot and full-auto).
