Over half a century: 56 years have passed since i Carabinieri have chosen to adopt the Beretta Pm12 as official submachine gun, but almost six decades later, the time has come for a change. In fact, the weapon will come with a new product manufactured in Gardone Val Trompia, Pmx D7 submachine gun. The latter was designed specifically for the military and had been talking about its development for several months.
The spending budgets of the Ministry of Defence they left no room for any doubt and after the experimentation it was time to officially present the weapon. Moreover, the Carabinieri have been eyeing the PMX D4 for about 7 years, above all because of its design that made it preferable over other proposals.
Throughout 2018 there should be a planned purchase of at least 6 thousand machine guns, for a total cost of just under 5 million euros. The Beretta Pm12 was born in 1956 as one of the best achievements of the gun technology, a judgment that was then confirmed over time.
