    How far have we fallen in the world firearms importation hierarchy when the Mexicans and Albanians have a Beretta before we do?

    Anybody got any info about the thought process??

    Mexican Police Got the Berettas.
    The Mexican Military (AKA Cartel) did the whole FX-05 thing.

    Having had to deal with beretta's "customer service" before, I will pass on this one.

    ARX-160 A2

    Just thought I would let you guys know. I am a PMC working an instructor job on a foreign special forces contract. My unit received over 1100 ARX 160 A2s and my platoon was tasked with test firing them ALL (sounded good at first but it's tedious).

    We also have a large batch of HK 416s on order that have not yet arrived.

    Today was the first day we took them out for testing. All I can say is WOW. I honestly believe they need to cancel our order of 416s. The rifle performs flawless. We tested it in both modes of fire, semi and then full auto. We also tested both ejection modes in left and right. The rifle's recoil is focused into its center of gravity. It has the lowest recoil impulse of any piston gun I have ever fired (and I've fired most of them). Everyone in my platoon immediately fell in love with the rifle. It is so versatile, so reliable, easy to use and has a very small learning curve when transitioning from an M4 platform. Today we fired over 100 of them and had zero malfunctions. I would like to see some sort of adjustable cheek comb added like the ACR and SCAR have, but it's really not that big of a deal.

    Having fired the XCR, ACR, SCAR and 416 previously, and with over 20 years experience as a combat firearms instructor and former military guy, my honest opinion is that this is the rifle to save your money for if they hit the states. This thing runs like a sewing machine and is no doubt the most under rated rifle out there among the Gen 3 combat carbines. We also have the detachable grenade launchers but will not be taking those to the range for a month or so.

    Impressive review. I'll try to get in line for one anyway.

    Wink

    Let's flip a coin.
    Out of this rifle and the Tavor.
    Which would you choose?

    I'm taking sides with the Tavor.

    Now Baretta needs to make sure they don't blow it by making a "civilian" version and basically turn it into garbage. Make no changes besides full auto and barrel length, please. We don't need Bushmaster ACR 2.0.
