Egyptian Navy Special Forces Adopt Beretta ARX-160

Posted July 18, 2013 in News, Rifles by Steve Johnson with 31 Comments

Photos of Egypt’s navel commandos, the Thunderbolts, armed with 5.56mm Beretta ARX-160 rifles have surfaced on the internet.

Egypt has also been purchasing CZ BREN A1 rifles, although it is not clear if those rifles are destined for the police or the military.

Many thanks to Albi for the tip.
