Welcome to another Photo Of The Day! Beretta Defense Technologies have released some new photos of their New Assault Rifle Platform (NARP) chambered in 5.56×45 NATO, so why not share this new, interesting firearm with you?

The NARP uses a short-stroke gas piston, a rotating bolt locking system, and is patterned like the AR. Here it’s seen with the 3D printed B-Silent sound suppressor.

The Beretta NARP

Presented at DSEI in three variants in 5,56 NATO caliber, the New Assault Rifle Platform by BERETTA will be the first step of a completely new portfolio of battle weapons, this including a new assault rifle fitted with a muzzle flash reducer system and an improved thermal signature reduction.

Integrated with new BERETTA made B-Silent sound suppressor, produced using additive manufacturing technology, the new rifle dramatically reduces
soldiers’ signature thus increasing their survivability on the battlefield, masking soldiers from detection from sight and hearing.
