New Carbine Options for UK Firearms Units
Over the last week several press releases have come out claiming that their company’s rifle has been selected for use United Kingdom Police Firearms Units. Since there are more than one, it has naturally led to some confusion.
The truth of the matter is that six models in 5.56mm from different manufacturers were approved for purchase in a framework which allows the the 50 individual units or so, to select the firearm from a list which they feel is best for their use.
The carbines approved are:
– KAC KS-1
– ?Glock AR
– ?Beretta NARC
– ?IWI Tavor
– ?Colt Canada C8
– ?FN ASR
If the individual unit would like something else, they’ll have to run their own competition.
Finally, the framework did not include optics so units will have to either adapt what they already have or purchase new models.
