    MILITARY AND LAW ENFORCEMENT PRODUCT CATALOGUE FABBRICA D’ARMI PIETRO BERETTA Founded in 1526 and based in Gardone Valtrompia, Italy. Time proven and operationally tested, the centuries have passed and simply underlined Beretta as one of the premium names in the defense and Law Enforcement sectors. Producing the widest range of small firearms in the world from the most state-of-the-art facilities in the industry, the oldest firearms factory (officially documented since 1526), and one of the most successful has been passed down through 15 generations of the Beretta family and now exports over 75% of the weapons produced to over 100 countries. Beretta`s firearms have been adopted as the standard issue sidearm for many armed forces, elite units and law enforcement agencies worldwide including the 92FS semiautomatic pistol which is the official handgun of the US Armed Forces. Believed by many to be the greatest pistol ever made, the 92FS has redefined the standard for operational reliability. The next generation of semiautomatic techno-polymer handguns have been given their benchmark by Beretta`s recently released Px4 Storm series and in the field of assault weapons the ARX100 automatic rifle platform and GLX160 grenade launcher are redefining the standard. The combination of high tech modern materials and ergonomics have led to the Mx4 Storm submachine gun and the Cx4 Storm Carbine, both equally formidable in hostile environments or with close protection units. 5 PX4 Storm SEMIAUTOMATIC PISTOL 19 90 Series SEMIAUTOMATIC PISTOL 27 80 Series SEMIAUTOMATIC PISTOL 33 CX4 Storm SEMIAUTOMATIC CARBINE 39 MX4 Storm Contents SUBMACHINE GUN 47 TX4 Storm TACTICAL SEMIAUTOMATIC SHOTGUN 51 ARX 100 WEAPON SYSTEM 69 GLX 160 A1 GRENADE LAUNCHER 75 70/90 ASSAULT RIFLE 79 TACTICAL CLOTHING 3 PX4 Storm PISTOL SEMIAUTOMATIC 5 MILITARY AND LAW ENFORCEMENT PRODUCT CATALOGUE Because Lives Depend On it The Beretta Px4 Storm pistol is the most advanced expression of technological and ergonomic features in a semiautomatic sidearm.
