Couples of questions I wanted to ask.
1)What's the standard issue side-arm of the Pakistan Army?
2)The PK-10's that POF produces are they licensed/unlicensed copies of the Beretta 92's or an indigenous design?
3)Lastly what all AK various variants are in use by PA?I am aware of Type 56, 56-1(underfolder) and 56-2(sidefolder) all with milled receiver.Do these Type 56's have the AKM palmswell handguard or the regular Type 56/AK47 handguard or a mix of both?
1. There is no standard issue side arm with the PA. Officer mostly are buying their own weapons for self protection purposes in private capacity as well as they use it on official duties. Yeah, the special forces guys are issued with side arms, mostly Glocks and some other variants.
2. Most probably an unlicensed copy of the Beretta design. May not be 100% actual copy of the Beretta, but seems to be influenced by it and the firing mechanism may also be similar to Beretta.
3. We have the basic Type-56, 56-1 & 56-II versions in service an they have the regular palm swell hand guards. Plus, our special forces do use the Russian version of AK-47s and latest AK series too.
