POTD: Beretta ARX160 – U.S. and Italian Naval Forces
Photo Of The Day and we take a look at the Beretta ARX160 in action. Here it can be seen aboard the U.S. Navy Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Dewey (DDG 105) during a visit, board, search and seizure drill in the Philippine Sea, 2024. The Beretta ARX160 was developed for the Italian Armed Forces as part of the “Soldato Futuro” project and was launched in 2008. Fast forward to 2024, and it still looks modern.
Below: Conducting weapon familiarization training on the M4 carbine with Italians. Is the ARX160 40 times better? Do you think they prefer the ARX160 over the M4, or not? For some reason, soldiers have a tendency to hate whatever rifle they’ve been given and always think the grass is greener somewhere else.
