There is one very interesting police... well, not "weapon" but "law enforcement device" - SZO-84, net-shooting ""Spider-gun" left to the RGA-86.

Ummm... what?

It's very simple Polish Defence Industry wants to add to its portfolio some new toys. That's all for now. The Polish Armed Forces haven't ordered it yet, but there is a good chance that they will buy it in the 'near' future.

The former chief of Polish Land Forces, general Buk, who died in the Polish Force One crash at Smolensk, was supported the bullpup design as the standard one for Polish Army. But after his death, his successors both in Land Forces Command and Mechanized and Armored Forces Command (the actual buyer of new equipment) do not answer that question. There is even some ideas from Warsaw's Military Institute of Technology side, co-designer of the MSBS-5,56, that the Polish army should adapt both version - the classic design as direct replacement of Beryl assault rifle, and bullpup one as successor of the Mini Beryl carbine and PM-84P/MP-98 submachine gun. The most important now is to start a second stage of R&D procedure and combine the proven action from technology demonstrator and the new shape to create models and than prototypes.

Thanks for the explanation. I think adopting both versions sounds like a sound idea.
