The Beretta AR70
This video delves into the history and design of the Beretta AR70, a 5.56mm infantry rifle developed in collaboration with SIG. It explores the rifle's lineage stemming from Beretta's unsuccessful bid for M16 production, its market introduction in 1972, and its adoption by military forces in Jordan, Malaysia, and Italian special forces. The description highlights design elements influenced by the AK series, such as the magazine system and rotating bolt, as well as its unique coil spring operating system. The video also touches upon the limited commercial import of the AR70/223 into the United States and its lesser-known status within the 'black rifle' community.
