Beretta debuted their New Assault Rifle Platform at DSEI. NARP is a short stroke piston platform with two gas position settings for normal and suppressed.
Currently chambered on 5.56 NATO, the representative assured me that other calibers are coming, including a scaled up 7.62 version.
It is fully ambidextrous and utilizes an AR-style rear charging handle. In addition to the M4-style collapsible buttstock, it will also accept a side folder.
There are currently three barrel lengths, 11.5″, 14.5″ (not shown in these photos), and 16″.
While they would not show me the internals, I was told that NARP features a lubricant free coating.
The max o/a LE th with a 14.5″ barrel and extended stock is 34.9″ and 31.7″ with the stock collapsed.

This 100% Afghan Cashmere Shemagh is sourced and loomed in Kabul, Afghanistan. Prior to the fall of Kabul, Combat Flip Flops worked to set up a full supply chain in Afghanistan to support cashmere goat herders, workers to harvest the material, and looms to weave the finest scarf on the market.
Two weeks prior to the fall of Afghanistan, Combat Flip Flops received the first samples, then everything fell apart…
” ‘SURRENDER’ IS NOT A RANGER WORD.”
While the rest of the world gave up on our Afghan partners, Combat Flip Flops didn’t. After two years of navigating every problem you could imagine in Afghanistan while enduring a significant tactical pause, the Kabul team is finally back to work.

Gentex has updated the FAST Bump Helmet. The biggest thing you’ll notice is that it no longer has a molded shroud to accommodate those conducting airborne operations. It has been replaced with the same Lightweight Modular Bungee Shroud as other helmets in the range. It also now features PowerPath ARC Rails which allow the user to route cables behind the rail to keep them out of the way.
Thales Lithgow Arms has unveiled their new F90D which is also available for their Australian Combat Assault Rifle as the D Model. The D designation is for digital.
The heart of this new capability is a network sighting system which uses the Thales Squad Net radio for communications.
It uses a laser to designate an item of interest on the battlespace. Because the rifle knows where it is, and what direction the weapon is pointed, it triangulates the “target” and allows the user to characterize it as friendly, enemy, or target of interest. The system is Laser agnostic and will work with most on the market.
The information collected by the system is then shared with the squad (and others if desired). This includes friendly information so that if you sight on a target, you will know if it is friendly or not. The information is shown on the sight as you can see here. I’ve looked at it and it’s clear to the eye.
The battery is contained in the buttstock. Here you can see the version for the ACAR.
Here you can see the hub used on the ACAR for power and data. It is Picatinny compatible.
The team is continuing to work on integrating additional sensor inputs.
