Hungary to make sniper rifles

HM Arzenál Zrt., a company under the Hungarian Defence Ministry, will continue to make Unique Alpine AG’s sniper rifles and hunting guns in its factory in Kiskunfélegyháza. 

According to Index, Gáspár Maróth, the government commissioner for armed forces development, said before signing the relevant German-Hungarian industrial cooperation agreement that the Bavarian company will transfer not only the production facilities to Hungary but also its research and development units. The HM Arzenál Zrt. and the Unique Alpine AG

have been developing new weapons for one year.

He added that key players in the sector are already interested in the new products of the two companies. Furthermore, the police, the prison services, the military, and the National Tax and Customs Administration of Hungary will also buy the new weapons made in Kiskunfélegyháza.

Maróth stated that the investment can play a key role in the development of the Hungarian economy. The factory showed its newest TPG-3 sniper rifle made by Bavarian engineers and Hungarian developers for a Canadian tender and the AR–10 NX and AR–15 NX semi-automatic rifles allowing

more accurate targeting than other products in their category.
