EDGE entity CARACAL, a regional leader in the design and production of high-performance firearms, will be debuting their latest line of commercial and hunting firearms at the Middle East Hunting Exhibition, being held at the Dubai Marina, from 7 to 10 November.
Over the course of the annual event, CARACAL will exhibit their full line of commercial firearms, in addition to small-calibre ammunition from EDGE entity LAHAB LIGHT AMMUNITION, the UAE’s sole ammunition producer.
CARACAL will also display a range of high-end hunting rifles from Liwa Arms and Merkel, CARACAL’s German producer of luxury hunting rifles.
Hamad Al Ameri, CEO of CARACAL, said, “The Middle East Hunting Expo presents an ideal platform for us to boost our relationship with regional shooting and hunting communities. Our debut will showcase the latest firearm technology available to professional shooters and huntsmen.
"In addition to our UAE-made firearms that stand out in the global market, we will also display a unique collection of hunting rifles that have been developed to offer industry-leading precision and ergonomics. As we offer highly competitive firearms, we look forward to playing an increasingly important role in growing the UAE’s shooting and hunting communities.”
In the 9mm category, CARACAL will showcase the CARACAL EF and CARACAL F GEN II combat pistols, the CARACAL 2011 pistol in a range of configurations and colour schemes, and the CMP9 submachine gun. The “Liwa” pistol, featuring a gold-inlayed Arabic poem on the slide, and cultural landmarks plated in yellow gold, rose gold, and platinum on the grip, will also be showcased.
High-performance rifles on show will include the mission-proven CAR 816 assault rifle in multiple barrel lengths and the CSR 308 sniper rifle, chambered in .308 Winchester.
Hunting rifles on display from Merkel will include the Helix Speedster, Helix Black, the K5 single-shot rifle, the Jaeger 10 bolt-action rifle, Anschütz hunting rifles, and over-and-under-barrelled rifles. Liwa Arms’ Chayeh Z20 will also be on display, in addition to the Chayeh Z22 ‘Saktoon’.
