The Company
Beginning in 2003, a team of leading European weapon designers, in cooperation with UAE professional weapons users, developed a range of modern pistols incorporating a high content of innovative solutions, protected by internationally registered patents and verified successfully through independent tests. The final product was subjected to grueling tests, carried out by the Federal German Armed Forces Testing House WTD91 in Meppen, Germany. These included metallurgic and composite analysis, functional fitness-for-purpose and quality evaluation, endurance firing, environmental exposure, safety and accuracy tests. The Caracal comprehensively passed and its compliance with the NATO D14 test criteria, along with that of the German TA Police Standard and the Federal Armed Forces Technical Purchasing standard. The company was officially launched during the 2007 IDEX exhibition in Abu Dhabi. The Caracal F and C 9mm pistols were introduced to the international small arms world during the same event. Today, Caracal International is a small arms brand which offers a complete range of small arms solutions from pistols to carbines and sniper rifles.
