Manufacturer: Fabryka Broni w Radomiu
Fabryka Broni w Radomiu was founded in the 1920s as a key element of the Polish arms industry, supplying weapons to the Polish Army. After World War II, it was rebuilt and developed, producing many types of weapons, including AK and Beryl rifles, which since the 1990s have been the basic equipment of Polish soldiers.
New challenges facing the Polish Army and limitations of further development of the Beryl rifle led to the creation of the Modular Firearms System Project (MSBS), currently known as the GROT rifle. Work on the project began in 2007. In cooperation between Fabryka Broni and the Military University of Technology, prototypes were developed in two variants - stock and stockless, which underwent final tests in 2010.
GROT is the world's first fully modular weapon, enabling quick exchange of the barrel length, trigger chamber and stock, which allows the rifle to be adapted to the user's needs. The first deliveries of the GROT C16 FB-M1 5.56x45 caliber rifle to the Polish Army began in 2017. Replacing older models, the GROT became the basic equipment of the Polish armed forces. By 2025, over 160,000 pieces of the weapon were delivered, constantly improving the design thanks to user feedback, which led to the creation of the A1, A2 variants and the proposed A3 version.
The Radom Arms Factory is a symbol of Polish engineering and national pride. For over 100 years, it has been supplying reliable weapons for the needs of the country's defense and foreign customers.
