Ramirez-Abruggo BF-1

Description

The Ramirez-Abruggo BF- 1 was the first mass-produced binary propellant rifle in use, but it has now been replaced by more modern weapon designs. Even when in first-line service, the Ramirez-Abruggo BF-1 binary propellant weapon’s performance was always considered to be disappointing.

The Ramirez-Abruggo BF-1 currently remains widely used only because it was originally produced in extremely large numbers. While the Ramirez-Abruggo BF-1 was initially quite expensive to produce, surplus models are now generally available for purchase at a fairly inexpensive price.
