I hope to see Baretta follow this trend. Leave it to the Swiss to come up with such a gun. Every household in Switzerland MUST have an automatic rifle; it’s the law.

I wouldn't suggest you try it.......automatic weapons are banned.

In fact, there seems to be a lot of misinformation regarding Swiss gun laws floating around the cybersphere.......

Firearms-Control Legislation and Policy: Switzerland

SIG Sauer is Swiss in name (ownership) only. There's SIG Sauer GmbH in a small town in northern Germany on the Baltic sea, and SIG Sauer Inc. in Virginia. The emphasis in the name is on Sauer.

The reason is the strict limitation of arms manufacturing in Switzerland:

Swiss law limits the ability of Swiss companies to manufacture firearms and Swiss companies who wish to do this have to do so by using a foreign partner. In the case of SIG they chose the German firm of Sauer & Sohn. (wikipedia)
