The Dual Automatic Rifle (Spanish: Fusil Automático Doble was designed by Salomón Braga Lozo from SIMA Electronica, a division of the state-owned SIMA (Spanish: Servicio Industrial de la Marina shipyards, based in the port of Callao. Is a proposal centered around the cartridge NATO 5.56x45mm that offers less recoil, less weight and volume while at the same time giving precision, adequate range and ergonomy that is to be coupled with a "pump-action" type 40mm Grenade Launcher in a single package. It is of the "Bullpup" configuration; being a compact weapon can be easily used by armor crews, as a back-up weapon.
