The Fusil Automático Doble (English: Double Automatic Rifle) is a Peruvian bullpup assault rifle designed by Peruvian arms designer Salomón Braga Lozo and manufactured by SIMA Electrónica.
Due to its simplicity and light weight, it is used in the Peruvian Army as a secondary weapon.
The country was originally intending on purchasing 580,000 AN-94 assault rifles to replace the HK33 already in service, but ended up settling on the FAD due to its price.
[1] The weapon, designed by Salomón Braga Lozo in 2008, began production the same year by the manufacturer SIMA Electrónica, a subsidiary of SIMA (Servicio Industrial de la Marina), a branch of the Peruvian Navy, located in the port of Callao.
The FAD is made from stamped sheet steel and polymer, incorporating a modern grip, but lacks a full trigger guard, utilizing the cocking handle of its 40mm grenade launcher to prevent any accidental trigger contact.
