The Dual Automatic Rifle (Spanish: Fusil Automático Doble) was designed by Salomón Braga Lozo of SIMA Electronica, a division of the Peruvian state-owned SIMA (Spanish: Servicio Industrial de la Marina) shipyards, based in the port of Callao. It is an assault rifle centered around the cartridge NATO 5.56x45mm that offers low recoil, low 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, it can easily be used as a back-up weapon by armored crews.

“Among women.—”The truth? Oh, you don’t really know what ‘the truth’ is! Isn’t it an assault on all our pudeurs?””
