History

CAR 816 assault rifle

In 2002, Caracal designers and experts working in conjunction with the United Arab Emirates Armed Forces started the development of a range of modern pistols and accessories.

By the end of 2006, Caracal International L.L.C. was incorporated and registered as a company in Abu Dhabi. With that, the foundation of a pistol manufacturing industry was established for the first time in the GCC.

Due to their complete manufacture in the United Arab Emirates, Caracal arms are not subject to United States’ imposed International Traffic in Arms Regulations.
