A-TEC suppressors
Norway’s A-TEC is one of the best-known suppressor manufacturers in Europe. PWS is its official distributor in Poland and presented a broad selection of these muzzle devices at Euro Target Show 2026. The stand featured both suppressors designed specifically for hunting applications and models intended for long-range firearms as well as semi-automatic and automatic carbines.
In the context of practical and defensive carbine shooting, the models using A-FLOW technology deserve particular attention. These suppressors belong to the family of so-called flow-through suppressors, which, thanks to their special internal design and front-end vents, reduce the backflow of gases — a phenomenon that is detrimental to both the firearm and the shooter.

Messerschmitt Weapons
Messerschmitt is a brand owned by Waffen Schumacher, which also owns brands such as Schmeisser and Falke. Its product range includes affordably priced firearms in three categories:
- 1911 pistols
- AR-15 family carbines, including PCCs
- Bolt-action precision rifles
The ME 1911 pistols are offered in .45 ACP and 9 mm x 19 Parabellum versions, with either a silver or black finish. They are examples of classic 1911s in a somewhat more modern form, without straying too far from the original design. Features include a longer and wider beavertail, an enlarged safety lever, practical adjustable sights, a Picatinny rail, and two-tone grip panels.
Moving on to long guns, the AR-15s are available with 10.5-inch, 14.5-inch, and 16.75-inch barrels. By today’s standards, these are straightforward ARs, featuring a .223 Wylde chamber – meaning they are compatible with both .223 Remington and 5.56 × 45 mm NATO – standard furniture, a low-profile gas block, and a long M-LOK handguard. In short, Messerschmitt’s carbines are potentially a solid platform for further customization. The lineup also includes a PCC (9 mm × 19 Parabellum) with a classic blowback action.
Another category of Messerschmitt long guns in PWS’s offering is the MPR long-range bolt-action rifle. At a relatively low price for this type of firearm, the shooter gets a system in an aluminum chassis with an M-LOK forend and an adjustable stock – with FS variants additionally featuring a left- or right-side folding stock, configurable to the user’s preference. The MPR is available in .308 Winchester (20-inch barrel) and 6.5 Creedmoor (24-inch barrel) versions.
