Waffenfabrik Bern

Waffenfabrik Bern, 1876

Weapons Factory Bern (German: Waffenfabrik Bern, also known as W+F Bern), was an arms manufacturer in Bern, Switzerland, which was a government-owned corporation producing firearms for the Swiss Armed Forces.[1] W+F was integrated into RUAG in 1999, which later discontinued the production of handguns and small arms.

List of W+F weapons

  • Vetterli rifle
  • Schmidt M1882 - 1882 revolver. Chambered in 7.5 Swiss Ordnance

  • Schmidt–Rubin - 1911 straight-pull bolt-action rifle. Chambered for the revamped 7.5×53.5 Swiss. The case was lengthened to 55 mm. This new load became the 7.5×55 Swiss.
