Introduction to PNP weapons:
Most of the weapons of the Philippine National Police had American and western influence, issuing Colt 1902 revolvers and Krag rifles for the Constabulary under American occupation, to Colt licensed Elisco made M16A1s which still see some circulation today. Ultimax 100 machine guns were utilized by Constabulary officers and the PNP for a short while. Galil ARM and SAR rifles see sporadic use, as well as HK33s and G3A3s entering Constabulary service, with the latter two still spotted in the hands of modern day PNP officers. Vast amounts of Israeli weapons such as Negev light machine guns and Galil ACEs are newly issued to regular PNP officers and SAF troopers.
Because the modern PNP is a civilian organization and weapons acquisition is easier than that of the military, one will find a seemingly overwhelming variety of firearms. Some of which are kept from the Constabulary days, personal purchases, or bought in small batches specifically for the Special Action Force or specific units like the Maritime Police.
The weapons used in PNP service are diverse and vary greatly, so this list will only cover those currently and most commonly seen in use.
Luckily, almost all of the firearms used in PNP service are very common on the airsoft market.
