![The P226 was designed for entry into the XM9 Service Pistol Trials, which were held by the US Army in 1984 on behalf of the US armed forces to find a replacement for the M1911A1. Only the Beretta 92F and the SIG P226 satisfactorily completed the trials. According to a GAO report, Beretta was awarded the M9 contract for the 92F due to better durability during endurance testing and a lower total package price. The P226 cost less per pistol than the 92F, but SIG's package price with magazines and spare parts was higher than Beretta's. The Navy SEALs, however, chose to adopt the P226 later after a repetition of failures with some issued Beretta M9s.[citation needed]..Although Schweizerische Industrie Gesellschaft is a Swiss company, Swiss law is highly restrictive when it comes to the export of firearms. Consequently, SIG entered into an agreement with German gun manufacturer (and eventual owner) J.P. Sauer & Sohn to facilitate an export market for their products. For the U.S. military XM9 trials, the P226 was imported by SACO. Interarms took over importing when the pistol was introduced for civilian sales. SIG-Sauer eventually founded SIGARMS, Inc. in the United States, to handle importation of their products. In 2000 the SIG Holding AG sold J.P. Sauer & Sohn GmbH to two German businessmen.[1] The brand name SIG Sauer remained at the J.P. Sauer & Sohn GmbH.](http://cdn.c.photoshelter.com/img-get/I0000fzOFu0wQlmU/t/100/I0000fzOFu0wQlmU.jpg)

![The L9A1 51 mm Light Mortar is a man-portable mortar system used by the British Army. Smoke, illuminating and high explosive bombs are available. A short range insert device allows the weapon to be used in a direct fire mode. The 51 mm mortar, which replaced the World War II-vintage 2 inch mortar, was due to be phased out by the use of the 40 mm L17A2 UGL (Under-slung Grenade Launcher) mounted on the L85A2 however operational experience has led to the decision to replace it with a 60mm Mortar[1] The 630 60 mm Mortar has been procured as a Urgent Operational Requirement (UOR) to replace the current 51 mm Mortar on current operations.[2]..Ammunition for the 51 mm mortar has a small, ring-pull safety pin on the side of the nose-fuze. The fuze remains unarmed until the pin is withdrawn. Therefore, the safety pin must always be removed and discarded before a mortar shell is fired.](http://cdn.c.photoshelter.com/img-get/I0000J6frCAsy3P4/t/100/I0000J6frCAsy3P4.jpg)
