During the already concluded XXXII International Defense Industry Exhibition MSPO 2024, unofficial announcements of the availability of some firearms from Radom have appeared. One of them concerns the Polish MSBS Grot rifle manufactured by Fabryka Broni Radom, which is to be available in a bullpup variant on the civilian market at the end of September this year.

The design itself was created in parallel with the classic variant (which was the core idea of ​​the Modular Firearms System project), but it has not yet been accepted by the uniformed services and the entry of this version of the MSBS rifle into mass production (and general sale) was very much in question. The MSBS bullpup has been stirring interest among firearms enthusiasts for years, but one can get the impression that the bullpup system itself gained enough popularity to become a universal design and has remained somewhat of a niche, while the market is still dominated by classic layout designs. So will the introduction of the bullpup Grot to the market at this point prove to be a success?

The bullpup version of the MSBS Grot appeared in one of the videos on the "Forgotten Weapons" channel run by Ian McCollum, one of the most well-known and characteristic figures in shooting media.

There was also information about the introduction of last year's premiere, the MPS pistol from FB Radom to the civilian market (Showcasing of a new pistol from Radom - the FB MPS). In this case, the first series of one hundred pistols is not scheduled to hit the market until the end of the year.
