Engineering:Vektor Z88
From HandWiki
The Vektor Z88 ("Z-88") is a 9mm semi-automatic pistol produced by Vektor, the small arms brand name of Denel Land Systems, in South Africa . It is a licensed copy of the Beretta 92F. The gun was developed into the Vektor SP1, released in January 1993.[1] The gun was predominantly used by the South African Police Service.[2][3] The Z88 is implicated heavily in gang crime in South Africa; this is reportedly due to stolen firearms from police armouries.[4][5]
