Ultima Ratio: RAID and the Founding of PGM Precision
This video details the development of the PGM Ultima Ratio sniper rifle, commissioned by the French elite police unit RAID. It highlights RAID's dissatisfaction with previous rifles leading to a 1989 RFP, where PGM Precision, founded by Gilles Payen, ultimately won against Accuracy International due to its innovative finned barrel design and responsiveness to client needs. The rifle's name, 'Ultima Ratio,' and its production origins are also explored.
