The Pakistan Ordnance Factories (reporting name: POF) is a major firearms, defense contractor,
and military corporation headquartered in Wah Cantt, Punjab, Pakistan. It is "the largest defense
industrial complex under the Ministry of Defense Production, producing conventional arms &
ammo to international standards. POF Board headquarter is at Wah Cantt. Presently POF
comprises of 14 ordnance factories and three commercial subsidiaries. Pakistan Ordnance
Factories also manufacture commercial explosives, hunting ammunition and possess extensive
facilities for the manufacture of brass, copper and aluminum ingots, extrusions and sections for
non-military applications. A garments factory, which has state of the art cloth cutting facilities
and modern stitching units, manufactures military uniforms and can also cater for the needs of
the civil sector". Founded in 1951 by the government of Pakistan with early collaboration from
the British Royal Ordnance Factory, the POF engineers, develops, produces, manufactures, and
promotes a wide range of different types of infantry and special-
purpose weapons, explosives, ammunition, mortars, rockets, and the military gear for Pakistan’s
military. Its corporate leadership comes from a deputation by GHQ where the chief of army
staff (COAS) approves the appointment, but POF is under the Ministry of Defense, so
the COAS is not in the direct chain of command. The POF is the earliest and one of the largest
military corporations in Pakistan, and later influenced many other military corporations in
the Pakistan Armed Forces. POF produces ammunition that meets requirements set by NATO
specification. Apart from military works, the POF also serves the civilian law enforcement
agencies, paramilitary, and private security markets nationwide. In addition to meeting the
demands of Pakistan Defense Forces, POF products are in service with over 40 countries, in
Europe, Africa, Asia, the Middle East and the Americas. Ammunition and rifles have been
exported to countries such as Iraq, Croatia and Afghanistan for their respective military
establishments. POF specializes in the manufacturing of commercial explosives, hunting
ammunition and possesses extensive facilities for the manufacture of brass, copper and
aluminum ingots. A state of the art garments factory, manufactures military uniforms and can
also cater for the needs of the civil sector. As of post 2010s, Pakistan has been aiming to push
ahead with its export market but facing difficulties due to international guidelines enforced by
the United Nations.

that can fire weapons around corners. It was first revealed at the 5th International Defense
Exhibition and Seminar (IDEAS 2008), held at the Karachi Expo Centre in November 2008. It is
designed for SWAT and special forces teams in hostile situations, particularly counter-terrorism
and hostage rescue operations. It allows its operator to both see and attack an armed target
without exposing the operator to counter-attack.
