Mendoza's Automatic Weapons: Serving Mexico Since 1911

By: Gonzalez, Luis Eduardo

This book offers an in-depth look at the life and contributions of Rafael Mendoza and examines his influence on Mexico's firearms industry. By sharing insights into his work, it aims to honor his legacy and highlight the lasting impact he had on the evolution of firearms in the country. He was instrumental in creating several key designs in ordnance and small arms, including the nation's first domestically produced light machine gun, which effectively served the Mexican Army and Navy for over thirty years.

Following his death in 1965, his son, H ctor, took over the company and played a vital role in establishing Productos Mendoza as a respected name in the Latin American arms industry. Today, the company continues to manufacture handguns and submachine guns for military and law enforcement agencies in Mexico.
