History
Özyurt Arms was founded in 2019 by Serdar Özyurt under the umbrella of Özyurt Silah Sanayi A.Ş. The company was established with the purpose of manufacturing and supplying weapons, weapon accessories, spare parts, and ammunition to Turkey's allied countries.[7] Four weapons underwent research and development under the Özyurt Arms brand. Among these, the weapon model that brought recognition to the brand is the model inspired by the Kalashnikov. The Asi-21[8] model was developed based on the Kalashnikov and exported to allied countries.[9][10] It significantly contributed to meeting the supply needs during the Azerbaijan-Karabakh conflict.[11]
To continue its commercial activities in the Americas, a subsidiary named BMZ Arms was established.[12][13]
