The Navarese freely admitted to spying on Equestria to obtain the knowledge and information needed to build firearms. During the Navarese Civil War, they manufactured arms in smaller, less controlled settings in a lot of cases. While the majority of arms produced were, in fact, Zhukovs chambered in 9x18mm (as somewhat intended of the design), they also produced their own Assault Rifle and Pistol designs, as well as myriad other arms. However, one limitation is that the initially-designed Navarese arms did not use powders as high of pressure as Equestrian and NEIGHTO arms of the same calibers. As a result, NEIGHTO ammo cannot be used in certain Navarese arms, as they will cause a chamber rupture.
An odd linguistic note, the Navarese use the term "Combate Brazo" (lit. Combat Arm - as in an appendage), as they initially misunderstood what "Fire Arm" quite meant. So, to them, weapons are appendages, or an extension of one's foreleg.
