The Cape purchased a small number of units in 2014, using the RCA-2009 as a marine and airdrop firearm for its smaller profile and higher capacity magazine options in .25 caliber for operations in [[Etzil]] and [[Kelekona]]. Industry specialist believe the Cape plans to switch to a new primary firearm in the 2030s, with the RCA series being a favored contender, with possible modifications. | |||
