About Us

        AZAO, Inc is an Arizona-based weapons manufacturer. We construct and sell the country’s most powerful civilian weapons and, ironically, the least powerful as well. We are family owned, operate under conservative Christian values, and serve Arizona and abroad. Everything we make or offer is for sale to members of our local "Arlington Grenade Club", and un-restricted items are available to civilians and government agencies. We are fully licensed by the BATFE, U.S. State Dept (ITAR), TSA and the State of Arizona. AZAO maintains its own onsite high explosive storage and manufacturer licensing. 

       Our founder, Mr. Maldonado, has over 20 years experience in the firearms industry. A first generation American countryman born from immigrant parents, he designs and tests all the products we manufacture. He and his family live on a rural Arizona farm, far West of the hustle-n-bustle of metropolitan Phoenix. He can often be found reading a copy of the ATF's Orange Explosives Book, or wrenching on our manufacturing machinery.
