CETME?

#1

Post by RECIT »

I know CETME is just an acronym and you could theoretically pronounce it how ever you wanted. But I have heard several variations on the phonetics. Is it (see-tum) or (set-me)? Any help to keep me from looking like an idiot is helpful.

SOURCE
CETME is an acronym for Centro de Estudios Técnicos de Materiales Especiales (Center for Technical Studies and Special Materials), a Spanish government design and development establishment. While being involved in many projects CETME was mostly known for its small arms research and development. The CETME rifle is its most famous project.

I read the same article before I listed this post b/c it did not list a phonetic spelling. Thanx for the reply, but it didn't answer my question.
