Well, it has long been in no need of advertising. Everything is known to the world.

I subscribe to every word. The Czech arms school does not need advertising.

Well, not all the same, only for "AK Alfa"

[Mavrikiy]

And then the Czech economy flooded up.

[FlyEngine]

In the Czech Republic, so everything is not bad. The boom in the real estate market, the lowest unemployment rate since 93 (3,5%), economic growth over the past year - 2,5%, inflation - a little less than 2% per year.

[Topotun]

68 rifles a great advertisement? Well I do not know. Just the fact of the purchase soon. Now, if the whole army of France switched to this weapon ... Wow. And just recognition of a specific model, according to your requirements.

[Black Colonel]

They can simply buy a trial batch for testing and testing. And there you look and buy more.

[Black_Vatnik]

Wasn’t they going to rearm all the French security forces on HC 416? Or is the price painfully biting?

[demiurg]

The Czechs have a holiday, the export supply of weapons, as many as 68 rifles will be delivered

And why is it 7.62 / 39, it seems like everybody was lazy to charm this cartridge with a bunch of convincing arguments that 5.45 / 5.56 high-pulse stop and break better? And how is the new 6.5?

it’s just one of the types of weapons that the gendarmerie special forces will arm, but not the whole gendarmerie. depending on the task will be used. gendarmerie special forces as far as I understand this is an anti-terrorist group and from here and the number of trunks

[Kostya Andreev]

As one acquaintance told (a long time ago), this cartridge in the European version (that is, high-quality) is very different from the army in all respects for the better and at the price too !!!
but about why, probably about this. It was recognized that in order to counter terrorists in bulletproof vests, weapons with a more powerful stopping action of a bullet are needed

7.62 / 39, it seems like everyone is not too lazy to charm this cartridge

Why cry? Normal cartridge for assault weapons. True, today, and not without reason, is considered obsolete. They scam it mainly in the SA if there is an AK / AK-47 / AKM in the form of the main army (infantry) weapon. Because just for these purposes, it suits (and then did not) bad.

Quote: demiurg

that 5.45 / 5.56 high-pulse stop and punch better?

5,45x45 mm cartridge of a completely different class, albeit of intermediate power. A good cartridge for a full-fledged army (infantry) weapon.
5,45x39 mm is more similar to 7,62x39 mm. Because both are ammunition for assault weapons. 5,45x39 mm will be more modern. And better.

Quote: demiurg

And how is the new 6.5?

New? What is still a new, and even completely unsuitable 6,5 mm caliber?

[kirieeleyson]

removable trunks or different fashion?
we like a new PKK with 2 trunks, but it’s kind of removable there.

[yehat]

1 barrel, but which

Add humor:
On the BMP of the French Foreign Legion, the inscription "On Berlin" was noticed

Old PC with removable trunks. Pecheneg is already blowing a type of British Lewis of the beginning of the century.
I do not know, the British abandoned Lewis in favor of interchangeable trunks. This is exactly the opposite process. Who knows, who as a result will be right.

then I do not agree with the instruction.
Probably "Pechenegs" of several types. There is also a bulpap on the network. We had a unified PC, the only difference is the trunk. There was no casing.

It’s strange. There is the whole chip in the casing.

very interesting comparison of bells and whistles in the photo of 2 rifles.
on the near the scope is mounted, a handle and it seems a transparent store.
And against the background of "stock" equipment

[Svetozarny]

The sights are interesting. It will not walk? It looks a bit liquid, but as it was precisely noticed: the Czech arms school does not need advertising.

[Nyrobsky]

Admittedly, the Ceska Zbrojovka brand is deservedly respected, but the purchase of 68 barrels is nothing ..... We have more in our arms stores than France buys. And the French lower their gunsmiths closer to the plinth.

Yes, it’s painful they are innovators, they are striving all the way, but they are falling out of the trend, although they, the French, are creating fashion.

[Topotun]

Come on, let’s drop it. No party. Apparently for individual units it is easier to purchase imports than order your own. Especially a small amount.

[Tolstoevsky]

the Czechs, unlike the French, have a centuries-old weapons school

[Zaurbek]

And the rifle is interesting and caliber .... but not better for such purposes 9x39 with a normal powder charge?

[CAT BAIYUN]

Czechs can. Only now, somehow they were politically incorrect in relation to NATO cartridges
Not politically correct, but absolutely correct!

[tank66]

You wait for the gendarmerie what kind of thread the laser is on photonic batteries / to bring down Fantomas /, and then bam - 7,62x39.

AK already has so many options! Your Galil also seems to have taken a lot from him. But the Czechs redid it. And if they made a worthy flag in their hands.

This is not an AK, but a further development of the Vz.58, which differs from Kalashnikov due to gas exhaust automation with a short stroke of the gas piston. Thanks to this, accuracy increases when firing 7.62x39 rounds.
There is a Berrett ARX 160 under 7.62x39, so when comparing firing with the AK-74 at 5.45x39,400m, it showed almost the same result with 74 although it has better flatness.

[artalex32010]

Is CZ 806 not a development of CZ 805, which in turn is a development of CZ 2000? Somehow I came across a network prototype CZ 805 http://s62.photobucket.com/user/REMOV/media/MSPO2
006 / _CZ805Lada_04.jpg.html here it is written about him http://www.securityarms.com/forums/showthread.php
? t = 643 And as a long time ago one Czech here confirmed that the CZ 805 Bren is the development of their local version of Kalashnikov.

[Vz.58]

Interesting you judge. Ceska Zbrojovka has already armed the entire army of the Czech Republic with CZ 806 Bren 1 rifles. The CZ 806 Bren 2 rifle was created based on the wishes of the soldiers who used Bren 1 in different “hot spots”. Please note that the CZ 806 Bren 2 no longer has a cutoff for 2 or 3 shots. Only single fire or full automatic fire. Bren 2 already comes in parts.
Incidentally, in the photograph, the CZ 806 Bren 2 rifle with a short barrel is equipped with a standard NATO store under the standard 5,56x45 NATO cartridge

[Thunderbolt]

It was recognized that in order to counter terrorist wearing bulletproof vests, weapons with a more powerful stopping action of a bullet were needed.

And if a terrorist pulls two armor on himself?

[Roma 1977]

A special butt for blows in the face is included in the "luxury" option.

[Thompson]

Why be surprised? NATO has no intermediate cartridge like ours. Therefore, they did not buy Kalash to them, so they chose a neutral neighbor.

[F.NN]

Quote: Thompson

NATO has no intermediate cartridge like ours

NATO does not. As unnecessary.
But NATO members have such ammunition for official purposes. Americans, for example, have a 6,8x43 SPC and Barrett REC7 Gen II on it. In terms of performance characteristics, something like AKM is 7,62x39 mm, only more modern and noticeably better. Although, of course, the little thing is small-scale. Because in large quantities, like AKM, the army is not needed.

[Holoy]

GIGN - good special forces ...

[DesToeR]

Soviet cartridge 7,62x39 ... "obsolete", which the whole world is still fighting, "Soviet misunderstanding" and into the arsenal of an elite detachment. Coincidence, "stoker"? I don’t think so!

[Michael HORNET]

Well, then the trend is obvious ... But in principle, everything is clear - the special forces of the gendarmerie, experienced users, short-range shooting, especially since the restrictions on the type of bullet do not work and the half-shell 7,62x39 works very well
He’s interested in the store from AKM or his own, the latches are not visible, but the article does not have a photo, but a render

[MRomanovich]

Comrades, do not be ironic. 68 units is only an initial purchase. In the future, GIGN plan to replace almost all HK416 with Bren 2.

[Serjius]

Hello everyone. I decided to register all the same.
I wonder why they did not use any device like FN SCAR-H? If you need more stopping action on the target in the bronics, then a rifle cartridge with energy 1,5-2 times higher will be more effective.
