Another new thing... This time, a new rifle.
Czechoslovakian army selected a new CZ 805 assault rifle as its modern primary firearm. First of the 8000 order are to be delivered this year despite the weapon is yet to be tested by the army
I know, I know, real time horizon is likely to be at least twice as long.
Anyway... The weapon is supposed to come in three calibers:
5.56mm NATO, 6.8mm SPC and 7.62x39. These variants shall be modular. SCAR anyone? Well, even its looks are SCAR-y
Anyway, the 5.56mm variant is supposed to be "main line" and to consist of:
Carbine (ca. 14" barrel)
Compact (9" - 11")
DMR/SAW (20")
Rate of fire 740 rpm and a domestic 40mm grenade launcher was developped as well.
Will supply pics and more in the evening.
