CZ 805 BREN
The CZ 805 BREN modular assault rifle is a gas-operated (short-stroke gas piston) selective fire self-loading rifle with a rotating breechblock, cold hammer forged chrome lined barrel designed and manufactured by Česká zbrojovka Uherský Brod. The modular design currently enables users to change the calibre of the weapon to 5.56×45mm NATO or 7.62×39mm intermediate cartridges by quick change of barrel with gas tubes, breech block, magazine bay and magazine.

The CZ 805 BREN was created to replace the Sa vz. 58 in the Czech Army in 2006, which later sprung a family of rifles; CZ 807, CZ BREN 2 and CZ BREN 2 BR.

The CZ 805 BREN is used by the Czech military, Indonesian special forces and Mexican police. In 2014, Slovak Army began to replace its vz. 58 rifles with CZ 805 BREN. In November 2016, the Czech Army received its first batch of CZ BREN 2 modular assault rifles. In 2017, French GIGN received 68 CZ BREN 2 assault rifles chambered in 7.62×39mm and is expected to order more, in order to replace most of its Heckler & Koch HK416. The CZ BREN 2 in 7.62×39mm was also issued to Egyptian airborne forces and Republican Guard in 2017 and 2018 respectively.
