The Czech assault rifle CZ 807 BREN firing the Soviet 7.62×39mm cartridge is said to be one of three finalists in the Pakistan Army's search for a new weapon to replace its decades-old Chinese Type 56 and the German Heckler & Koch G3 rifles.

The claim was made by the CZ 807's maker, "Česká zbrojovka a.s. Uherský Brod (ČZUB)," or the Czech Arms Factory.

ČZUB Director of Military Weapons Martin Šanda told Czech media the CZ 807 is a special version for the Pakistan Army derived from the CZ 805 used by the Armed Forces of the Czech Republic.

"(The) Czech arms industry has successfully participated in the tender for the rearmament of the Pakistani army with its CZ 807," said Šanda.

"Of the original eight candidates which met the extremely rigorous demands of the Pakistani army, there were only three finalists, including the CZ 807."

The other two alleged finalists haven't been revealed but informed sources claim these two are the Kalashnikov AK-103 and the FN SCAR-H.

The case for the AK-103 is strong since it's a Russian weapon and fires a 7.62×39mm cartridge round similar to that of the Type 56 (a Chinese version of the AK-47). The same can also be said for the SCAR-H since this weapon also fires a 7.62x39mm round.


Among the other firms competing for the Pakistan Army's new assault rifle are the Heckler & Koch HK-416 and the Beretta ARX-200. The ARX is chambered for the 7.62x51mm NATO round while the HK-416 fires the 5.56x45mm NATO round.

Šanda said rifle tests were conducted this year, "in all weather conditions from the Himalayan glaciers, where the temperature dropped below -40° C up to the jungle or desert, where they climbed to the contrary, we recorded + 54° C."

"Apart from these tests conducted directly by users of the combat units and weapons, they were tested in laboratory under applicable methodologies."

Šanda said the CZ 807 was evaluated as "the best in the context of user tests, for example, but also as the most accurate direct comparison of standardized absolute world elite.

"Additionally, the testing was attended throughout by CZ representatives who collected valuable data for further development of service weapons. Some of them spent most of the year in Pakistan in difficult conditions."

Good Job. Proud of you Bro. Keep it up

Not yet bro. It is received in a Turkish magazine.

Any link / photo of the magazine article ??

This news appears incorrect to me because three companies have already been shortlisted (out of total 8) and MKEK offered 7.62x51mm MPT-76 rifle only. No 7.62x39mm variant is in sight.

It's from the latest Turkish language edition of MSI. You should be able to get a workable translation using the Android Google Translator app. Rough translation: they sent some rifles, they didn't do too well in the summer (but good in the winter). The negative feedback was taken in by MKEK and MKEK is now waiting for the Pak Army to ask for the new rifles (for new summer tests).

Not likely.

We already have a LoU with CZ (one of the three finalists). Also, MKEK is offering only x51 rifle.
