Quick reminder to the world that the CZ2000 series of rifles exist

Or well, was planned to exist. Mid-90's design that's basically an improved, actually-modernized AK that takes 5.56, for NATO compatibility. Never went anywhere 'cause the government's economical Czechs and balances weren't in order, and by the time the Czech had the money to replace the Vz.58, they went with the notSCAR CZ 805 BREN instead.

Zafer Erdem, a kinetic sculptor from Rize, works with his own product, a 220 lb (100 kg) giant iron revolver, in Istanbul, Turkey, on July 22, 2018. Making the massive iron weapon took about one and a half months. #
At least the Bren is a good lookin' gun.

It's certainly not bad looking. Always struck me as a bit of a MGS:V'd SCAR. Then again, it appears that its development was both inspired by and competing against the SCAR, so trying to match it in design seems understandable.
I also quite do like the 7.62x39 variant of it:

Modern design with the sort of old-school sharp curve of the magazine is pretty dang hot. Oddly enough, the above specimen is supposedly used by the French GIGN, for some reason. I'm not quite sure I understand what they want with a 7.62x39 rifle, but there you go. They do own a handful of them.
Are those protective hoods on the rear sights?
Also, speaking of 5.56 AKs, how about a Zastava:
https://gun.deals/sites/default/files/M90NP%20%282%20of%2019%29.jpg
Also known as Yugos due to their country of origin, because Yugoslavia and the subsequent post-Yugoslav-states were never officially part of the eastern bloc, firearms made in those countries have been easier to obtain in America than firearms directly from Russia and China. Zastava AKs are generally recognizable by their longer than usual hand guards and thicker reinforced receivers. These receivers are actually based on that of the RPK LMG/LSW variant of the AK rather than the standard AKM rifle. This M90 model can be seen as an attempt to both Americanize and (by the standards of the early 90s) modernize the original Zastava M70 AK by converting it to 5.56, going with fully polymer furniture, adding a bolt catch hook to the safety, and making it compatible with STANAG magazines.
In general I find Yugoslavian made guns to be very interesting just because they were in a rather awkward position during the cold war as the head of the nonaligned movement, consequently the degree of support and influence they received from the major powers varied wildly as time went on.
Yup, big, fat steel rods bent down around them. Not a bad design, I reckon; certainly better than the open, surprisingly snagtacular regular AK sight.
Miles from TFB has some decent speculation about it:
The operational requirement for the cartridge was released in 2015 after the disastrous Bataclan theater attacks in Paris. Beginning with the after action reviews from that attack, a number of law enforcement agencies across Europe began seriously looking into more powerful calibers for their officers in order to counter body armor clad attackers. In addition, many of the attackers in these recent terrorist attacks are committed to dying during the course of the attack and thus could probably fight longer while being hit with 5.56x45mm NATO rounds.
My first assumption is that GIGN doesn’t actually want the 7.62x39mm round. My inkling is that the service actually wants the .300 BLK but is hesitant on being one of the first groups to take the plunge and commit to a cartridge that hasn’t seen extensive operational usage. Seeing that the CZ 806 is itself extremely modular, I assume if overall reception of the .300 BLK goes well in Europe, GIGN will simply purchase .300 BLK barrels to replace the 7.62x39mm ones.
Though I think it's more about """stopping power""" in close quarters than body armor penetration which 7.62x39 doesn't do that well. The right 5.56 rounds can still do a lot of tissue damage, but I think many European units still use SS109/M855 ball
That's the problem with costa gripping an SBR.
I wonder if that line of thought will lead to the adoption of full power cartridges in carbine weapons for counter-terrorist teams.

Here's probably the strangest looking "modernized AK" rifles I've ever seen
https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/DNO-Firearms-DX-7-8.jpg
https://static1.squarespace.com/static/572fdebf2fe131e2fe8c69a1/58ab2e6c197aea3df28a4ce6/58ab300e59cc68ccc50b2e69/1487614148377/FullSizeRender+3.jpg
DNO DX-7. I think what makes it so strange compared to most "modernized AKs" is that this one just completely replaces the receiver rather than slapping as much crap as they can find over an existing one.
I really like this one, the grip is cool and I like putting the charging handle on the left instead of leaving it on the ejection port. Even integrates a rail pretty nicely. Lame stock though.
Modernized AK, but still with the sight way up front on the receiver... Look, either you go 'no sights, slap an optic on it', or you fucking fix those god damn sights. You even improved the receiver itself to a point where it might just be a solid mounting point, but no. No, gotta run with the old terrible sights.
Its got a toprail, nothing stopping you from mounting a sight on there. I'm guessing they kept the standard sights on just because the sight block is a part of the standard AK barrel trunnion.
yeah except for the obvious reason
"fnh best lmao"
The SCAR-L is of questionable value because it offers very little over an AR. The SCAR-H on the other hand is very impressive, it's the modern battle rifle, reasonably controllable and highly accurate select fire 7.62.
Back when the 416 was first in development the US tested it against the SCAR, they found the SCAR-L outperformed the 416, unless HK substantially improved the design of the 417, I don't see reason to expect it would do better against the SCAR-H. Additionally in the original SCAR-L vs 416 test the 416 had a cost advantage, now the SCAR has the cost advantage since its already been in use for some time.
To be fair, the SCAR L in it's current iteration was never meant to replace the M4, or really be a standard service rifle to anyone. It's a rifle with the needs of special forces in mind, and while it's easy to make an argument that any other rifle could fit those needs just as well and be suitable for general service, that's not the case for the SCAR. This is why the SCAR has such silliness as a non-reciprocating charging handle; a feature you generally don't want in a service rifle if you can avoid it because obvious reasons (looking at you, L85), but if you exclusively hand it out to people who you are absolutely certain know their shit, it's simply a more rugged feature that also doubles as a forwards assist. Overall, the SCAR is made with ruggedness, reliability and mechanical simplicity in the front-seat, and stuff like user-friendliness a bit further back.
The argument for H over G28 is somewhat fading, at least in the marksman role, but I think it's still a very, very solid choice for the task of compact battle rifle.
I believe they did consider 7.62x51 NATO, but they found the weapons for it to be too heavy/cumbersome. Don't know what they tested exactly, though.
FN is probably submitting a few SCAR variants as part of the Next Generation Squad Weapon program for the Army which is basically IAR + LSAT. One of the Army's procurement leads was seen at FN's facility recently testing a HAMR, which was the SCAR variant designed for the Marines' IAR program. Speaking of which, Congress is withholding the Marines' M27 funds in order to see how NGSW plays out.

Seeing as FN already makes a lot of small arms for the Army such as the M4/M16/M249/Mk48/M240/M2, they definitely have the manufacturing base and connections to make it happen. The big question is that the NGSW is supposed to incorporate a new type of round and its unknown what FN is going to use yet. Textron is submitting something using their 6.5mm CT ammo they developed for the LSAT program.
One more leg up the SCAR got on other rifles, it matches on fleek with uggs.

Fuck that god damn boat-F2000. I drew that way fucking back, when OPERATORchan was a thing and I was a right-wing cunt
The rest of the picture isn't mine (Credit to whoever came up with deagulls), but that F2000 brings me back.

Oh man, Congress knows fuck all about firearms. I really do not trust them to do our shopping for us. If the Marines want the M27, they should deny or or approve it, but don't override it and end up with something more expensive and less reliable because the bean counters thought it looked good.
What caliber is that and why is it EXPLODIN
