The Czech Unicorn LMG: A Squad Support CZ-2000 (ad-free full version)
Added 2022-08-27 12:01:01 +0000 UTCThe CZ-2000 project in the Czech Republic (derived from the Lada developed in the late years of Czechoslovakia) envisioned a full suite of infantry arms, much like the AK as used by other countries. There would be an SMG-type compact weapon (akin to the AKS-74U "Krinkov"), a standard infantry rifle, and a light support weapon. It's that last one that we are looking at today, with a longer barrel and bipod.
Surviving examples of CZ-2000s are extremely rare today, as the system never went into production and only early trials examples and prototypes were made.
Many thanks to CZ for letting me take a look at the excellent historical artifact from their archives! See all their social media here: https://www.instagram.com/czguns/

2022-08-28 05:40:29 +0000 UTCIt's probably the drum magazine that violated their pointless rule of maximum 20 bullets per magazine…

2022-08-27 21:56:07 +0000 UTCIdk know where I read/heard it, but it was said/suggested to add a few more winds to the spring about midway to ensure reliable feeding. Ive always done that on my AK drum and dont recall ever having feeding issues.
2022-08-27 16:57:26 +0000 UTCSuper cool LMG. Maybe they should develop a beta mag setup, it seems to work with the AR style rifles and if I am not mistaken the Germans developed some for their LMGs in WW1 and WW2, the MG15 comes to mind.

2022-08-27 16:34:41 +0000 UTCIs that another bipod/bayonet mount under the gas block?
2022-08-27 16:03:02 +0000 UTCWTF with Youtube? No shooting now?

2022-08-27 15:46:49 +0000 UTCthat rear sight seems real great. if one ever would have the time to dial in distance that is kind of fast and easy yet where a rear sight SHOULD be and peep not some notch.... too bad that drum doesn't worak so well.

2022-08-27 15:07:23 +0000 UTCIssues with too light a spring rather than the drum itself.

2022-08-27 15:02:26 +0000 UTCIt great that the folks at CZ let you take all these fairly rare guns out and shoot them. Tell them thanks from all of us.

2022-08-27 14:59:32 +0000 UTCThis video kinda shows why Brits loved shooting the L86 (yes I know about the reliability and barrel heat problems)
