Description
The CZ BREN 2 is a modular assault rifle that improves upon the original CZ 805 BREN design based on the experience of users .
The rifle can be chambered in either 5.56×45mm NATO or 7.62×39mm cartridge. Switching the caliber of the rifle can be done by swapping out the barrel and mag well. CZ offers three different barrel lengths for the two calibers, ranging from 207 mm (8 in) for the 5.56×45mm and 227 mm (9 in) for the 7.62×39mm, 280 mm (11 in), and 357 mm (14 in). It features a fully ambidextrous fire selector, magazine release, bolt release and charging handle. It has a simplified trigger system with three positions for “safe”, “semi-auto” and “full-auto”. The cyclic rate of fire is around 850 (±100) rounds per minute. The “2-round burst” firing mode of the CZ 805 BREN was abandoned. Disassembly and assembly for routine maintenance can be carried out without the need for any tools. The rifle has a lower weight. The materials that are used to build the rifle are non-combustible as well as being resistant to impacts and mechanical damage.
The CZ BREN 2 was introduced in 2019. It is a semi-automatic only variant of the CZ BREN 2, intended for the civilian market and has essentially replaced the CZ 805 BREN S1.
