The CZ 805 BREN is a gas-operated modular assault rifle designed and manufactured by Česká zbrojovka Uherský Brod.[1] The modular design 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.[2]
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, CZ BREN 2 BR, CZ BREN 2 PPS and in 2024 CZ BREN 3.
The CZ 805 BREN is used by various police and military forces, including in the Czech Republic, Indonesia, and Mexico.
