The Spanish Army's deployments abroad are a common opportunity to test the weapons of allied armies.<\/p>\n

\nHK416, the excellent German rifle that could replace the G36E in the Spanish Army<\/a><\/rel><\/p>\n

This is the case of the Spanish contingent deployed in Slovakia, in which Spanish soldiers from the Parachute Brigade \"Almog\u00e1vares\" VI (BRIPAC) share a brigade with soldiers from the Czech Army<\/strong>, having the opportunity to test their light weapons.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Yesterday, NATO Multinational Battlegroup in Slovakia published a series of photos<\/a> showing a joint shooting exercise between Czech and Spanish soldiers, exchanging weapons<\/strong>. You can see the photos of that exercise here.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

During the exercise, Spanish soldiers were able to test the new CZ P-10C pistols of the Czech Army<\/strong>. This is a weapon selected in 2020. Inspired by the Glock 19, its purpose is to replace the CZ 75 SP-01 Phantom pistols.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The P-10C is a very lightweight pistol in 9x19mm Parabellum<\/strong>, although it is also available in .40 S&W. It is made of polymer and fiberglass. The Parabellum version has a 15-round magazine and weighs only 740 grams.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In addition to the aforementioned pistol, Spanish soldiers were also able to test the new Czech CZ 805 BREN 2 assault rifle<\/strong>, introduced in 2020 to replace the aging CZ 805 BREN. The BREN 2 is chambered in 5.56 \u00d7 45 mm NATO and has a 277 mm long barrel. It is also available in 7.62 \u00d7 39 mm caliber. It is a modular weapon, and the barrel can be changed<\/strong> to a shorter 207 mm one. It has a magazine of 30 rounds.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The BREN 2 is very well regarded.<\/strong> It is a lighter rifle than its predecessor and, like the Polish MSBS Grot rifle<\/a>, it is an ambidextrous weapon,<\/strong> so that the rate of fire selector, bolt catch, charging handle and magazine catch are usable by right- and left-handed soldiers with either hand. In June 2024, \u010cesk\u00e1 Zbrojovka Uhersk\u00fd Brod (CZ) launched the BREN 3 on the market<\/a>, which includes improvements compared to its predecessor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
