This video provides an overview of several post-World War II Egyptian rifles, showcasing their origins and development. It begins with Egypt's acquisition of Western and Communist bloc firearms, including FN49 and Czech vz52 rifles. The focus then shifts to indigenous designs: the Hakim rifle, a licensed derivative of the Swedish AG-42B Ljungman chambered in 8x57mm, and its smaller variant, the Rasheed (or Rashid), chambered in 7.62x39mm. Finally, the video touches upon Egypt's adoption of the AKM, manufactured with Soviet tooling. The presenter examines examples of all three rifle types.
