This video provides a detailed analysis of the Egyptian Hakim service rifle, a licensed production of the Swedish Ljungman AG-42. It highlights key modifications made by Egypt, including changes to grasping grooves, a removable muzzle brake, an adjustable gas system, and the absence of a cleaning rod. The description debunks the common assertion of the Hakim's widespread use in the 1956 Suez Crisis, suggesting limited production numbers at the time and a greater reliance on Soviet SKS and Czech Vz.52 rifles. The video also touches upon the Hakim's presence in Yemen and Iraq, and its availability on the US surplus market. Production overlap with the Rasheed carbine is noted, with an estimated total manufacture between 70,000-80,000 units.
