ČZ 2000
The ČZ 2000 is a prototype 5.56 mm caliber Czech weapon system, consisting of a standard rifle, carbine and light machine gun.
In 1977, the Brno General Machine-Building Plants R&D Center began a program to create a new rifle under the name Lada S.
J. Denel from the Brno-based Prototypa-ZM company was the chief designer for both systems.
A design was approved in 1984 that fired the smaller 5.45×39mm cartridge and could fill three roles: a subcarbine with a 185 mm (7.3 in) barrel; a rifle with a 382 mm (15.0 in) barrel; and a light support weapon with a 577 mm (22.7 in) barrel.
They followed the variant family of AK-74 rifles and mostly took after their designs except for differences in the receiver cover, sights, and safety selector.
The weapons were built by late 1985, tested starting in 1986, and was approved for production in November 1989.
Shortly after that time, however, the Cold War was ending and Czechoslovakia's communist party had stepped down following the Velvet Revolution.
300,000 Lada systems were planned, but by the time it was declared fit for production in February 1990, the Army had no funds.
