can’t wait for part 2
805 overall is very unreliable both version 1 and 2. Most of the version 1 were fitted with adjustable stock before version 2 came to being. Version 2 flash hider caused a lot of hearing damage and were removed and version 1 put back on. And Meopta ZD-Dot is certainly not durable and looses zero easily. Fortunatelly most problems were fixed with 806 which is very reliable, light and now issued with Aimpoint Comp M4.
The Brazilian Imbel IA2, looks like this rifle.
.
Didn’t the Egyptian Army adopt this rifle (or a slightly modified version of it) as its new standard issue service rifle in preference to the Beretta ARX-160?
After handling and shooting one at army range, I still prefer vz58 (with some modern attachments).
They are nice looking lego rifles.
cz 805 bren S1 i mean
My Bren 805 S1 is still my favorite rifle. Favorite to shoot also. Shoots so smooth. It’s like shooting a 20 inch AR. Being an AK guy the reciprocating charging handle is normal to me. Same with having no bolt release. All pretty easy to do being left handed. I noticed the rifle was set up for a lefty. Charging handle and cheek piece. At least the second generation was.
Can you please shoot them
Smooth like butter bolt !
It looks like a submachine gun
Love the 805!
I was wondering why the BREN moniker. Any connection to the city of Brno, or the old company that designed the ZB LMGs that were the basis of the Bren? Note that Slovakia was part of what was Czechoslovakia, so it’d make sense they’d equip their army with these.
This gun will be marked in history as a weapon of the foreign legion in the Ukraine war. I see Brens in almost all videos of volunteers in Ukraine.
Aluminum is light enough to make an entire upper receiver but if the barrel and gas system are free floating there’s no need to keep it full metal all the way to the muzzle. I’d keep the structure of the rail and the charging handle and under that structure you can easily attach a polymer handguard. The question is how durable that would be and how much weight different that would make. I don’t know but G36s handguards works well enough and there’s no structure holding it at all more than one and a half pin.
Of course I consider that there might be some accuracy issues but worth to try I guess
Fantastic firearm. Its just beautiful from an engineering point of view. I would almost say it looks as if a german had designed it. It’s just this thoughtthroughness, satisfying perfection and overengineering that makes you say: that must be a german design.
I think this is a pretty effective assault rifle for the Royal Army… yes, the L85s are terrible, I don’t see how the British could design a self-propelled rifle. Such poor performance, while the other weapons for their armed forces are quite amazing?! The Czechs adopted the Soviet Kalashnikov and tweaked it more or less, at least they have a lighter Vz58 than the AK47, and its descendant is the Cz805 Bren with a NATO caliber trusted by special forces. Perhaps the British soldiers liked it very much, for the price, it was cheaper than the M416 or the FN SCAR.
Is it not a bit weird that the marking are all in English? They do have their own language there!
for some reason, AUG mags kinda work in the proprietary magwell
The Bren 2 is absolutely a better weapon last round bolt hold open light weight better charging handle no doubt better but the 805 is GD sexy!🤯🔫💘
Looks like a scar？
the trigger mechanism was not explain
sir will you take a look at cz bren s1 and compare there fire conrol group
Is it just me, or is that rear sight mounted backwards? Probably doesn’t matter, but usually the concave side is toward the shooter, with the flat side forward. At least on other guns. Maybe CZ knows better than everyone else, I dunno.
Small detail, that’s otherwise unnoticed.
So many czech/check puns to be made here…
"Soviet block countries should use this rifle, before Russia invades them"
Wellcome at my HOME ! 😀 Soo nice to see this video. THX!
What a time to be there isn’t it
Great Video. At 8:23, would you please put me in touch with those military folks, I have something for them to consider.

How exactly are our armed forces "post-communist" in 2022, 23 years after entering NATO…?
2 years ago I was sent to fight narco cartels in the jungle of Jalisco in Mexico, while most Marines had the SigSauer 516 or Galil ACE 53, I was assigned a Bren 805. It was heavy and the safety selector was in akward position, but a good gun in general, the problem were the magazines wich performed poorly, 2 of them broke and the rest all the time were kind of Wobbling in the gun, giving me the feeling they would fall in any moment.
Those iron sights look suspiciously like Troy’s without any of the markings to indicate as such….
This is so cool. Thanks to CZ for inviting you, and you for being willing.
Starter gun from CALLofDUTY Ghosts
I belive bren 1 gen accept g36 mag.
has it really been so long :'(
So, um… The CZ Bren 2 looks like an ACR.
ian is the only merican who at least tries his best to pronounce non english words correctly
Would like to see the rwst per inch per Bernal length
Actually for the grip backstrap, a larger one was offered. I bought one from Numrich. It makes the grip feel so awesome. I also prefer the Gen 1 mag release. I know it’s not M4 style, but with the design of the Gen 2 button, if you sling it over your shoulder and go for a hike, it will repeatedly drop the mag in the mud. This mostly happens when going downhill, when the weight of the gun works against the button. Once switching it over to the G36 style mag, problem solved.

Hai Sir Ian …can you review of how the CZ 805 bren trigger works
It stinks that the rifle has so many downsides. I think it’s one of the coolest looking rifles out there. I don’t care for the aesthetics of the Bren 2, especially the longer barrel versions.
I am no firearms expert, yet I am very impressed by my CZ Bren 2 in 7.62×39 mm in the 14.5” barrel. It does stovepipe casings though (about 1 or 2 per 100 rounds), which I suspect is due to the speed the bolt moves.
Hello, I would like to give some information regarding the CZ BREN 805 A2 assault rifle that is seen in the export market.
Since 2019, Cambodia has received shipments of CZ products that are currently in service with the Cambodian National Police (CNP) and Gendarmerie Royale Khmère (GRK).
After watching your video, I have examined the CZ 805 BREN A2s in service with the CNP, where I have noticed that all of them are Generation 1 upper receivers attached to Generation 2 Lowe receivers.
For pictures, please contact me privately.
Czechia is one of the last bastions of freedom, individualism, and true sense of European pride (not = white supremacy) left in Europe. This is reflected by the level of ingenuity put into their firearms. Most Americans might be less familiar w Czech designs than Germany or Italy, but their rich history of defense mfg has been internationally-acclaimed or centuries.
Shout-out to the homies in Poland, Slovenia, Slovakia, and, never thought I would say this, France for not pussifying yourselves like the British.
Iam 20 year old czech and from time to time i go to a shooting range with my father to do a little competition. I once randomly found Ians videos and started to watch them. We got it in our veins hahahah
Honestly, I just came here because I saw this in COD Ghosts.
