The Rasheed (or sometimes known as the Rashid[1]) is a semi-automatic carbine, derived from the Hakim rifle and used by the Egyptian military. Only around 8,000 were made.[2]
The Rasheed was designed by the Swedish engineer Erik Eklund,[2] who based it on his previous Hakim rifle, which was itself a slightly modified version of the Swedish Ag m/42 rifle. The Rasheed was scaled down to accept much less powerful 7,62×39 Soviet ammunition.[3][4]
Design
The carbine resembles the Soviet SKS carbine, particularly in the permanently attached pivoting-blade bayonet, which appears identical to its Russian counterpart. The 12-inch (305 mm) blade bayonet pivots from a mount under the barrel, back into a recessed groove in the forend stock.
The carbine features a rear ladder sight, with a "battle" position for short-range fire as well as increments of 100 to 1000 metres, although the latter distance greatly exceeds the 300-metre effective range of the weapon.
The semi-automatic mechanism is gas-operated through the direct impingement system.[2] The Egyptian training manual had users use stripper clips to reload. However, the hot gas would heat up the receiver and cause burns when fingers would touch the receiver.[5]
The Rasheed has a 10-round magazine capacity.[2]
Variants
Baghdad Rifle
The Baghdad is a variant of the Rasheed, made from the same machinery from 1969 to 1977.[6]
