CZ's "Beautiful" PDW: A Sadly Unfinished Project
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 бер 2024
- In this episode of TFBTV, @JamesReeves is at CZ headquarters to talk about the CZ "Beautiful" PDW. The "Beautiful" is a secret CZ project that was never finished and never revealed to the public - until today. The "Beautiful" was given this nickname probably because it is aesthetically hideous, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and James and Karl both think the "Beautiful" is one gorgeous PDW. Will this ever be finished and released? Probably not, but at least we get to share it with you.

Here’s Karl’s version of the video!
ua-cam.com/video/agsG-17Lsyk/v-deo.html
WOW!
When will they get here and how much? 😎 The new CZ-25 PDW.
We'll expect a video from you test firing a production model and match it with a Bond Bullpup 9 pistol. Both rear extraction magazines.
Czechnology will prevail over your skepticism.
This thing was designed for the 300 Blackout it just didn't know it yet
That's exactly what I was thinking.
Came here for this comment
Yep
❤
🎅🎅💥
This is an idksterling joke, right?
You mean to say Ian McCullum hasn't got his hands on this yet?!?! Jeez he's gunna be PISSED!
Was James holding that to the vest, or were they joking about it over proper Czech Pils?
Guaranteed he's seen this. Just hadn't released a video on it ...
@@2Skinny haha was being very tongue in cheek. You may well be right.
He had a series where he was at their factory. He just didn't have time to film more than the 5-10 he did.
@@Merril_39it must have been the hardest choices to decide what to leave behind
Please somebody resurrect this project
There will be a Turkish copy in no time.
They pilfer from _everybody!_
Although, it will be total garbage IMHO.
Stay classy my friends.
@@BertShacklefordI would buy it
Send it to PSA
Hoping PSA enters the chat for this one lol
@@Xzone256based. I could see some parts being dropped on. :)
Please make it in 300 blk. Don’t change anything else. That is the coolest gun I have seen in a long time
8:08 James: so what is this PDW
Karl: it's a fuckin' right side up PKM!
The stock folding to become a foregrip is genius! How is that not a thing on all pdws?!
It has been done several times before
Mini uzi.
Steyr now b&t mp9 it is called i think
Doesn't the MP5K and MP5 PDW do this too?
@@veisslie_4880maybe some Zenith clone does. But the original had a vertical grip and the folded stock wasn’t long enough for this.
Coming to the PSA booth 2025….
And never actually going into production like the mp5
They released a Krink which is better in my opinion than mp5
@@sanangelo7926stay mad lol
@@sanangelo7926Fuck that MP5 you already got clones for sale on the market
Somebody should make it... if they could be able to keep the price down, it would sell!!
So CZ made a Rattler in 7.62x39 over three decades ago.
Big CZ fan here. What a cool gun. Wouldn't it be nice if they pulled that out and brought it up to 21st century standards... one can dream.
They would probably mess it up like they did with the scorpion
No. Not at all. Who wants a 556 with no barrel?😂
@@wildcat8598 change it to 300blk, problem solved
@wildcat8598 Just make it in 300blk, pretty obvious.
@@fearlessleader8623What's the problem with the Scorpion?
Cooler than anything I saw you cover from IWA and/or EnforceTac
Basically an upside down SBRed mag fed PKM, nice!
James giggling like a school girl at the fire selector made my day.
Police Commissioner Gordon' "Turn on the Ian Signal!"
Nananananananana....
"I have 5 boxes of french .32 Longue, will trade for 9mm para-..... he's right behind me, isn't he....."
They should consider opening up this project again. Make it 300 blk, integral silencer and its good to go.
Q has entered the chat*
Bro, that is a straight up W40K Bolter. I fucking need one. For the Emperor. And.....reasons.
Not alone Id say they adopted this for export to Mars in the secret space force program
Would be even more interesting if I could see it actually being fired and see its accuracy and ballistics.
Looks like a Boltpistol from Warhammer
Love that the folding stock acts as a vertical grip when folded.
What a cool and novel way to get a shorter receiver and OAL. Like others have said, it would be really cool to see that concept return as 300 blackout.
I really wish Crye would do something with their PDW patent. 300 blackout, especially a dedicated subsonic 1:5 PDW like that, has so much potential.
Need Ian on this ASAP
This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen, and it's named appropriately.
That bolt carrier is basically a PK bolt group, just without the need to cycle a belt feed.
With a barrel that short, I think the obvious caliber choices are 7.62x39mm and .300 BLK, guven both of those are way more forgiving of super short barrels than 5.56x45mm or 5.45x39mm.
James, when You finally come visit us in Poland!?
The end of the stock doubling as a vertical forgrip when folded is genius. I don't know how I've never noticed that on a weapon before.
My thought as well. Still watching so I haven’t seen yet whether or not it locks in that position.
Czechoslovakian did
I love how compact it is. A very chunky futuristic "pistol" of sorts.
The fact this wasn't introduced with "Hi! I'm Ian McCollum..."
CZ still has this example in their headquarters though. Technically, it's "Remembered Weapons"
@@CarolinaRimfire Ian just posted a video about a real-life HALO M90 shotgun. We're way past "forgotten" and well into "the future is now, old man".
@@rafaelqueiroga8084 lol!!! Ian is the best
That's the best possible name ever, it's stunningly beautiful
James with the schoolgirl laugh, filled with glee that he beat Ian to this gun.
This is a really interesting set up ideas. I have to admit if this were a 300blk gun that could be sold as a pistol I think that would do well in the USA.
Finally content from the second best country in the world! 😊 Thank you James! 👍
The round extraction and insertion into the barrel reminds me of the Boberg/Bond Arms 9 Bullpup pistol
I definitely want one, I love CZ
That thing has got to be a fire breathing dragon.
As a owner of several CZ handguns, hopefully an owner of a CZ rifle someday. I think a Czechoslovakian channel for TFB TV is so cool. when I think of Czech people, I feel like they are bros of us Americans. They are more like us than any other country. They look like some badass dudes from Texas. They got that backwoods badass swagger and I love Czech weapons ❤🔥
Lol….that’s on point. Czechoslovakia is the Texas of Europe!
Ian (forgotten weapons) was punching the air when he saw this video. Awesome VZ CZ has made some iconic designs.
Best video of 2024 so far! this is awesome! 🙌🏻
this is the content i subscribe for
I have the VZ 61 .32 ACP and the Scorpion evo 3 9 mm. Both are fabulous !!!
Bring this to life in production!! Please!!!!
This is one of the most interesting designs I've seen in a long time! VZ-58, AK-47 and PKM love child! "The pleasure's all on this side of the table" - Office Space reference?
Great stuff, thank you.
Never saw James geeking out this hard before 😮
Forgotten Weapons NEEDS to do a video on this ASAP! In depth background and history needed!
Personally, I think being able to see this unknown piece of history on UA-cam is beautiful.
That thing is awesome
Some genuinely clever ideas going on in that thing...pretty cool. Rare to see something make that much "sense".
This is really cool! I hope CZ brings out an updated version into production one day.
That's so freakin' cool how the stock doubles as a grip when it's folded up.
Czech 90's dissent, cool!
That was super cool! Bring that thing to market!
Nice looking piece.
That's awesome!!!!! They need to bring it back/ go back to working on it
It's shocking that details on this were lost. This is a Cz prototype weapon still in possession by the Cz company.
It has a PKM extractor?!? Precise machining on it is also creasy...LOVE IT!!!
Amazing!
absolutely love it
This is an absolute Gem to see, the CZ "Beautiful" maybe one day we can see the cz 2000 series on rifles on review🤔
This is probably the most “ahead of its time” firearm I’ve ever seen. That’s so cool.
Why?
The bolt and carrier look a bit like a shrunken version of the BCG from the STG44.
Why do I love this.
I don't remember where I first found this gun, but I've known about it for years and it's just been a lingering presence in the back of my mind that nobody seemed to want to talk about until now
Reminds me of the PDW in Soldier of Fortune. Very cool!
Tahle zbraň je prostě Krása!😊
the transparent polymer is so dope 😆
Very cool.
Pretty neat little gun. No clue if it runs or not, but still a very unique design.
This but in 300 BO...
@KelTec get on it please
That is awesome.
I thought the Boberg/Bullpup9 feeding system is unique, guess not then. Super interesting, it’s a shame there isn’t firing footage.
the N markings may indicate a locked bolt/no-gas fire combination of settings perhaps for silenced single shot manual action.
Gonna have to disagree here: looks beautiful to me. Especially like the position of the handle on the stock when it's folded.
I think so too. Its a brutalist, futuristic design, and i think it would sell amazingly in 300blk
That’s a blaster that’d be pretty neat to have
The claw that pulls the rounds out of the magazine reminds me of a PKM.
From the way the action is described and it's hinging oprod, it's taking a lot of cues from the PKM as well as the AK.
The CZ ARPK
Yo that selector position is actually really smart... index right onto it then drop your finger down engaging it going straight onto the trigger.
I love it.
Honestly I like it, I would be interesting in purchasing it, If to CZ is to go through manufacturing something similar, but only if the price is low enough for a poor to afford. Puts me in mind of a scorpion, but with larger caliber. That would be a perfect 300B.O. host
3:14 reminds me somewhat of the PK machinegun
that extractor claw on the bcg looks very similar to a pkm. it's a bit like a mini upside down pkm on the inside
Damn, Jim…you guys get looks at stuff no one else does. Well done. 👍🏻
My first gun purchase was a CZ P10-C. I know its just a basic handgun but it definitely holds a special spot in my heart. I almost sold it to purchase a G43x but im glad I kept it.
I've been told I have Czech blood in me so its a pride thing now hahaha!
cz had a "Rattler Prototype" that is nuts imagine a 300blk version i'd buy a CZ 300 "Thunder" in a heartbeat
That thing looks awesome I'd buy it
Fascinating………..💎👽
Cool!
I wonder if N on the selector and gas port are in tandem for single shots when suppressed, just speculating.
That is a Very Cool looking Gun!
That would be my factory of choice to tour! Lucky bugger!
Thats awesome
That thing is SICK!!!
What in the world??? Dang a crazy 90’s gun!
Cool gun sir 😎
Well, i give it a 10 for looks and design. I am curious how reliable that action is. Maybe that's why they never made it? I wish you were able to shoot it. I want to see it in action in slo mo.
James recently said there's something big coming this year from CZ. I wonder if this is being updated and released. BTW, the N on the selector stands for nuclear.
This is dope
That thing is AESTHETIC
I can hear gun Jesus breathing heavily in the distance....
James hit us with that tucker carlson laugh in ybe beginning
0, 1 and N as the symbols on the selector is brilliant. Makes perfect sense to mathematicians and physicists!
(N is conventionally used as the symbol when you want to say "up to any number of your choosing")
Would be great in 300blk.
