The ČZ 2000 is a prototype 5.56 mm caliber Czech weapon system consisting of a standard rifle carbine and light machine gun. The system was developed in 1991 after adapting the LADA firearm prototype (chambered for the 5.45x39mm M74 cartridge to the standard NATO 5.56x45mm round with the SS109 bullet.) J. Denel from the Brno-based Prototypa-ZM company is the chief designer for both systems.
