The Rasheed is an Egyptian semi-automatic carbine developed in 1966, scaling down the larger Hakim rifle. It utilizes a direct gas impingement system with a tilting bolt, similar to the SKS and FAL. While it has a 10-round detachable magazine, it was designed for stripper clip reloads and features an SKS-style folding bayonet and charging handle. Approximately 7,364 were produced between 1966 and 1968.

The Egyptian Hakim, a derivative of the Swedish AG-42 Ljungman, is a semi-automatic rifle chambered in 8x57mm Mauser. It features an adjustable gas system to accommodate varying ammunition quality and a distinctive integral muzzle brake that significantly reduces recoil. Despite its vintage design and a potentially dangerous loading procedure ('Hakim thumb'), the rifle demonstrates impressive accuracy at ranges up to 600 yards.
