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 WALAM 48 is a Hungarian FEG-produced pistol, a notable copy of the Walther PP, originally developed for the Hungarian police. A significant variant was produced for Egypt under Nasser in 1957, chambered in .380 ACP and featuring Egyptian crest markings. While sharing magazine compatibility with the Walther PP, the WALAM 48 has distinct features like a solid hammer and a unique loaded chamber indicator.

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.
