The Praga I-23 was a belt-fed prototype light machine gun by Vaclav Holek, serving as a precursor to the ZB26. It featured a unique bottom-feeding belt system and a hybrid bolt mechanism. Despite its advanced design, military trials favored magazine-fed weapons, leading Holek to adapt the design into the successful ZB26.
