As a true multi-caliber assault rifle, the CZ BREN 3 delivers exceptional modularity, outstanding precision, and extreme durability, making it a leading choice for modern warfare and 21st-century security operations.
Building on the success of its predecessors, this latest model introduces significant enhancements in ergonomics, adaptability, and performance under diverse combat conditions. The CZ BREN 3 is engineered to operate flawlessly in extreme environments—from arid deserts to freezing arctic climates—ensuring reliability when it matters most.
Currently in active service with the Czech Army and elite international units—including the French GIGN anti-terrorist group, the Mexican Federal Police, the Portuguese Air Force, and the Hungarian Armed Forces—the CZ BREN 3 has earned a solid reputation as one of the most advanced and dependable battle rifles in the world. With a proven track record and next-generation features, it stands ready to meet the evolving demands of global military and law enforcement missions.
Proven in the Field: A Weapon of Choice for Elite Units
From counter-terrorism missions to conventional warfare, the CZ BREN 3 has been engineered to meet the diverse needs of modern combat environments. Every variant has undergone rigorous NATO AC/225 D/14 testing, proving its ability to withstand extreme operational conditions:
- High and low temperatures
- Saltwater exposure for maritime operations
- Sand, mud, and dust resistance for desert or jungle missions
This makes it a dependable partner for soldiers and special operators who need a weapon that performs flawlessly under the harshest circumstances.
Development Based on Real Combat Feedback
The CZ BREN 3’s design is the result of extensive operator feedback from military, police, and special forces already using earlier generations of the BREN.
As Jan Zajic, CEO and Chairman of CZ, explains, the rifle focuses on sophisticated ergonomics, better handling, and superior shooting comfort—all critical factors for high-intensity operations. These refinements ensure that the CZ BREN 3 is not just an upgrade but a complete evolution of the platform, built to dominate the select-fire rifle category.
Multi-Caliber Flexibility for Operational Versatility
One of the defining characteristics of the CZ BREN 3 is its multi-caliber capability, which allows it to adapt to a variety of mission profiles.
- 5.56 × 45 NATO – Available with 7″, 11″, 14.5″, and 16.5″ barrels
- 300 AAC Blackout – Available with 7″ and 9″ barrels
The barrels are cold hammer forged for superior precision and chrome-lined for maximum lifespan, even after extended use in challenging environments. The three-position gas port regulator allows for optimized performance in different conditions—ideal for suppressed firing or when dealing with heavy fouling. This ensures consistent cycling and reduced wear, even during sustained automatic fire.
Ergonomics and Ambidextrous Operation
The CZ BREN 3 was designed with a clear focus on user comfort and control, making it suitable for both right- and left-handed shooters. Key ergonomic features include:
- Fully ambidextrous AR-style controls
- 45° fire selector for quick mode changes between safe, semi-auto, and full-auto
- Dual magazine release and bolt catch/release (accessible from both sides and inside the trigger guard)
- Non-reciprocating charging handles on both sides—one fixed, one folding, both interchangeable
These enhancements ensure rapid manipulation in high-stress environments, reducing transition times and improving combat readiness.
Stock and Forend Options for Maximum Modularity
The CZ BREN 3 offers multiple stock configurations to meet mission demands:
- Standard four-position telescopic folding stock (high-strength polymer)
- PDW-style four-position telescopic stock for compact, close-quarter use
The rifle’s extended forend is easily replaceable and crafted from durable aluminum alloy, available in:
- M-LOK configuration for mounting optics, grips, flashlights, and lasers
- STANAG 4694 rail for NATO-compatible accessories
- Suppressor-Ready forend with extra space for mounted silencers
With seven QD sling attachment points, operators can configure their carry style for optimal comfort and quick weapon deployment.

Every component of the CZ BREN 3 is designed for combat efficiency:
- Cold hammer forged barrels for consistent accuracy
- Chrome-lined bore for extended durability
