History

ZH-29 was a semi-automatic battle rifle of Czechoslovakian origin, one of the first successful guns of its kind. It was designed by Emmanuel Holek in late 1920s and manufactured by Ceska Zbroevka in Brno ("ZH" means "Zbroevka Holek") on request of the Chinese military. ZH-29 was produced in 1929-1938; the total is unknown. Except China, ZH-29 and its slightly improved version ZH-32 were used in small numbers by some states, notably Ethiopia (where it was issued to Imperial Guard), Turkey, Romania and Greece. A version chambered in .276 Pedersen was tested in USA but lost the trials to Pedersen and Garand rifles.
