You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Hakim Rifle''' is a gas operated [[semi-automatic rifle]].  It was originally designed by Sweden and produced as the [[Ag m/42]] for the [[Swedish Army]].  The tooling and design were later sold to Egypt, and the Hakim was produced there during the 1950s and early 1960s. It was replaced in the mid-1960s by the Maadi [[AK-47]] (a licensed copy of the Soviet rifle) but was stored in military reserve arsenals. In more recent years, it has been observed in use by some Egyptian police units. Around 70,000 were made.<ref>((Cite web|url=http://world.guns.ru/rifle/autoloading-rifles/eg/hakim-e.html|title = Hakim|date = 28 October 2010|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20191019141741/https://modernfirearms.net/en/military-rifles/self-loading-rifles/egypt-self-loading-rifles/hakim-eng/|archive-date=October 19, 2019))</ref>

A shortened [[carbine]] version of this rifle called the [[Rasheed Carbine]] was manufactured in limited numbers in Egypt using the smaller [[7.62x39mm]] cartridge.

Due to its age, the Hakim is designated as a [[Federal Firearms License#Collectors of Curio and Relic (C&R) Firearms|Curio and Relic firearm]] by the United States [[Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives]].

== History ==
"The Hakim," an Arabic term signifying "judge, ruler, or governor," refers to an enhanced Egyptian iteration of the Swedish Ljungman rifle, also known as the [[Automatgevär m/42]]. After the [[1952 Egyptian Revolution]], General [[Gamal Abdel Nasser|Gamal Abdul Nasser]] initiated a campaign to modernize the [[Egyptian Armed Forces|Egyptian military]]. This involved procuring manufacturing equipment and initial technical support from Sweden to construct an Egyptian variant of the Ljungman AG-42. This marked the inception of Egypt's domestic [[Firearm|small-arms]] industry.<ref>((Cite web |last=Bodinson |first=Holt |date=2017-06-06 |title=The Strange Egyptian Hakim |url=https://gunsmagazine.com/our-experts/surplus-classic/the-strange-egyptian-hakim/ |access-date=2023-07-04 |website=GUNS Magazine|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20230704141508/https://gunsmagazine.com/our-experts/surplus-classic/the-strange-egyptian-hakim/|archive-date=July 4, 2023))</ref>

A total of around 70,000 rifles would be produced.<ref>((Cite web |title=Hakim & Rasheed Rifles: Egypt’s Best?|url=https://www.pewpewtactical.com/hakim-rasheed-review/|access-date=2023-08-30 |website=pewpewtactical.com|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20221204074700/https://www.pewpewtactical.com/hakim-rasheed-review/|archive-date=December 4, 2022))</ref>

==Design==
Egypt introduced an adjustable gas operated system, whereas the Ag m/42 had been non-adjustable. The Hakim system is adjustable by use of a special tool and is a simple, [[direct impingement]] type whereby the flow of gas impacts directly on the front face of the bolt carrier, propelling it to the rear, which unlocks and moves the bolt as it does so. The Hakim features a Tokarev-pattern tipping bolt system as used in the [[FN Model 1949|FN-49]], [[SKS]] and [[MAS-49 rifle|MAS-49]] rifles.

While the Ag m/42 fired the [[6.5×55mm]] cartridge, Egypt owned large stockpiles of [[7.92×57mm Mauser|8×57mm]] Mauser ammunition, much of it left behind from World War II. To take advantage of the large stockpile, the Hakim was further re-engineered to accept the larger cartridge, which also necessitated the addition of a permanent, non removable [[muzzle brake]] to help reduce the concurrent greater recoil.<ref name="walter">((cite book|last=Walter|first=John|title=Rifles of the World|edition=3rd|date=March 25, 2006|publisher=Krause Publications|isbn=978-0896892415))</ref> Some internet sites have incorrectly referred to this as a flash suppressor; the two are distinctly different features that serve entirely different functions: a muzzle brake is designed to reduce recoil (thereby reducing stress on the operator, as well as wear on the rifle itself), whereas a flash suppressor is designed to reduce the bright muzzle flash so that it does not blind the operator when firing in dark conditions.

The Hakim features a 10-round magazine intended to be loaded from the top breech with 5-round stripper clips.
