The Rasheed (or sometimes known as the Rashid[1]) is a semi-automatic carbine, derived from the Hakim rifle and used by the Egyptian military.

[2] The Rasheed was designed by the Swedish engineer Erik Eklund,[2] who based it on his previous Hakim rifle, which was itself a slightly modified version of the Swedish Ag m/42 rifle.

The 12-inch (305 mm) blade bayonet pivots from a mount under the barrel, back into a recessed groove in the forend stock.

The carbine features a rear ladder sight, with a "battle" position for short-range fire as well as increments of 100 to 1000 metres, although the latter distance greatly exceeds the 300-metre effective range of the weapon.

[2] The Egyptian training manual had users use stripper clips to reload.
