NOTE: This article is about the P-07 DUTY handgun in ArmA 2: ACR and its predecessor in ArmA: CWA. For the P07 handgun in ArmA 3, see P07 9 mm. |
The CZ 75 is a 9 mm handgun featured in both ArmA: Cold War Assault and ArmA 2.
ArmA: Cold War Assault[]

The CZ-75 is used by both the EFA and their Nogovan Partisan predecessors in ArmA: Cold War Assault.
Overview[]
The CZ-75 is a short-recoil operated, semi-automatic pistol with a fixed barrel that is chambered to fire the 9×19 mm round.
It can only load from 14-round magazines[CWACfgW 5], and can attain a fire rate of up to 600 rounds per minute[CWACfgW 6][Formula 1] with a muzzle velocity of 380 m/s.[CWACfgW 7]
For all intents and purposes, the CZ-75 is essentially a better version of the Soviet military's Tokarev TT-33 handgun. The CZ-75 has higher accuracy (0.007 rad versus the TT-33's 0.01 rad)[CWACfgW 2] and a larger magazine capacity of fourteen rounds rather than eight.[CWACfgW 1] The only drawback that the CZ-75 has is that it deals 25% less base damage per bullet (7 versus the latter's TT-33's 9 damage).[CWACfgA 1]
Ironsights[]

The CZ-75's utilises a fixed zeroing of 50 metres.[CWACfgW 8][CWACfgW 9] This cannot be manually adjusted.

14-round staggered-column magazine.
Its bullets have a spill radius of 0.05 metres upon impact.[CWACfgA 3]
Trivia[]
- Along with all other handguns, the CZ-75 was not actually included as part of the default set of weapons that could be used in Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis (the initial release name of Cold War Assault). It was only added with the Resistance expansion pack, whereupon it was set to be the standard sidearm of the EFA and their Partisan predecessors.[1]

ArmA 2[]
« | The compact pistols made by CZ excel in outstanding ergonomics, exceptional accuracy of fire and high magazine capacity. The CZ 75 D COMPACT pistol is a handgun in compliance with strict demands and requirements according to NATO specifications. Low weight and dimensions predispose the CZ 75 D COMPACT pistol for personal defence and long term carry. Armoury Description[2]
|
» |

The CZ 75 D COMPACT is used exclusively by Czech military forces in ArmA 2. It was added with the release of the Army of the Czech Republic DLC.
Overview[]
The CZ 75 returns in ArmA 2 where it now serves as a primary sidearm of Czech Army vehicle crewmen and specialist infantry.
Its fire rate remains unchanged at 600 RPM[A2CfgW 6][Formula 2] but its muzzle velocity has been slightly boosted by ~ 4% to 398 m/s.[A2CfgM 2] Magazine capacity-wise, the CZ 75 D COMPACT is restricted to feeding from only 10-round magazines.[A2CfgW 7]
Compared to the U.S. military's M9 and the Russian Army's Makarov, the CZ 75 D COMPACT is virtually identical when it comes to both stopping power[A2CfgA 1] and accuracy (all three pistols have the same dispersion value of 0.004 rad).[A2CfgW 1] The only difference with the CZ 75 D COMPACT is its magazine capacity; with a capacity of only ten rounds[A2CfgM 1], it occupies the gap between the Makarov (eight)[A2CfgM 3] and M9 (fifteen).[A2CfgM 4]
As a result, the CZ 75 D COMPACT's usefulness as a sidearm is somewhat lacking since the M9 - or even the G17 for that matter - have larger magazines, making them much better pistols to use in lieu of the CZ 75 D COMPACT. Having two more rounds per magazine than the Makarov makes the CZ 75 D COMPACT only just slightly better, but this isn't a positive that would justify picking the CZ 75 D COMPACT over other 9 mm pistols.
Variants[]
CZ 75 P-07 DUTY[]
« | The most modern service model designated as the CZ 75 P-07 DUTY featuring polymer frame and the new Omega trigger mechanism is formed by the popular and powerful compact versions stemming from the legendary CZ 75. The CZ 75 P-07 DUTY pistol in cal. 9mm Luger have just undergone tests achieving satisfactory results and was approved by the authorized test laboratory as to be conforming with the standards and use applied by the US Armed Forces. Armoury Description[2]
|
» |

The CZ 75 P-07 DUTY is the standard-issue sidearm of the Czech military. Unlike the CZ 75 D COMPACT, it is wielded by most soldiers and even some 601st SFG operatives.
In terms of performance, the CZ 75 P-07 DUTY is statistically identical to the M9 (fire rate of 600 RPM[A2CfgW 13][Formula 3], muzzle velocity of 398 m/s[A2CfgM 5]). This even extends to the types of magazines that can be loaded; it can only feed from the M9's 15-rounder magazines (loaded with either standard ball or subsonic 9 mm ammo), and is unable to load the CZ 75 D COMPACT's 10-round magazines or even the CZ 75 SP-01 PHANTOM's 18-rounder magazines.[A2CfgW 14]
Aside from its appearance, the sole difference with the CZ 75 P-07 DUTY is that it always has a flashlight module attached.[A2CfgW 15] This makes it a little more useful to bring along on missions that take place in low-light conditions, particularly if the user doesn't have access to night vision goggles.
CZ 75 SP-01 PHANTOM[]
« | The SP-01 PHANTOM is advanced successor of the legendary CZ 75, standard size duty and defence pistol. Thanks to its low weight achieved by the use of heavy-duty plastic is this handgun suitable for armed forces and similar service. Thanks to its unparalleled accuracy, unfailing reliability and high stability while shooting quick shots this handgun is getting more and more popular even among IPSC sport shooters. Adam Tyc, member of Česká zbrojovka a.s., Shooting Team achieved with this handgun at the IPSC shooting events (Production Division) title of the World Champion (2005, 2008), the European Champion (2007) and he is also winner of AustralAsian Games (2004, 2007). Armoury Description[2]
|
» |

The CZ 75 SP-01 PHANTOM specifically uses a polymer frame as opposed to steel. It has a slightly higher muzzle velocity of 400 m/s rather than 398 m/s[A2CfgM 8] but its fire rate and accuracy remains unchanged (600 RPM[A2CfgW 21][Formula 4]/0.004 rad[A2CfgW 16]).
Attachment options for the CZ 75 SP-01 PHANTOM vary depending on its configuration:
- The baseline PHANTOM pistol with no suppressor fitted has an IR laser pointer[A2CfgW 22]
- Suppressed PHANTOM pistols are fitted with a flashlight module[A2CfgW 23]
When it comes to types of magazines that can be loaded, the CZ 75 SP-01 PHANTOM can be fed with its proprietary 18-round magazines but also supports the M9's 15-round, the G17's 17-round, as well as the CZ 75 D COMPACT's 10-rounder magazines.[A2CfgW 24] Suppressed CZ 75 SP-01 PHANTOMs on the other hand, are limited to only two types of magazines (only those loaded with 9 mm subsonic ammunition, reducing its muzzle velocity to 320 m/s instead[A2CfgM 9]).[A2CfgW 25]
Thanks to all of these upsides, the CZ 75 SP-01 PHANTOM is essentially the best variant in the CZ 75 family. Not only does it have greater flexibility when it comes to ammo options, but it also has the highest muzzle velocity, a suppressed sub-variant, and the ability to toggle an IR laser to help the user aim at targets in low-light conditions.

The types of magazines that can be loaded into a CZ 75 depend on its configuration:
- The CZ 75 D COMPACT can only load 10-round magazines.[A2CfgW 7] These magazines can be shared with the CZ 75 SP-01 PHANTOM but are not interchangeable with the CZ 75 P-07 DUTY.
- CZ 75 P-07 DUTYs can load two types of magazines (15-round magazines shared with the M9).[A2CfgW 14] These magazines are fully interchangeable with the CZ 75 SP-01 PHANTOM but cannot be shared with the CZ 75 D COMPACT.
- The CZ 75 SP-01 PHANTOM has the ability to load six types magazines.[A2CfgW 24] Two of these magazines can be shared with the CZ 75 P-07 DUTY (the M9's 15-round magazines) but only one can be shared with the CZ 75 D COMPACT (its 10-rounder magazines).
- Suppressed CZ 75 SP-01 PHANTOMs are restricted to only two types of magazines.[A2CfgW 25] Only one of its magazines can be shared with the CZ 75 P-07 DUTY (the M9 SD's 15-round magazine).
Regardless of its capacity and whatever pistol it is interchangeable with, all CZ 75-compatible magazines occupy at least one secondary weapon inventory slot:[A2CfgM 12][A2CfgM 13][A2CfgM 14][A2CfgM 15][A2CfgM 16][A2CfgM 17]

Trivia[]
- ArmA 2's CZ 75 has the largest variety when it comes to actual variants out of all sidearms in the game (not including attachment sub-variants).
- Prior to the latest Steam version patches, the ArmA 2's CZ 75s shared the same firing sound effects with the M9. This was changed by CorePatch so that they now utilise their own dedicated soundsets that were recorded for DLC's release.[3]
- CorePatch also improved their accuracy by reducing their dispersion values. Before CorePatch's release, CZ 75s shared the same dispersion values with the M9.[3]
- Though they share similar names, ArmA 2's P-07 DUTY should not be confused with ArmA 3's P07 handgun.
