The Infantry Combat Rifle (ICR) (Zhenian: 보병전투소총), formerly known as the Next-Generation Infantry Weapon (Zhenian: 차세대보병화기) during its development phase, is a line of short-stroke piston-operated, selective-fire assault rifles with a rotating bolt from Zhenia. Constructed to be a modular rifle, it features high modularity in barrel and caliber changes, as well as its adaptability to various circumstances all while using the same platform. Like its predecessor, the Z620 series, its initial baseline variant, the ICR-L, was developed with the Munmu 6.8 mm rounds in mind, although other variants using different calibers exist. Introduced in 2004, it has been designated as the primary service rifle of the Greater Eastern Union Defense Forces since then, while it has also seen service in other governmental branches and armed forces around the world.
