9×39mm
The 9×39mm is a Soviet rifle cartridge. The cartridge yields increased performance in shorter barrels and effective subsonic performance. History and design The 9×39 is based on the Soviet 7.62×39mm case but with the neck expanded to fit a 9.2mm bullet. The final design was completed by N. Zabelin, L. Dvoryaninova, and Y. Frolov of the TsNIITochMash in the 1980s. The intent was to create a more stealthy cartridge for suppressed firearms used by Spetsnaz and other special troops that had more power, range, and penetration than 7.62 US subsonic rounds tested at the time. The subsonic round is originally designed to have an optimistic effective lethal range of 400 to 530 meters and a maximum penetration of up to 10 mm of steel. Like the 5.45×39mm cartridge, the 9×39mm SP-5 features an air pocket in the tip, which increases its tendency to yaw or "keyhole" upon impact, thus increasing soft tissue damage in human targets. The armor-piercing SP-6 cartridge is more effective ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
OTs-14 Groza
The OTs-14-4 "Groza-4" () is a Russian selective fire bullpup assault rifle chambered for the 9×39mm subsonic cartridge. It was developed in the 1990s at the TsKIB SOO (Central Design and Research Bureau of Sporting and Hunting Arms) in Tula, Russia, Tula, Russia. The weapon is colloquially known as OC-14 or OTs-14 "Groza". The OTs-14-4A "Groza-4" has one derivative, the TKB-0239 (ТКБ-0239), also known as OTs-14-1A "Groza-1", chambered for the 7.62×39mm cartridge. The Groza saw limited use in the Second Chechen War and Russo-Georgian War. However OTs-14 Groza are still by some police force across Russia. History The weapon's chief designers were Valery Telesh, responsible for the GP-25, GP-25 and GP-30 under-barrel grenade launchers, and Yuri Lebedev. The team set out to design an integrated and modular system that would incorporate all the best features of a close-combat long gun into a single weapon based on the AK-74#Variants, AKS-74U. Their first attempt at this was the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
AK-9
The AK-9 is a Russian 9×39mm compact rifle. Its development began when Izhevsk Machine-Building Plant (Izhmash), now known as Kalashnikov Concern started working on a new silent, flame-less, compact AK rifle in the early 2000s. When creating the new weapon, the manufacturers have tried to surpass all available competitors, such as the AS Val and SR-3M. The basis for the silent, flame-less shooting complex rifle was designated as the AK-9, where it uses a quick-detachable suppressor. The AK-9 is primarily designed for special units of the Interior Ministry and the Russian Army.The Russian Special Forces wanted to develop a rifle that combines the reliability of the AK platform with the advantages of maneuverability and It is one of the latest models of the popular Kalashnikov rifle series. It is based on the AK-100 series, which is a modernization series of Kalashnikov assault rifles. A unique feature of the rifle is the use of the SP-5 and SP-6 special 9×39mm subsonic ca ...

VSK-94
The VSK-94 (, GRAU index 6В8) is a 9×39mm sniper rifle variant of the 9A-91 assault rifle, designed in 1995 in the KBP Instrument Design Bureau by Vasily Gryazev and manufactured by Tula Arms Plant. The VSK-94 was meant to be a cheaper alternative to the VSS "Vintorez". Unlike the VSS, the suppressor of the VSK-94 is not an integrated design. Design details The VSK-94 is chambered in 9×39mm cartridge. It retains the gas operated, rotating bolt with 4 lugs which utilises a long stroke gas piston operating system of the 9A-91. The VSK-94 features a stamped steel receiver, a skeletonised polymer stock integrated with the pistol grip, a synthetic handguard, and feeds from a 20-round detachable box magazine from the 9A-91. The VSK-94 is primarily equipped with a 4× PSO-1 optical sight (optimised for subsonic rounds shooting), and back-up iron sights from the 9A-91. The threaded barrel is designed to use a specifically designed suppressor. Since the 9×39mm cartridge weighs abo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
SR-3 Vikhr
The SR-3 Vikhr (''СР-3 Вихрь'', Russian for "whirlwind") is a Russian 9×39mm compact assault rifle. It was developed by A. D. Borisov, V. N. Levchenko and A. Tyshlykov at TsNIITochMash (Central Institute for Precision Machine Building) in the early 1990s and was manufactured in 1994. Heavily based on the AS Val, but lacking an integral suppressor, it has a newly designed folding stock and charging handle for ease of concealed carry. The abbreviation "SR" stands for ''spetsialnaya razrabotka''—special development. Because the SR-3 Vikhr is a rather expensive lightweight carbine, it was not mass-produced for the Russian military. It was primarily used by the Russian Special Operations Forces and certain government officials' security details. History After the adoption of the SR-3 Vikhr, the FSB established new operational requirements with a goal to combine the qualities of the SR-3, AS Val and VSS Vintorez, resulting in a new variant designated as the SR-3M (''СР- ...

AMB-17
The Kalashnikov Concern AMB-17 (, awaiting GRAU designation), is an integrally suppressed compact assault rifle, chambered in subsonic 9×39mm SP5 cartridge and armour-piercing SP6 cartridge. It was developed and manufactured alongside the Kalashnikov Concern AM-17, which was based on the Yevgeny Dragunov MA compact assault rifle. Both the AM-17 and AMB-17 were unveiled by Kalashnikov Concern at the Russian Army Expo 2017. The AMB-17 is designed for covert close quarters operations, primarily for special units of the Russian Interior Ministry and the Russian Army intended as a potential replacement for the AS Val and VSS Vintorez. Design details The AMB-17 has an integral suppressor mounted on the front of the upper receiver which wraps around the barrel. In order for the suppressor to be integrated, the AMB-17 employs a wider opening within its handguard as compared to the AM-17, along with the front of the upper receiver which also allows for an integrated handguard half-le ...

OTs-12 Assault Rifle
The OTs-12 ''Tiss'' () is a Russian fully automatic compact assault rifle. It is chambered for the subsonic 9×39mm round. The Tiss is meant to equip OMON and SOBR units in CQB-based operations. History The rifle was developed in the early 1990s in TsKIB SOO of Tula designers VN Telesh and Yu.V.Lebedev. It is basically an AKS-74U re-chambered for 9×39mm, it was designed as alternative to the AKS-74U. The TsKIB COO of Tula made several hundred of OTs-12s, which were transferred to the Interior Ministry security forces. Despite the good evaluation, the Tula Arms Plant did not put the rifle into mass-production. They instead opted for a bullpup configuration known as OTs-14 Groza, which became its successor. In 2018, a replica of the Tiss was reported to be designed by Daniel Fisher of KNS Precision. Design The main design changes from the AKS-74U are in the bolt, barrel, muzzle-brake, and magazine. Early versions were made with a long barrel. The 20-round box magazine was ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

9A-91
The 9A-91 is a compact assault rifle currently in use with Russian police forces. It is used as a cheaper and more versatile alternative to the SR-3 "Vikhr". The 9A-91 is a gas operated, rotating bolt weapon, which utilizes a long stroke gas piston, located above the barrel, and a rotating bolt with 4 lugs. The receiver is made from steel stampings; the forend and pistol grip are made from polymer. The steel buttstock folds up and above the receiver when not in use. The charging handle is welded to the right side of bolt carrier on earlier production guns with current production guns having a charging hand that folds up, making the gun more low profile by decreasing the chances of the charging handle snagging onto articles of clothing and equipment. Earlier production models of the 9A-91 featured the safety / fire selector lever at the left side of the receiver, above the trigger guard. Current production models feature the safety / fire selector lever at the right side and a si ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
