I wouldn't mind one, or at least an A-91 rifle which it was developed from. It's not the prettiest piece of machinery but probably very functional and probably the only Russian soon-to-be reasonably widely issued service rifle we have a chance of getting.

Love it

cool.

Sweet but if the russians ever make a semi auto only version we are looking at a long wait. Plus the RCMP might pull some BS to make it a prohib anyway.

 

[870P]

There is at least one importer working at getting these in already! I wouldn't think producing a semiauto version and adding 2.3 inches of barrel (for nonrestricted status) would be such a big deal.

Keeping my fingers crossed on the classification process.

Sweet underwater Bear defence

Don't want to be a party pooper... But rumor has it that the springs for this rifle are made in the same factory that made springs for the AK47... therefore it is a variant of the AK!!!!

I'd buy one. I think I'm going to go start a "best shark defence gun" thread

 

[QOR]

I'll take one.

Found this as well with a little info on the PSP cartridge:

Def looks like it might work for swimming bears.

Anyone know of any recent similar development in the West? I've seen the H&K single use system, but the Russians seam ahead in this area.

Looks like an updated Groza, get these in and I will buy for sure.

Google "DGS Supercavitating ammo", the real question is what have Western naval SF been using for an underwater rifle until now? Even the Chinese deploy an underwater rifle.

correct me if i'm wrong here but ... doesn't bullpup = prohib?

 

[DiMP]

Maybe I'm thinking about this wrong... but how many underwater battles are fought in water shallow enough for people? Aren't most sea battles between subs and ships?

yep your wrong

 

[LeJuque&Friends]

It looks just like the Ukrainian Vepr II

 

[redrab]

I love it and I want one...but its highly unlikely! nice to dream though...

I'd imagine combat divers infiltrating or defending a port facility, oil platform or a defended beach would find it handy, as would anyone encountering undersea wildlife or zombies.
