NEW WORLD OF RUSSIAN SMALL ARMS AND AMMUNITION

The new generation of Russian weapons, covering rifles, pistols and revolvers, submachine guns, tactical shotguns, grenade launchers and ammunition. The book brings you detailed descriptions, specifications and drawings of Russia's cutting-edge small arms weapons systems. This exclusive insider's guide also reveals formerly classified weapons used by Soviet special forces, as well as prototype weapons that never entered production but were important because they advanced overall weapons design. Rifles: AN-94 assault, 6 mm "Unified" assault rifle and machine gun, and APS underwater assault rifle. Pistols and revolvers: Pistolet Makarovka and its derivatives, PSS silent pistol, and OTs Berdysh Poleaxe. Submachine Guns: Bizon, PP-91 Kedr and Gepard. Tactical Shotguns: KS-23 "Special Carbine" and Saiga-12 and -20. Grenade Launchers: GP-25 under barrel grenade launcher and BS-1/RGA-86 silent grenade launcher. There is also a comprehensive chapter on Russian ammunition, which is every bit as fascinating and innovative as the firearms that use it.
