Lookout! The commies are coming :confused:


Putin demands that these weapons "have both the required quality, and acceptable, economically justified prices."

Also crappy ergonomics and the cam/pulley system used in its 2 round burst mechanism was overcomplicated and a potential reliability concern, if I remember right.
