9mm 9A-91 Compact Assault Rifle

Compact Assault Rifle

Mission

The 9A-91 compact assault rifle is designed to engage enemy personnel wearing body armour, and to destroy non-armoured vehicles at a range of up to 200 m. Features

While the rifle’s weight and dimensions are comparable to those of modern sub-machine guns, the weapon surpasses them in effective range of fire and lethality of rounds. Special-purpose rounds are fitted with low-ricochet bullets increasing rifle’s efficiency in close-quarter combat.

The assault rifle fires the SP-5, SP-6 and PAB9 rounds; these are fed from a 20-round magazine commonised with that of the VSK-94 rifle.

A metal butt is folded upwards. The sight is an open-type device that can be employed with the butt folded. The assault rifle can mount various optical, and electro-optical sights. It can also be fitted with a detachable silencer and a laser target designator.
