That's Russia's latest assault rifle. What do you think? In some ways it reminds me of the early AR-15's. It's quite complicated and has bad ergonomics. Perhaps with a little inovation and patience the Russian's can make it ten times better than the Kalashnikov's.
The most interesting thing about it is it's ability to fire two-round bursts, a sniper's dream. I kind of like.
