Pribor-3B/TKB-059 assault rifle

[Cutaway]

Man-portable nordenfelt gun of the Soviet era that apparently provided 'near minigun' performance by combining the ROF but to be suitable for a soldier to handle. It uses the 7.62x39mm round but the ammo supply was limited as the weapon is magazine fed.

The Pribor-3B assault rifle still worked but was also quite hard to control due to the recoil force, Cartridge ejection is downwards BEHIND the magazine area as the weapon uses a gas/recoil operaton similar to that used in the AN94 Abakan assault rifle currently used by Russian special forces. Another variant of the Pribor-3B was made from AKM smilar parts to ease production. The Pribor-3B would be more practical as a tripod mounted machine gun if its possible to make a belt feed device for it.

The sources below claim this weapon is also designated as the TKB-059:

So you get to be the most dangerous infantryman on the planet for about a fifth of a second. Then what?

Cool for home defence though :D

That's a eastern bloc rifle I think even SSP will struggle to get excited about :)

Just looks a bad idea on so many levels.

Lets not jump to conclusions shall we! Hehe.

One thing I like about the Russians is that they are not afraid to think outside the box when it comes to small arms design.

Even if it doesnt work out, they still give it a good bash.
