<strong>The</strong> 9×18mm Izhmekh PMM-12 pistol began replacing the 9×18mm Izhmekh PM Makarov as standard army pistol in 1994. For use against foes in body armor, the 9×21mm Tzniitochmash SR-1 Gyurza pistol was<br />

adopted. <strong>The</strong> 9×18mm Izhmekh PB sound-suppressed pistol is used for assassination and sentry removal, as is the 7.62×42mm Tzniitochmash PSS Vul silent pistol. <strong>The</strong> 5.45×39mm Izhmash AK-105 assault carbine<br />

was adopted to replace the 5.45×39mm Tulamash AKS-74U, but it is unclear if it was acquired in any numbers. <strong>The</strong> 5.45×39mm Tulamash AKS-74UB assault carbine is a sound-suppressed version of the AKS-74U. All<br />

these <strong>are</strong> in the process of replacement by the 7.62×39mm KBP OTs-14 Groza assault carbine. <strong>The</strong> standard 5.45×39mm Izhmash AKS-74 airborne assault rifle with folding stock is still in the inventory. <strong>The</strong><br />

9×39mm Tzniitochmash ASS Val suppressed assault rifle was adopted in 1992, as was the 9×39mm Tzniitochmash VSS Vintorez suppressed sniper rifle. <strong>The</strong> 7.62×54mmR Izhmash SVDS sniper rifle is a SVD-variant<br />

with short barrel and folding stock. <strong>The</strong> 5.45×39mm Tulamash RPKS-74 light machine gun with folding stock is used for suppressive fire. <strong>The</strong> 40mm KBP BP-30 underbarrel grenade launcher will mount under the<br />

AKS-74U, AKS-74 and AK-105. <strong>The</strong> OTs-14 mounts a modified version of it. Portable antitank weapons include the 40mm Kovrov RPG-7D launcher.<br />

Naval Spetsnaz also use the 4.5×39mm Tzniitochmash SPP-1M underwater dart pistol and 5.66×39mm Tzniitochmash APS underwater dart assault rifle.<br />

Since the 1970s the pistol of Russian internal security troops had been the 5.45×18mm Izhmekh PSM. <strong>The</strong> new standard sidearm appears to be the 9×21mm Tzniitochmash SR-1 Gyurza pistol. In recent years, a<br />

number of revolvers has been adopted, among them the big 12.3×50mmR Tzniitochmash UDAR revolver, which can fire ball, plastic baton and tear gas rounds. Several compact machine pistols <strong>are</strong> in the<br />

inventory, including the 5.45×18mm KBP OTs-23 Drotik, 9×18mm KBP OTs-27 Berdysh, 9×18mm KBP OTs-33 Pernad and 9×18mm Zlatoust PP-91 KEDR machine pistol. <strong>The</strong> primary weapon of shock troops is the<br />

5.45×39mm Tulamash AKS-74U assault carbine, which is in the process of being replaced by the 9×39mm KBP OTs-14 Groza assault carbine. <strong>The</strong> 9×39mm Tzniitochmash ASS Val suppressed assault rifle and 9×39mm<br />

Tzniitochmash VSS Vintorez suppressed sniper rifle <strong>are</strong> both in use. Other sniper rifles include the 7.62×54mmR Izhmash SVD and 7.62×54mmR KBP SVU. <strong>The</strong> 23×75mmR KS-23 pump-action shotgun is also in use.<br />
