AKMSU
Assault rifle Carbine / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The AKMSU (Russian: АКМСУ)[lower-alpha 1] is the name attributed to a compact carbine derived from the Soviet AKM, chambered in 7.62×39mm. The carbine was commonly thought to be a Soviet prototype weapon, but evidence suggests that the carbine was not actually of Soviet origin, and was instead a custom-made weapon misattributed as a Soviet weapon.
