Some other experimentations and prototypes like the Shak 12, Ots-14 Groza, A-545, AEK-971 and the KBP ADS are already in use with some units after they passed all tests that certify them as good to work. They are devastating firing at a short distance and very effective at a long-range too. Models like the AS VAL, the 9A-91 and the SR-3 are very appreciated for their highly perforating ammunition: the caliber 9x39mm. However many other assault rifles were created for the needs of special forces.

Almost every operator is already familiar with their classical sight and barrel lenght, the recoil shock, what muzzle is better to use, etc… Most of the time, special operators prefer to use some accessories to customize their models. Spetsnaz assault riflesĪs always among automatic rifles appreciated by russian special forces the Kalashnikov family and derivates have a lot of success. Here, for example, it is possible to allocate the special mention to weapons with a considerably lowered level of noise when shooting on a target at close range, but many of them are qualified as special thanks to different particularity like ergonomy or the use of penetrating bullets. Of course, the very fact that the weaponry of special forces does not yet make it a special purpose weapon. Most of them were created for the needs of special forces, counter-terrorist units and special services. Almost no restriction in terms of choice is applied for them: their service rifle is (almost) a personal choice. To carry out such operations, special forces fighters of the Russian Federation need a wide variety and effective weapons. They are designed to covertly penetrate into the enemys rear, conducting intelligence for a long time and, if necessary, the destruction of important military facilities of the enemy, as well as other specific tasks. For such operations, armies of the developed countries have special squads and units. In modern wars, a significant place belongs to special reconnaissance and sabotage operations conducted in the enemy territory.
