Design
The weapon is arranged according to the bullpup scheme. The principle of automation is the removal of powder gases (there is no gas regulator). Design features that reduce the dispersion of bullets include: rigid locking of the barrel and the selection of powder gases from the muzzle of the barrel, that is, when the bullet has already left the barrel. Sights - optical sights POSP 8x42 or PSO-1 . Food is supplied from detachable box magazines with a capacity of 10 rounds.
