OTs-12 “Tiss” is a Russian machine gun developed in the Tula Central Design Bureau of sports and hunting weapons (TsKIB SOO) based on the AKS74U . The key difference is the use of special subsonic cartridges 9 × 39 mm (SP-5 and SP-6), which entailed changes in the barrel, muzzle device, dimensions of the shutter mirror and magazine. The scope and muzzle brake compensator have also been changed.

History
Several hundred assault rifles were handed over to the power structures of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, from which a positive assessment of the new weapon was obtained: less mass and tendency to ricochet than AKS74U, increased accuracy and stopping effect, and ease of handling. It was planned that production would be established at the Tula Arms Plant (TOZ), but this did not happen. The most popular was the bullpup automatic "Thunderstorm" , developed a year later on the basis of this machine.
Index
Most sources indicate that the machine has an index of "OTs-11", but this is an index of the revolver " Nickel " [2] . There is also a photograph of the machine with the marking "OTs-12." [3]
