umm. Nooo. That's the full name of the gun, as far as I can tell... as far as the web site tells me.
1) AN-94
2) Spetznaz
3) AN-94
Additional Info:
The fallowing information is from http://www.downport.com/bard/bard/vera/vera7106.html
---------------------------------------------------
The AN-94 is the latest Russian assault rifle, and it is intended that it will replace the AK-74 in service as money becomes availible. It is rated by Jane's Infantry Weapons 1998-99 as the most advanced infantry rifle in service, thus placing it as mid to late TL8 (depending on your view of our current tech level). Like the now defunct G11 (the most advanced infantry rifle made to this point) the AN-94 has a three round burst system that gives a much higher than cyclic rate of fire for the burst. In the AN-94's case the ROF for the burst is 1800 rpm. As a result when firing three round bursts the first burst is not effected by recoil modifiers, although its recoil is still counted when determining the recoil penalty for any other bursts fired during the round. Add an extra Cr150 to the weapon price and 0.1kg to all weights to add the optional optical sight. ----------------------- Dawk "Cosmic" Rhonaey

1) AN-94
2) Spetznaz
3) AK-74M | The fact that the ASN Assault Riffle is appearing in equipment displays by elite Russian Army units indicates that it is beginning to replace the Kalashnikov AK-74, the old service weapon
the AN-94 is not often used in the Soviet Union, only a few Commandos like Speznat got equipt with it
ah btw, there is now the new AK-100 series but itswill also get replaced soon

Yep, know the answer, but found out in a way that was unfair (not purposely done, btw).
So, my knowing the answer by this is just not fair for you guys, so I'm not going to participate in this one. ----------------------- Dawk "Cosmic" Rhonaey

So, a little research tells me that although the AN-94 is approved, most special forces are still using the AK-74M with a few units going to an AK-100 type series. You can imagine that the regular troops are still carting around their standard issue weapons that have been in stock for decades.
So I would have to give the real life correct answer to Warmaker as he has the greatest combination of OOB info that you seem to have tapped into and real life data (namely, what the Russians have actually managed to find the money to buy).

So....your Light Colonel is a member of the Russian armed forces?
Like I (and others) have stated before, just because some units may have the gear...and the paperwork says all of them do, reality most likely plays another tune. The US has more defense spending than most continents combined and we still took forever to roll out M-249s instead of M-60s for SAWs and M-1s in place of M-60s for tanks.
Don't believe everything that you read, breathe, and have whispered into your ear late nights at the bar.

A-91M
This weapon signaled a possible return in Russia to the 7.62S round, though full development was halted by the advent of the Twilight War. As such, this weapon was only issued to Spetsnaz, Alpha Teams, and KGB personnel, and even then only in small numbers. The GP-95 grenade launcher was specifically designed for use with this weapon. The weapon is gas-operated with an almost totally enclosed receiver, and the weapon is designed to be equally usable by left and right-handed firers, despite its bullpup construction, as the cases are ejected towards the front of the weapon. Ammo: 7.62S; Weight: 3 kg; Magazine: 30
APS
This is a selective-fire underwater assault rifle based upon the Kalashnikov action. It fires 120mm-long darts propelled by a sealed gunpowder cartridge. The APS is intended for Naval Spetznaz swimmers, and can be used on land as well as in water. A striking feature of the weapon is its huge magazines, necessitated by the size of the ammunition. Ammo: 5.66MPS; Weight: 2.4; Magazine: 26
OTs-14 Groza
This Russian weapon was developed as a close-combat weapon for Spetsnaz, Alpha teams, airborne forces, and combat engineers. It comes in two calibers: 7.62S and 9mmSP5/SP6. The 7.62S version is primarily used by airborne and combat engineers, while the 9mmSP5/SP6 version is the more common one, used by Spetsnaz and Alpha teams. The Groza has a 75% parts commonality with the AK-74. When mounted with the GP-25, a single trigger fires both the assault rifle and grenade launcher, with the selector lever switching between the weapons. The Groza can mount the PSO-1 sight used on the SVD and SVU sniper rifles, and is threaded for a suppressor. Ammo: 7.62S, 9mmSP5/SP6; Weight: (7.62S) 3.1 kg, (9mmSP5/6) 2.7 kg; Magazine: 30, 40, 45, 60
You see they use severall weapons, not one specifik. it depends on the mission

Its a rifle, not a gun.
A rifle is a gun with a rifled barrel.
A gun is a gun without a rifled barrel, and usually uses gunpowder.
I know the Russian economy is in a bad way, but I have a feeling they've advanced past gunpowder. ----------------------- Captain Aaron "Bear" Le'pue, NCC Adjutant & VE Today Chief Editor
