In the 1980s the Soviet Union started experimenting on a next generation assault rifle design so advanced that to this day the US doesn’t have anything that comes anywhere close to its complexity. But maybe that’s a good thing? Maybe your rifle shouldn’t have more moving parts than a rube goldberg machine and come with a twenty page user manual in order to operate. Today it’s still considered a rare find popping up in strange places every so often even in the trucks of Ukranian’s cars. I like it , that’s casual.

The AN94 was originally meant to be the primary weapon for the Soviet Union which would have required a major change in infantry doctrine but there are a number of reasons why it failed. The Rifles development story leads us to answers about the pro’s and cons of how the Russian military industrial complex works.

In this episode we’re going to cover the AN-94 rifle that is used by both Russian Spetsnaz Operators and Ukrainian troops to this day. Let’s analyze how it operates, the right and wrong ways to deploy with it in combat and whether or not its unique fighting doctrine makes any sense.

DEVELOPMENT

The Story of the AN-94 rifle begins with the famous Russian Gun engineer Gennadiy Nikonov. The fact that he was born in 1950 in the city of Izhevsk makes it seem like he was destined to work in the defense industry because Izhevsk is known as a major hub for Russia’s defense industry, engineering and metallurgy. The city has the title of the armory capital of Russia. Nikonov’s father and mother both worked at Izhmashh, the massive soviet arms factory there talk about being born into something.

The city’s armory itself is legendary. It was first established on June 10th 1807 by Emperor of all Russia Alexander the Ist in response to Napoleon's invasion of Russia. The placement of this small arms plant at Izhevsk was by no means random. Alexander the 1st strategically planned its location at the bank of the Izh River due to its close proximity to the iron works which would solve all of their raw material supply issues. The factory would go on to supply the Imperial Russian army with more than 6,000 of the No.15 17.7mm muskets and Napoleon would end up going back to France freezing cold and totally empty handed.
