SR-3 Vikhr

The SR-3 Vikhr (Russian: СР-3 «Вихрь»; Специальная Разработка-3, romanized: Spetsialnaya razrabotka «Vikhr», lit. 'Special Development' "Whirlwind"), previously designated as the AM Vikhr; Avtomat Malogabaritnyj "Vikhr", lit. 'Small-sized Automatic Rifle'), is a Russian 9×39mm compact assault rifle. It was developed by A. D. Borisov, V. N. Levchenko and A. Tyshlykov at TsNIITochMash (Central Institute for Precision Machine Building) in the early 1990s and was manufactured in 1994. Heavily based on the AS Val, but which lacks the integral suppressor design, it has a redesigned folding stock and charging handle for ease of concealed carry.
Due to the high cost to manufacture the SR-3 Vikhr, it was not mass-produced for the Russian military. Instead, it was used by the Russian Special Operations Forces (Spetsnaz) and Russian Federal Security Officers.
