Underwater rifles are more powerful than underwater pistols and more accurate out of water, but underwater pistols can be manipulated more easily underwater. Among the many engineering challenges in designing underwater firearms is that of developing a weapon which can be effective both underwater and out of water.
The APS can operate on land, but its effective range does not exceed 50 metres, and the rifle's lifetime drops to 180 shots in air from 2,000 shots underwater. Therefore, they mostly carried a SPP-1 pistol for self-defence under water and an AK-74 to fight on land.
Since ordinary-shaped rounds are inaccurate and have a very short range when used underwater, this pistol fires steel darts underwater or traditional bullets above water. [2] [1] It has five barrels, each of which is loaded with a cartridge, giving the gun a pepper-box appearance, and it is electrically ignited from a battery pack in the pistol ...
Under water, ordinary-shaped bullets are inaccurate and very short-range. As a result, this pistol fires a round-based 4.5 millimetres (0.18 in) caliber steel dart about 115 millimetres (4.5 in) long, weighing 12.8 grams (0.45 oz), which has longer range and more penetrating power than speargun spears.
But in today's climate, just months after 19 children and two teachers were killed in a school shooting in Uvalde, Tex., toy guns remain a hot topic of discussion. While some parents feel kids ...
The commandos thought that this arrangement was unsatisfactory, and there continued to be demand for an underwater automatic rifle that would be as effective underwater and as an AK-74 out of water. As a result, in 1991, at the Artillery Engineering Institute in Tula, Russia , the ASM-DT project was created, with Yuriy Danilov as project engineer.

The QBS-06 is a gas-operated, rotary-bolt mechanism. [4] The QBS-06 has a capacity of 25 rounds. [1] It is chambered in 5.8×42 DBS-06 caliber, a variant of 5.8×42mm. [1]It is equipped with fixed iron sights and retractable shoulder stock, made of steel wir with the furniture made from plastic. [1]
