AEK-919 K submachine gun in training
Backyard Safari has a collection of images showing the AEK-919 K Submachine gun being used in training by the Vityaz (counter-terrorism Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs special forces unit).

A surprisingly aesthetically pleasing gun. The Russians tend to ignore appearances.
The AEK-191 was designed during the mid 90′s and fires the marginal 9x18mm Makarov cartridge. It takes 20 or 30 round magazines, has a 6.5″ barrel, weights 4 lbs unloaded and has a rate of fire of 900 rpm.
Many more photo here.

@ jdun1911:
The Russian police has used the AKS-74U for a long time and is not happy with it, so they are going back to SMGs. (Steve and I blogged about this a few weeks ago.)
it’s pretty simple looking
the Russians have produced a lot of different sub-guns, I wonder when they’re going to settle for one
does anyone know what gun was the one in the 4th and 5th pics w/ the huge suppressor?
I’m surprise that the Russian are moving backward in small arms. The rest of the world is moving away from sub-gun to short barrel rifle as their primary. Or maybe they’re behind the curve.
Anyway I wouldn’t want to get hit by a 9×18mm Makarov nonetheless.
