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.
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

@ 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.)
