Pribor-3B assault rifle

Quote :

Man-portable nordenfelt gun of the Soviet era that apparently provided 'near minigun' performance by combining the ROF but to be suitable for a soldier to handle. It uses the 7.62x39mm round but the ammo supply was limited as the weapon is magazine fed.

The Pribor-3B assault rifle still worked but was also quite hard to control due to the recoil force, Cartridge ejection is downwards BEHIND the magazine area as the weapon uses a gas/recoil operaton similar to that used in the AN94 Abakan assault rifle currently used by Russian special forces. Another variant of the Pribor-3B was made from AKM smilar parts to ease production. The Pribor-3B would be more practical as a tripod mounted machine gun if its possible to make a belt feed device for it.

The sources below claim this weapon is also designated as the TKB-059:

What the?

Never seen one of these, but it sure looks interesting.

Yeah, "what the?" describes this pretty well

Thanks for sharing this, never seen one of these either, who would have thought, that there ever existed a 3 barreled, 3 magazined assault rifle... with a design that could have been from H.R. Giger, at least the version on the first few fotos...

Certainly is a beast of a gun isn't it There have been Multi Barreled weapons in the past but nothing, as far as I know, this modern.

Does it fire 3 rds at once or singly
