i think i see an early version of what eventually turned into the chiappa rhino in the last pic.
Wow...
New Russian TsKIB ASh-12 .50 Cal (12.7x55mm) Bullpup Rifle
TsKIB SOO, a subsidiary of KBP (Instrument Design Bureau), have developed a new bullpup rifle called the ASh-12. It is chambered in a new family of 12.7x55mm cartridges they developed for the rifle.
The ASh-12 Rifle
The 12.7x55mm is a thumper of a cartridge. It is similar in size, and probably power, to the .50 Beowulf. To help mitigate recoil, the ASh-12 is fitted with a large two-baffle muzzle brake. The 12.7x55mm assault rifle cartridge is based on the 12.7x55mm subsonic rifle cartridge (similar to the .500 Whisper). I do not believe an assault rifle chambered in 12.7x55mm would be able to chamber the much longer 12.7x55mm suppressed rifle cartridge. TsKIB SOO have developed a FMJ, soft-point, lead and armour piercing loads for the 12.7x55mm assault rifle cartridge.

The ASh-12 is not the first bullpup from TsKIB SOO. In the mid-90s they developed the A91 assault rifle and in the early 00s, the A91M.

All I can think of is a modernized Russian version of a tommy gun

Looks like someone in Russia was admiring the qualities of the .50 Beowulf. Interesting. I saw this on the milphotos site yesterday. Pretty cool.

TsKIB SOO makes some of the most amazing guns on the planet. We in the west only get to see a fraction of the things they develop and make. Just take a look at their latest offerings:

That isn't even their entire catalog. There's a lot more neat toys they have in the toybox but only the Spetsnaz play with those.

OTS-62...Service Revolver Shotgun.
YES. PLEASE.(actually to be fair, looks like a simple breaching shotgun, and looks ideal).

I forgot to add this TsKIB SOO gem:
That's what happens when you put a 91/30 into the hands of some master firearms designers.
The OTS-48K is built using old Mosin Nagant rifles as a base. TsKIB SOO then heavily modifies the bolt handle and stock into this configuration.

thats crazy..
reminds me a bit of the M28/76 that some one got a bit creative with.
I wonder how it actually shoots. moving the fire controls into a bullpup like config adds a long rod.. the triggers are often a bit spongy due to this.
I want a M28/76. I've always like the Mosin Nagant, I have a couple of them, one is bubba'd up (I tried mounting a modern posp scope, it didn't work well) one is dead stock other then some Finnish style shims to the trigger.
