Quick Look
The AN-94, developed by Russia in the early 1990s, was intended to modernize infantry rifle capability. Its unique design enables extremely high first-shot burst accuracy via a novel delayed recoil system. Still rare outside military circles, it garners attention among collectors and firearm enthusiasts for its engineering complexity.
Why It's a Top Choice
- Innovative recoil-delayed blowback system for twin-shot burst
- Precision-focused design through inline barrel and balanced mechanism

- Highly collectible due to limited commercial availability
- Built for sustained reliability in adverse field conditions
Key Variants
There are currently no widely differentiated commercial variants of the AN-94 available on the civilian market due to limited importation and manufacturing restrictions.
