I seem have seen the stuff somewhere sometime ago, maybe in this forum. Well, I can't recall it.
Anyway, haven't seen any army in the world using this weapon. Maybe it's just an experimental weapon. To me, it looks Russian and World War II. Just my $0.02.
Yep. Quote from
, this rifle is of Soviet Origin and is an answer to U.S. Project SALVO rifle.
"
The Pribor-3B Carbine was a three barreled(Meroka) rifle and was the Soviet rival to the U.S. Project SALVO rifle programme. It was a bullpup rifle and took the 7.62x39 round as used in the AK47/AKM Assault Rifles.
The point of the Pribor-3B was the same as Project SALVO, To produce a 'Meroka' assault rifle since it will have more chance of hitting the target and a slightly higher rate of fire, It is not known yet if this weapon fired in Semi/Full automatic fire.
There are rumours saying the Pribor-3B had a violent recoil so the sights had to be set in a particular angle.
It is believed the Pribor-3B cartridge ejection was behind the magazine area, The recoil force was high so the bolt traveled far back ejecting the spent cases downwards. This weapon is also possible to have led to the AN-94 Assault Rifle currently in use by Russian Special Forces.
The designer of this weapon was German A. Korobov, who also designed the highly successful TKB-517, The TKB-408 and TKB-022 Carbines."
