DefenseReview has been interested in the Nikonov AN-94 "Abakan" assault rifle for a pretty long time, now. I believe I first read about it in 1994 or 1995. Designed by Russian small arms designer Gennadiy Nikonov, the AN-94 is an interesting rifle, as it enjoys one of the same (major) advantages as the Ultimax 100 Mk3 5.56mm light machine gun--less recoil and more hits on target during full-auto fire from a lightweight weapons platform. However, the Nikonov AN-94 Abakan rifle accomplishes this feat via a different mechanism than the Ultimax 100 Mk3.
For additional information and video see AN-94 Abakan
