[jiggaboohoo]

@darraghtank its for the spring that pushes the bullets...

.. the spring us narrower like a normal ak mag spring,

this gun is the russian 1st generation of underwater gun they now have 2 and 3rnd gen guns..

the newest can fire on land and in water with the same effect, and feed both types of ammo from the same magazine.. the new ammo is normal 5.45/39 ammo but with a special underwater bullet about 55mm long 2 1/4 inch ..

Dosent that shoot little Crossbow style bolts and not normal ammo?

[Sigmundfraud]

Yes there are.... Russia has an elite group of frogmen that I think are a part of the navy, other groups like special Spetsnaz operators also use underwater firearms.

the bottom part is probably just the spring housing....

5.66mm. Pretty cool.

Don't kid yourself. This weapon was designed to defend Soviet ports when there really were attacks and suspicious activities under water. They still invest a lot of money in defending ports under water because how hard would it be to float a bomb into a port at night and attach it to a ship, then detonate it as the ship is pulling out with a full load of cargo. 10Kg of semtex or homemade explosives would be plenty to cause a catastrophe. We are always at war in one form or another.
