im a little skeptical of the PP2000. i would defiantly not want to bring that to a carbine fight

It is like a super uzi!

Sorry, to me it looks like a 9MM pistol with a flash hider, butt stock and a grip thingy on the trigger guard. I think I'd rather have an Uzi. From the article it looked like these were new guns for the police, not the army.

PP 2000 http://world.guns.ru/smg/smg61-e.htm

Where does it eject? Out that kind of downward facing chute thing at the back? Ok, that's kind of cool. I think I'd still rather have and uzi though.

I like the little 9MM AK.

v-lad putin must have buddies that he wants to help make rich...

i think the 9mm AK clone should be a companion to the ak47/74, not replace it

If I read the article right, this isn't for infantry, but for police in the "Interior Ministry", which I'm guessing is some sort of paramilitary homeland security club like the Gestapo and its cousins.

Oh, like the TSA and the NYPD Transit Authority squads. :?

Interior Ministry troops traditionally were the troops who were used to defend defense installations and other state security installations as well as prisons etc. They shouldn't be confused with the regular army or the Frontier Troops (KGB) who guard the border. Apparently, they will also be used by some police and special operation units as well per the article.
