According to Sorokin, the new rifle, called ADS , was first introduced at an exhibition in Abu Dhabi (UAE) in February 2015. "ADS is not a completely new design but rather a development based on the design of the Russian-owned ASM-DT underwater rifle range," Sputnik said.

The notable feature of the new ADS rifle is that it does not use bullet-piercing bullets to shoot underwater, but lacks the power of land, which uses a 5.45mm-rated bullet designed specifically to fit in. can shoot on land and under water. This special design is currently kept secret.

ADS is a bullshit design, which means that the magazine is designed to be backward to the trigger to reduce the length of the gun. The prototype of the ADS was only 60cm long and weighed 4.5kg. Effective range of ADS on land is 500m, underwater is 25m. ADS has three firing modes: Single, Triple, and Full Auto.

Currently, ADS is continuing to be commissioned by the Russian Navy to complete the test.
