Molot VPO-209 .366 TKM carbine (VPO-209)
The Molot VPO-209 carbine is based on the well-known Kalashnikov AKM and has an almost identical appearance, weight, and overall dimensions. It has a smooth bore barrel with the last 120 mm of the barrel being rifled (a so called "paradox"-bore). VPO-209 is chambered in .366 TKM, that together with the "paradox" rifling classifies the weapon as a shotgun under Russian law.
