The ASh-12.7 (''Avtomat Shturmovoy'' > "Automatic Storming Rifle" - ''12.7mm calibre'') is a Close Quarters Battle or Dynamic Entry weapon. It is useful in penetrating cover or breaching doors. It can also be used to neutralize targets that are behind cover and/or wearing body armor.  

Early models had an integral carry handle with a Picatinny rail across the top. Later models had a "flat-top" with a monolithic Picatinny rail across the top. There are short Picatinny rails along the sides of the forend for mounting accessories. There is also a long Picatinny rail under the forend that can mount either a vertical foregrip or 40mm muzzle-loading grenade launcher. The barrel can mount either a muzzle brake or a silencer.
