A-91
The A-91 is a bullpup assault rifle / grenade launcher system developed by KBP Instrument Design Bureau. Its design is derived from the 9A-91, and is in some ways a bullpup version of the 9A-91. The rifle has two variants, A-91 and 5.56A-91 (often rendered as 5,56A-91 due to the use of the comma as a decimal point in Russian). Both feature an integrated 40mm under-barrel grenade launcher.

ADS Amphibious Rifle
The ADS Amphibious Rifle (Автомат Двухсредный Специальный, Special Dual-Medium Assault Rifle) is a dual-medium assault rifle based on the A-91M, with a lineage tracing back to the original Soviet APS Underwater Rifle and prototype bullpup designs of the ASM-DT amphibious rifle.
Physically, the ADS is largely identical to the A-91M other than modifications necessary for underwater performance. Parts were redesigned and some materials were changed for this goal, and a new "environmental selector" switch was added to the gas system, configuring it for either air or water environments. The barrel of the 40mm grenade launcher has been made removable.
The ADS is chambered in 5.45x39mm and uses standard AK-74 magazines. Like any underwater firearm, its underwater lethality depends on its ammo. Above-water, the ADS would use standard 5.45x39mm rounds. Underwater, it would use special 5.45x39mm PSP rounds. The PSP rounds use standard 5.45x39mm casings and have dimensions that allow them to fit in AK-74 magazines, but what makes it different is its bullet, which is a much longer saboted 53mm metal projectile with a flat nose giving it supercavitating properties. Tests have shown that the ADS is competent in both environments; above water, its accuracy is comparable to military-issue AK-74s; underwater, it is more accurate and easier to handle than the older APS rifles, which also perform terribly above water. As of 2018, the ADS is entering mass production and is fully phasing out older APS underwater rifles.
