Bullpup design to save length, and manual action (straight pull bolt) to save weight.

Interesting design choices, even aside from the suppressor.

Did you notice the flimsy little bipod he was shooting off of? Looked a little silly.

Tula Arsenal was founded in 1712 by Peter the Great (Izhevsk is over 200 years old, as well). What a shame that the U.S. allowed its most historic military arms manufacturer, the original Springfield Armory, to lapse into disuse.

The manual action is actually to keep it quiet. Self-loaders make a lot of bolt noise.
