Overview[]

The PPL is a Soviet prototype assault carbine developed in the mid 1970s.

Development[]

The PPL began development in 1973 when the Soviet Ministry of Defense announced State Competition «Modyern». The competition called for a small-sized / compact assault rifle for use with vehicle or weapon crews. Izhevsk Machinebuilding Plant began development on several models, one of which was the PPL by Ye.A. Popovich. The PPL design used the AK-74 as a base and reduced its size drastically, the barrel was shortened and the gas port was merged into the front sight block, a new rear sight was introduced, and the internals were modified for the new size.

Ye.A. Popovich was later transferred into M.T. Kalashnikov's design group, with the PPL being phased out of development. Kalashnikov, Popovich, and the rest of the design group eventually developed the firearm that would become the AKS-74U. They submitted it for the competition's trials in 1979.
