According to representative of RADOM, the MSBS assault rifle with conventional/ telescopic stock is now ready for production and the bullpup variant will be ready for the end of this year. A "bullpup" is a firearm with its action behind its trigger group. This configuration permits a shorter overall weapon for a given barrel length.
The rifle has been in development since 2007 by the WAT (Military Academy of Technology) in Warsaw in cooperation with the arms manufacturer FB Radom. MSBS is an 5.56mm caliber assault rifle currently under development as a future standard rifle for the Polish Army. There are two basic variants currently being developed, based on a common upper receiver: a bullpup version and a standard version with folding or telescopic stock.
