The modernized version SR.3M is designed with a barrel length of only 136 mm for special SP5 and SP6 9x39mm cartridges with a muzzle velocity of 310 m/s. This makes the weapon compact and convenient in short-distance combat, e.g. in dense urban areas.

The reliability and ease of use of the weapon, as well as the ability to install special equipment such as night and sniper sights, make our weapons famous and popular all over the world.
