Bulkin AB-46
History
The Avtomat Bulkina obr. 1946g., is a prototype assault rifle designed by Alexey Alexeevich Bulkin was a firearms designer at Tula Weapons Design Bureau. It is chambered with the 7.62x41mm M1943. The weapon itself fires full auto only. The weapon itself lost to the Automatic Kalashnikov during official military trials in 1947 after it was reported to malfunction without even firing a shot. Which resulted the rifle itself to remain as a prototype rather than putting to service as well as not putting it in production since the Soviet military favored the AK-47 considering the AK-47 was both cheap and reliable.
Today the variants of the AB-46 are display at the Museum of Artillery in St.Petersburg, Russia and Tula State Arms Museum.
