The OC-14 Groza ("Thunderstorm" in Slavic languages), available in either 9 x 39 mm or 7.62mm bullpup combined assault rifle and grenade launcher designed by CKIB SOO (Central Design Bureau of Sporting and Hunting Weapons) in Tula, Russia, and manufactured by TOZ (Tula Weapons Plant, Russia). It is nearly identical to AKS-74U in function and can be modified with a suppressor, telescopic sight and/or night vision device. The 9 mm uses the family of cartridges developed for suppressed fire during special operations - the subsonic SP-5, SP-6 and PAB-9 rounds. In the rifle/grenade launcher version, OC-14 is operated with a single trigger, with a rifle/launcher switch located near the trigger guard. A 7.62x39mm version named "Groza-1" was also developed for the Spetsnaz. This version accepts AK-47 standard magazines and may be equipped with a standard issue AK-74 bayonet. The 9 x 39 mm version supports 20-round magazines, and the 7.62x39mm allows using AK-type 30-round magazines.
