You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''AKMSU''' (((lang-ru|АКМСУ)))((Efn|Attributed full name: ((Lang-rus|'''А'''втомат '''К'''алашникова '''M'''одернизированный '''С'''кладной '''У'''короченный|r='''A'''vtomát '''K'''aláshnikova '''M'''odernizírovanny '''S'''kladnoy '''U'''korochenniy|t=Shortened Modernized Kalashnikov Automatic Rifle with Folding Stock)))) is the name attributed to a compact carbine derived from the Soviet [[AKM]], chambered in [[7.62×39mm]].  The carbine was commonly thought to be a Soviet prototype weapon, but evidence suggests that the carbine was not actually of Soviet origin, and was instead a custom-made weapon misattributed as a Soviet weapon.

== Origins ==
The carbine that would later be attributed with the name AKMSU was first received by the British Ministry of Defense Pattern Room collection in June 1986. The Pattern Room closed in September 2005, and their entire collection was gifted to the [[Royal Armouries]] in [[Leeds, England]], where the AKMSU resides to this day.<ref>((Cite web |title=Centrefire automatic rifle - Kalashnikov 'AKM SU' - about 1977 |url=https://royalarmouries.org/collection/object/object-275685 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240126083800/https://royalarmouries.org/collection/object/object-275685 |archive-date=2024-01-26 |access-date=2024-01-28 |website=royalarmouries.org |language=en))</ref><ref name="TFB">((cite web |last=Onokoy |first=Vladimir |date=10 August 2018 |title=The legend of AKMSU – mysterious AK that never was |url=https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2018/08/10/the-legend-of-akmsu-mysterious-ak-that-never-was/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180811011656/https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2018/08/10/the-legend-of-akmsu-mysterious-ak-that-never-was/ |archive-date=2018-08-11 |access-date=14 August 2018 |website=The Firearm Blog |publisher=The Firearm Blog))</ref>

Following the Pattern Room's reception of the carbine, the carbine would be documented in several English<ref>((Cite book |last=Isby |first=David C |url=https://archive.org/details/weaponstacticsof0000isby/ |title=Weapons and tactics of the Soviet Army |publisher=Jane's Publishing Company Limited |year=1988 |isbn=0710603525 |edition=New |location=London |pages=415 |language=en))</ref><ref>((Cite book |last=Johnston, Gary Paul; Nelson, Thomas B. |title=The World's Assault Rifles |publisher=Ironside International Publishers |year=2010 |isbn=0935554009 |location=Lorton |pages=751, 753 |language=en))</ref> and Russian publications,<ref>((Cite book |last=Благовестов |first=А.И. и другие |title=Стрелковое оружие |publisher=Попурри |year=1999 |isbn=985-438-366-0 |edition=4th |location=Минск |pages=276-277 |language=ru))</ref><ref>((Cite book |last=Монетчиков |first=С. Б. |title=История русского автомата |publisher=Атлант |year=2005 |isbn=5-98655-006-4 |location=Москва |pages=170 |language=ru))</ref> and the name AKMSU was later attached to the weapon. Alongside the name, the weapon was also attributed with history that describe it as a Soviet prototype weapon, made in either 1959 or 1975. Despite the description of these sources, no Russian armory documentation exists for the weapon, strongly suggesting that AKMSU was not a Soviet weapon.<ref name=TFB/>

The true origin of the AKMSU is uncertain, though it has been suspected to be a one-off "[[Khyber Pass Copy]]" from Pakistan's [[Khyber Pass]] region, an area known for diverse and unique weapon production in small shops.<ref name=TFB/>

== Design ==

The AKMSU is composed of a Chinese manufactured [[Type 56 assault rifle|Type 56-1]] receiver combined with a 1977 dated [[AKM]] trunnion. Its other custom parts include a muzzle brake, which is required for the correct functioning of the rifle and contains an expansion chamber to correctly cycle the rifle. The muzzle brake has many grooves machined into it for increased heat dispersion. It also has a custom hand guard.<ref name=TFB/>
