English to Russian: Russia Unveils Amphibious Assault Rifle General field: Tech/Engineering Detailed field: Automation & Robotics
Source text - English Today in problems I didn't know existed: While there are guns that fire underwater, and guns that fire on land, there are very few that can do both. Introduced at an arms expedition in Moscow, Tula Instrument Design Bureau's ADS gun is an assault rifle for the special forces combat diver on the go. The key to this flexibility? Underwater bullets.
On land, the ADS fires 5.45х39 mm bullets—the current standard round for Russian assault rifles—up to a range of 1640 feet. In water, it uses a slightly shorter bullet, whose range is constrained by the depth of diver when firing. At 100 feet underwater, it can reach targets 82 feet away. After a diver emerges from the undersea battle, he or she can switch out a magazine of underwater bullets for a magazine of normal bullets, and continue firing on land with the same gun. Such modern convenience in bizarrely niche combat situations! There's also a grenade launcher on the ADS, though no mention yet of any special underwater grenades.
Of course, Russia already has an amphibious rifle, of sorts. The iconic AK-47 can be fired underwater, provided the target is less than 6 feet away and the depth is that of a standard swimming pool.
Translation - Russian Сегодня о проблемах, о которых я и не подозревал: есть оружие стреляющее под водой и оружие которое стреляет на земле, но очень мало, что может делать и то и другое. В Москве взят на вооружение автомат для специальных подразделений боевого пловца на ходу. Как это работает? Специальные подводные пули.
На земле, ведется огонь 5.45х39 мм пулями -нынешний стандарт Российской штурмовой винтовки (дальность до 1640 футов). В воде используются несколько меньшие пули, радиус действия которых ограничен по глубине при стрельбе. На глубине 100 футов под водой, пуля может достигнуть цели до 82 метров. После того, как дайвер всплывает из под воды, он может вставить магазин обычных пуль и продолжить стрельбу на земле с того же оружия. Такие современные удобства, как ни странно, удобны в боевых ситуациях! Оружие также оснащено подствольным гранатометом, но о каких-либо специальных подводных гранатах упомянуто не было.
Конечно, в России уже есть много десантных винтовок различных видов. Например знаменитый АК-47 так же может стрелять под водой, при условии дальности цели не более 6 метров и глубины со стандартный бассейн.
