The OTs-02 Kiparis submachine gun was designed in 1972 by the Tula Central Design Bureau of Sporting and Hunting Weapons during the early 1990s; however, it was not introduced to the Russian police and MVD (Internal Affairs Ministry) until 1991. It is intended primarily for internal security and police units.
The OTs-02 is a blowback operated weapon of conventional design. The weapon can fire 9mm Makarov ammunition, but may also use the more powerful 9mm Makarov Hi-Impulse ammunition. The receiver is made from stamped steel with a plastic grip. It is fed using straight box magazines--inserted at the front of the trigger guard--of 20 or 30 rounds capacity; the steel butt folds up over the top of the receiver when not in use. OTs-02 can be fitted with detachable suppressor (life of 6000 rounds) and red dot sight.
