IPI Malyuk

The IPI Malyuk is a Ukrainian assault rifle, also known as the Vulcan, developed by the indigenous Ukrainian arms company, Interproinvest. The weapon's translation means "Baby" in English, and is a development of the Soviet Kalashnikov assault rifle, which is reconfigured into a bullpup layout.

History
Development on the Malyuk started in 2005, based on an earlier attempt for a bullpup rifle, known as the Vepr, and the mistakes made with it, and it was based off a contract placed by Ukraine's Security Services, with prototype rifles before inquiries were made with the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense in 2008. It eventually made it's debut in 2015 at the Arms & Security Expo in Kyiv, and has been used during the 2022 Invasion of Ukraine to fight against Russian separatist forces, including the Azov Battalion, and has been demonstrated in Indonesia and Sri Lanka for potential contracts.

Stats
The weapon has extremely minimal recoil, due to the ergonomics designed on the weapon itself, as recoil is reduced by 50% on this rifle, and the design permits the user to fire the rifle, unload and reload a magazine with one hand. It can retain selective fire, or an ambidextrous low-profile two-position selector for semi and full-auto fire, and can be equipped with an underbarrel grenade launcher and serves many purposes. In XNDUIW, the gun is chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO, and was developed as it's own unit, based off the Kalashnikov platform itself.
