This design feature is necessary to accommodate the unique ammunition feed mechanism. The most conspicuous identifying feature of the AN-94 is its magazine which is canted several degrees to the right of center (when viewed from a firing position). The AN-94 offers a unique two-shot burst function at a stated 1800 rounds per minute. This, it is claimed, increases hit probability under the most adverse combat conditions. The AN-94 has the unique feature of delaying felt recoil for the first two rounds. Due to its complex design and expense, it failed to fill its intended role as a replacement for the AK-74, but it is in limited use as a special purpose weapon.
The AN-94 was designed as a potential replacement to the AK-74 series of rifles currently in service with the Russian Armed Forces. The initials stand for Avtomat Nikonova model of 1994, after its chief designer Gennadiy Nikonov, who previously worked on the Nikonov machine gun.
