The AN-94 (, GRAU designation 6P33) is a Russian assault rifle. The initials stand for model of 1994, after its chief designer Gennadiy Nikonov, who previously worked on the Nikonov machine gun. The name refers to the Siberian city of Abakan.
The AN-94 was designed as a potential replacement to the AK-74 series of rifles currently in service with the Russian Armed Forces. 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.
