TKB-059 (ТКБ-059) was a Soviet three-barrel bullpup assault rifle, capable of fully automatic fire, chambered for the 7.62×39mm round and manufactured by Tula Arms Plant in 1966. It was based on the Device 3B (Прибор 3Б), an earlier experimental assault rifle with three barrels.[3] Both weapons were developed by the small arms designer Gennadij Korobov.
Both weapons used a triplet 7.62×39mm magazines with the option of 45 Round Magazines (15x3) or 60 Round Magazines (20x3), with each barrel independently fed from the magazine.[1] The TKB-059 can be fired ambidextrously as the cartridge ejection is downwards behind the magazine area.
In popular culture
The weapon is featured in Payday 2 as the Rodion 3B Rifle.
