History
While Kazakhijkistan is not a industrial nation the defense forces believed it was necissary to locally produce a military assault rifle. The Kazakhi Government purchased the production rights for the AK-47 from the Soviet Union in 1966 a began to construct factories to produce the weapon. Kazakhijikistan decided to produce their own variant of the weapon, the Tubuka (After the town it was designed in) it is better suited for the average Kazakhi soldier (Being about 5.6 in height). Production began in 1970 and is still under production today. There are several variants they include; the Tubuka.B2 (Folding Stock), Tubuka.B3 (5.45mm version), and the Tubuka.S (Sniper variant).
