СР-2
[[Russian text|Russian]]: [b]СР-2 «Вереск»[/b] 

The SR-2 "Veresk" (Heather) [b]is a Russian [[submachine gun]][/b] designed to fire the [[body armor|armour]]-piercing 9×21mm Gyurza [[ammunition|cartridge]]. It was developed in mid-1990s on the request of Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB).

SR-2 differs from most submachine guns by its [b]gas-operated action with rotating bolt[/b], while normally SMGs utilise different blowback principles. Externally the "Veresk" is akin to the [[uzi|Uzi]]; 20 or 30-round magazines are inserted into the pistol grip. There are two [[kalashnikov rifle|AK]]-style control levers on both sides of the receiver: the right one is the safety switch, the left is a fire-mode selector. The charging handle is on the right side and is fixed to the bolt carrier, so it moves during firing. The weapon has a top-[[folding stock|folding metal stock]].

The SR-2M is a modified version that also has a [b]foldable [[vertical foregrip]] under the handguard[/b], with a protrusion to protect the shooter's hand from muzzle blast and accidents (similar to the grip on the MP5K). Its stock can be fully folded even with "red dot" sight installed.
