The Molot Arms VPO-209 .366 TKM carbine (VPO-209) is an assault carbine in Escape from Tarkov.

Description[]

The Molot VPO-209 carbine is based on the well-known Kalashnikov AKM and has an almost identical appearance, weight, and overall dimensions. It has a smooth bore barrel with the last 120 mm of the barrel being rifled (a so called "paradox"-bore). VPO-209 is chambered in .366 TKM, that together with the "paradox" rifling classifies the weapon as a shotgun under Russian law.

Trivia[]

  • These are usually surplus AKM rifles, Smooth-bored or entirely rebarreled to .366 (or 9.55mm) by a factory (such as Molot) which can then be certified, sold and registered under a shotgun license in Russia e.g. to hunters, which is much easier to obtain.
