It also didn’t stop there and then, they developed several successors, in the nineties the ASM-DT and more recently, in 2007, Tula developed the ADS, a modernized new design.

The ADS is capable of operating in two environments, under water, using a thin sabot bullet, which unlike the darts, is based on the 5.45mm cartridge, this newer round does not need a special rifle with an over-sized magazine. Here is a picture of the ASP (top) and ADS (bottom) rounds compared side by side.

Outside in the air, it discharges standard cartridges of the same 5.45mm caliber.

And in the end, a short video presentation of the Tula ADS!
