A - 91 The A - 91 bullpup assault rifle " ( also known as A - 91M ) " was developed during the 1990s by KBP ( Instrument Design Bureau ) in Tula , as an offspring of the A - 91 family of compact assault rifles described in the 9A - 91 article . While the A - 91 retains the basic gas - operated , rotating bolt action and a trigger unit design from 9A - 91 , it features a bullpup polymer housing , with an integral 40 mm single - shot grenade launcher mounted under the barrel . The earliest prototypes of the A - 91 bullpup were fitted with the grenade launcher above the barrel , and with a front vertical foregrip ; current models are fitted with the underbarrel launcher , which also serves as a forearm . The A - 91 features a forward ejection system , initially developed in Tula by designers like Afanasiev during the early 1960s . In this system , the ejection port is located above the pistol grip , and points forward . Extracted cases are fed from bolt head through the short ejection tube to the ejection port , and fall out of the gun well clear of the shooter ' s face , even when firing from the left shoulder . As for now , the A - 91 is made in small number and , probably , is used by some elite law enforcement units in Russia ; it is also offered for export and domestic military and police sales .

After the disastrous defeat for the Crusaders in the Siege of Xerigordon , two Turkish spies spread a rumor that the Germans who had taken Xerigordon had also taken Nicaea , which caused excitement to get there as soon as possible to share in the looting . Of course , the Turks were waiting on the road to Nicaea . Peter the Hermit had gone back to Constantinople to arrange for supplies and was due back soon , and most of the leaders argued to wait for him to return ( which he never did ) . However , Geoffrey Burel , who had taken command , argued that it would be cowardly to wait , and they should move against the Turks right away . His will prevailed and , on the morning of October 21 , the entire army of 20 , 000 marched out toward Nicaea , leaving women , children , the old and the sick behind at the camp . Three miles from the camp , where the road entered a narrow , wooded valley near the village of Dracon , the Turkish army was waiting . When approaching the valley , the crusaders marched noisily and were immediately subjected to a hail of arrows . Panic set in immediately and within minutes , the army was in full rout back to the camp . Most of the crusaders were slaughtered ( upwards of 60 , 000 by some accounts ) ; however , women , children , and those who surrendered were spared . Three thousand , including Geoffrey Burel , were able to obtain refuge in an abandoned castle . Eventually the Byzantines under Constantine Katakalon sailed over and raised the siege ; these few thousand returned to Constantinople , the only survivors of the People ' s Crusade .
