The OTS-14 Groza is one of the strangest rifles to come out of post-Soviet Russia. Designed as a compact bullpup for special operations, it combined rifle, grenade launcher, and suppressed variants into a single platform that looked decades ahead of its time. In this video we break down the Groza’s history, why it was developed, how Russian forces actually employed it, and what made it such a unique—but ultimately niche—weapon.
We also dive into the ergonomics, different accessory configurations, and how the rifle performs on the range. From traditional Russian shooting techniques to how we’d run the platform today, we compare handling, recoil, reloads, and practical use while putting plenty of rounds through one of the rarest bullpups you’ll ever see. Huge thanks to Stuff & Things for making this review possible.
