About
What it is, and why it matters
The Baikal MP-94 (formerly IZh-94) is a Russian break-action over/under combination gun mating a rifled barrel and a smoothbore shotgun barrel on a Browning-style boxlock action derived from the IZh-27M. Fired by twin triggers and fitted with iron sights plus a scope rail, it is offered from small-bore .22/20-gauge 'Sever' models up to 12-gauge over high-power centerfire rifle calibers.
Conceived in 1992 as the combination-gun successor to the IZh-27 and built on that proven boxlock over/under platform, the IZh-94 gave budget-minded hunters a Russian-made alternative to costly European drillings.
Renamed from IZh-94 to MP-94 in the September 2008 Izhevsk re-branding. Barrel stacking is configuration dependent: small-bore Sever models place the rifle barrel on top over a 20-gauge, while high-power models place the 12-gauge shotgun on top over the rifle barrel. Rifle barrel offered in .222 Rem, .223 Rem, 5.6x39, 6.5x55 SE, 7.62x39, .308 Win and .30-06.

Trajectory
What the round does downrange
Solved from the muzzle figures and the bullet. The dashed rule is the effective range on the record, and the crosses are the steps the solver returned.
No load solved for this record yetThe flight path is computed from a cartridge and a bullet. This record has no ammunition filed against its chambering, so there is nothing to solve.
