The SN (Savin and Norov) was an aircraft machine gun manufactured in Russia during World War II. It fired the same 7.62x54mmR round used in the Mosin-Nagant rifle and with a rate of 3600RPM.

It was offered to the VVS, which rejected it in 1936. An exemplar could be seen (in 1996) at the Central Air Force Museum.

Overview

The SN was a gas-operated revolver action with the barrel and bolt moving in opposite directions for faster cycling, and is claimed to have achieved more than 3600rpm.
