Historical profile
The KH2002 was unveiled in 2003 as a pilot project to provide Iran's armed forces with a domestic bullpup rifle while retaining the AR-15 mechanics of the S-5.56 line.
Production was limited by ergonomic and reliability issues, yet the rifle still equips security units, paratroopers and parts of the IRGC.
