Looks like that may be from Beslan. You can probally tell by the camo the soldier is wearing. It looks like felcktarn.
Is that the terrorists who have blown themselves to pieces?

Some sources in Russia was saying, that there was use of RPO Shmel. And there was a discussion on mp.net about this matter

"GM-94 grenade launcher is a relatively recent development of famous Rusian KBP design bureau, located in the city of Tula. It is intended mostly for various Spetsnaz elements of Russian army, FSB (Federal Security service) and MVD (Internal Affairs Ministry). GM-94 is a weapon for urban warfare - its main goal is to provide troops with short and very short range weapon firing high explosive and non-lethal (tear gas) shells. It uses proprietary 43mm ammunition, available in several loadings, with non-fragmenting HE (FAE / thermobaric) warhead, les-lethal (tear gas canister or rubber slug), and several others. The key feature of HE warhead is that it is made mostly of plastic, and its primary kill effect is achieved by the blast (high temperature and high pressure). Kill radius is said to be about 3 meters, while safe standoff (minimal range of fire) range is only few meters more. Therefore, such ammunition can be safely used during room-to-room searches from very short range, without the danger of hitting the operator or his teammates with occasional fragments."
This is the VEPR-12 semi-auto shotgun based on the RPK. Made by the Vyatsky-Polyanny plant (www.molot.biz)

In what ways is the RPK different to a standard AK, other than the barrel and stock?
