This video examines the preproduction wz.89 Onyx, a compact "SMG" variant of the Polish Tantal rifle developed by the Radom factory. Following the adoption of the Tantal in 5.45mm, the Onyx aimed to create a shorter weapon. The presented model features a top cover permanently attached to the rear sight block, similar to the AKS-74U. This design was short-lived, with a subsequent iteration featuring a removable top cover. Ultimately, only around 200 Onyx firearms were produced before the program's discontinuation due to the collapse of the Polish Communist government. The video also references the wz.88 Tantal and provides links to firearms reference books and the channel's Patreon and merch.
