RMO-93 "Rys-U", one of the civilian hunting variants - 12 gauge

The RMB-93 (also known as "Rys", meaning "Lynx") is a Russian pump-action shotgun conceived for close-quarter-combat with an action similar to the NeoStead 2000 Shotgun, as it is pumped forward-back rather than the usual back-forward, and the magazine located above the barrel. "RMB" is stands for Ruzhyo Magazinnoe Boevoe (Magazine-fed Combat Shotgun). The RMB-93 was one of the Russian combat shotguns designed for police but never widely used (although it found use in the Belarusian KGB Spetsnaz), however, it gained some popularity with the advent of civilian models in 1996.

Civilian RMB-93 models are known as RMO-93, Ruzhyo Magazinnoe Ohotnichye (Magazine-fed Hunting Shotgun). The RMO-93s were suggested for use in different configurations, with a variety of barrels and stocks, although magazine capacity is not adjustable. There was also an experimental underbarrel shortened version (in the spirit of the Knight's Armament Masterkey) for use with the 9A-91. In 2007, manufacture of all RMB-93 variants ceased, except for bespoke models still produced in small quantities.
