TKB-09 No. 1 (ТКБ-09 № 1) was a Soviet experimental fully automatic bullpup assault rifle chambered for the 5.45 x 39 mm round. The weapon underwent trials in December 1946. It's possible that this was the first bullpup assault rifle.

It used a bolt hooked to a steel cable attached to a spring in a tube above the barrel. The use of a steel cable in the TKB-09 No. 1 firearm action predated the AN-94.
