The K-3 is an Armenian assault rifle of bullpup design.

Unveiled in October 1996, the K-3 is based on the Kalashnikov design, in a bullpup configuration. Over 40 copies were built in Armenia in October 1996, though the weapon has not yet entered mass production.

Conceived by the Department of Military Industry of the Armenian Defense Department, the K-3 was produced with iron sights, but with the possibly of mounting a 4x scope, similar to to the PSO-1.

Due to the position of its ejection port, the K-3 can only be fired right-handed.

The muzzle of the barrel has an attachment for shooting rifle grenades. The majority of the weapons parts are made of hard nylon plastic, including a 30rd magazine based on the Kalashnikov design.
