AK-94 is a 2-barelled period 94 gun that was found by Mike Playle on May 9, 2013.^[1]

In July 2014 Martin Grant found a 60-glider synthesis for the one-barreled gun, which can be trivially turned into a two-barreled gun by removing two gliders.^[2] On May 20, 2019, Jeremy Tan reduced this to 52 gliders for the one-barreled gun and 50 for the two-barreled version.^[3]
