The 5.45 mm subkarabinek wz. 1989 Onyks is a lightweight Polish short variant of the 5.45 mm wz. 1988 Tantal assault rifle, also based on the AKS-74U. Work on the weapon began in 1989 at the Ośrodek Badawczo-Rozwojowy state research institute in the city of Radom. The weapon's technical specifications were confirmed that same year. It was not until 1990 that production approval was given for the first prototypes, evaluated the following year in a series of military qualification tests resulting in an order for an initial pre-production batch in 1993, to be manufactured at the Łucznik Arms Factory in Radom.
