96 Beryl by the Fabryka Broni in Radom and introduced into service with the Polish Armed Forces in 1997 under the military designation karabinek krótki wz.

89 Onyks in appearance, has deeper-seated threading used to screw the flash suppressor into the gas block (it has a lower volume decompression compartment).

The standard rear sight and front post are provided with luminescent dots to assist aiming in poor light conditions.

The weapon's gas block is longer than that of the Onyks and it features internal threading that is used to secure the muzzle device in place.

The carbine's bolt carrier and piston rod, gas cylinder, upper handguard and sighting system are identical to those used in the wz.

1989 Onyks, similarly, the receiver housing, dust cover trigger group and high-capacity magazine are the same as those in the wz.
