The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia is switching to a new type of weaponry. Eight of the best pistols for the army and police Accounting for the implementation of practical tasks of the workshop

Russian police adopts new more powerful pistols designed by Yarygin 6P35 Grach and submachine guns PP-2000 Vityaz. The Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation claims that the rearmament is a logical continuation of the last year's reforms (renaming the police to the police). According to the representative of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the police will be armed with pistols and submachine guns, adapted specifically for firing in the city. The Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation believes that there is only one inconvenience in this rearmament - the need to train people to use this particular, fundamentally new weapon. The ability to shoot a Makarov pistol and a Kalashnikov assault rifle will not help here. Namely, these models of weapons have been in service with the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Defense for decades. This was convenient: the commanders could be sure that a young policeman who had served in the army would be able to shoot from a Kalashnikov assault rifle or a Makarov pistol. After re-equipment, it will take weeks and months to retrain the employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Submachine guns "Vityaz" and pistols "Rook" - brand new powerful weapon, besides, there are only eight cartridges in the Makarov pistol magazine, while the Grach pistol has seventeen, which is also a significant advantage.

The process of rearmament in the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation will be divided into stages. At the first stage, the rearmament of the police special forces of the special forces began (the first pistols of the new Grach design were received by the fighters of the Moscow special forces). Police Major General Vyacheslav Khaustov, head of the Special Forces Center of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation for Moscow, promised that the staff of the center special purpose will switch to the use of a new, more convenient pistol Yarygin "Grach", in as soon as possible.

In the near future, it is also planned to replace the outdated Kalashnikov assault rifle with a more modern and more powerful weapon. According to the plan, the PP-2000 "Vityaz" - a fundamentally new powerful automatic weapon caliber 9mm (for a Kalashnikov assault rifle, caliber 5.45 mm). PP-2000 "Vityaz" has a number of advantages over the Kalashnikov assault rifle - PP-2000 "Vityaz" has: greater accuracy of fire, increased penetration, greater damaging effect (a wound from a 9mm bullet is much more serious than from 5.45 mm), magazine capacity mind PP-2000 "Vityaz" 44 cartridges instead of 30 for the Kalashnikov assault rifle, the rate of fire of the PP-2000 "Vityaz" is higher than that of the AKSu-74.

It is for these reasons, according to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, that the Grach pistol and the PP-2000 Vityaz submachine gun are more suitable for them than the Makarov pistol and the Kalashnikov assault rifle.

At the Izhevsk Mechanical Plant, the development of the Grach pistol was carried out by a design team led by lead engineer Vladimir Yarygin, who was known as a designer of sports pistols. Developed with his direct participation, the standard small-caliber pistol IZH-35 (since 1986 - IZH-35M) has been mass-produced at the Izhevsk Mechanical Plant since 1978. With a pistol of this model, the leading shooters of the national team of the Soviet Union / Russia won a number of top titles at the championships of the world, Europe and Olympic Games.

During the development of the design, the main attention was paid to achieving high reliability characteristics. And therefore, most of the incorporated design solutions are among the traditional ones. Automation works on the principle of barrel recoil with a short stroke, locking - by skew of the barrel due to the cam groove located in the lower part of the barrel, located on the barrel protrusion, interacting with the shutter stop axis. The locking of the barrel is carried out due to the entry of the protrusion on the breech breech into the extraction window. The frame of the pistol is steel. The trigger mechanism is of the trigger type, with a compression mainspring and self-cocking. The double-sided safety lever is located on the frame. When turned on, the percussion mechanism can be blocked both in the cocked and in the deflated state. In the "protection" position, the sear, trigger, hammer and bolt are blocked. The possibility of blocking the firing mechanism in the cocked state allows the first shot to be fired after the fuse is turned off with a small trigger force, which helps to increase the probability of hitting the first shot. The ejector, which protrudes noticeably above the surface of the bolt when a cartridge is sent into the chamber, simultaneously serves as an indicator of the presence of a cartridge.

Cartridge supply - from a two-row magazine for 17 rounds, fixed by a latch located on the left side of the frame, under thumb right hand. If necessary, it can be remounted on the right side of the frame.

The 6P35 pistol has a barrel 114.5 mm long, dimensions 190x140x38 mm, unloaded weight 1.00 kg.

Disassembly of the gun for cleaning and lubrication in the field is carried out without a special tool: for this, it is necessary to sequentially separate: magazine, stop the shutter, move forward - from the frame of the shutter with the barrel and return mechanism.

How has it become traditional for the Russian small arms, the choice of a pistol for rearmament Russian army passed on a competitive basis. Izhevsk "Rook" passed competitive tests with a sample developed at the Central Research Institute of Precision Engineering (Klimovsk, Moscow Region). At the research site of the Ministry of Defense of Russia, the samples were tested for service life, failure-free operation in normal and difficult conditions (shooting without lubrication, at temperatures from minus 50 to plus 50 degrees Celsius, in dusty conditions, in rain). The total amount of tests in difficult conditions amounted to almost 1.5 thousand shots. As a result, the Izhevsk model met most of the strict requirements of the army. The effectiveness of the shooting was evaluated by the fighters of the FSB unit. When performing the exercises of the FSB shooting course with a new pistol, 65 percent of the participants completed them with "excellent" and "good" marks. In general, the Yarygin design sample demonstrated its advantages over the competing design and was recommended for adoption by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Federal Security Service and the Russian Army, but so far it has been adopted only by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation,

According to their consumer qualities and technical specifications pistol MP443 "Rook" of the Izhevsk Mechanical Plant is at the most modern level, and in some parameters is superior Western counterparts.

Submachine gun PP-2000 "Vityaz"

The PP-2000 submachine gun was developed at the Instrument Design Bureau (KBP) in Tula, Russia, and was first shown to the public in 2004, although a patent for its design was registered as early as 2001. The PP-2000 is obviously intended to be either a self-defense weapon for military personnel (PDW), or as a melee weapon for special operations forces, both army and police / militia, primarily for operations in the city. PP-2000 is made extremely compact and lightweight, with a minimum number of parts and a simple design, providing simple operation and low cost. The ability to use high-power armor-piercing ammunition 7N21 and 7N31, originally developed for the GSh-18 pistol, allows the PP-2000 to be used to fight enemies in personal protective equipment (helmets, bulletproof vests), as well as to effectively hit targets inside cars. At the same time, compared to small-caliber counterparts produced in Western countries, such as the Belgian 5.7mm FN P90 or the German 4.6mm HK MP-7, the PP-2000, thanks to the use of 9mm bullets, provides greater effectiveness against targets not protected by body armor. Currently, the PP-2000 is already in mass production and is entering service with the forces of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The PP-2000 submachine gun is built on the basis of automatic blowback. Fire from the PP-2000 is fired from a closed bolt, trigger mechanism. The body of the submachine gun is made of plastic with a pistol grip and an enlarged trigger guard, which, if necessary, can hold the weapon with two hands. The bolt protrudes from the body above the barrel, in its front part there is a cocking handle deflected to the right or left. The magazine is inserted into the pistol grip, the magazine latch button is located at the base of the trigger guard. Translator - the fuse is located on the left side of the weapon, above the pistol grip, and provides firing both single shots and bursts. A distinctive feature of the PP-2000, protected by a patent, is a slot for a spare magazine in the back of its case. With a magazine inserted into this socket, it can be used as a rudimentary shoulder rest (butt). Modern serial versions of the PP-2000 are equipped with a detachable side-folding butt, which is installed in the socket for a spare magazine. On the upper surface of the receiver cover, a Picatinny rail is made, which allows you to install various additional sighting devices on the corresponding brackets.

The term "domestic sniper rifle" until recently was associated with the SVD, which was put into service in 1963 and designed for use in a large-scale armed conflict. But time passes, the nature of hostilities changes, the tasks facing snipers change and supplement, and, accordingly, the requirements for their weapons change and supplement, which entails a change in their designs. Small-sized, maneuverable models with high combat qualities, reliable and easy to handle, which make it possible to conduct effective fire in any terrain conditions, are being put into service.

Question 2 Ammunition for special weapons In most cases, all weapons are designed for a specific ammunition, and not ammunition for weapons. Therefore, it is not special weapons that deserve special attention, since the principle of their design and the operation of automation are almost identical with samples of conventional (army) small arms, but ammunition for special weapons.

The following types of ammunition can be used for shooting from special weapons: - Ordinary cartridges with a bullet with a steel or lead core; - tracer cartridges; - Incendiary cartridges; - Sniper cartridges; - Armor-piercing cartridges; - Armor-piercing incendiary cartridges; - Special ammo.

Pistol and revolver cartridges accepted for equipment in Russia 7.62 x 25 mm pistol P, P-41, PT The 7.63 mm Mauser cartridge was created in 1896 for the Mauser S96 self-loading pistol. The cartridge had considerable power, when firing from the already mentioned Mauser, punching through a 12 cm pine board at a distance of 150 meters. A light (5.51 gram) bullet developed an initial velocity of about 430 m / s with a muzzle energy of about 510 Joules. A light (5.51 gram) bullet developed an initial velocity of about 430 m / s with a muzzle energy of about 510 Joules.

9 x 18-mm pistol SP.7, SP.8, PBM SP.7 - Designed for firing in various climatic conditions from military weapons, has an increased stopping effect SP.8 - Designed for firing in various climatic conditions from military weapons, with the need for minimal destruction of low-strength barriers. In recent years, this cartridge began to be produced in the variant with a semi-shelled expansive bullet, in the 9 x 18 PBM variant with a bullet of increased penetration

9 x 18-mm PMM pistol In the 90s, the cartridge and pistol were modernized and received the names PMM-M and PMM, respectively. Such a cartridge cannot be fired from the old Makarov pistols. Standard military ammunition is loaded with a jacketed bullet weighing 6 g. There is a bullet with a heat-strengthened steel core weighing 5.4 g, which penetrates 3 mm steel plate at a distance of 20 meters. 9mm modernized high-pulse cartridge (57-N-181SM), which, not differing in size from the 9mm cartridge for the Makarov pistol, has an increased penetrating and stopping effect (approximately at the level of the cartridge 9 x 19mm Par.). Currently, variants of the standard cartridge with expansive and tracer bullets are also being worked out.

9 x 21 mm pistol SP.10 (11, 12, 13) Special purpose cartridge. Sometimes the developer index (TsNIIToch Mash) - RG052 is used to designate it. The cartridge was created for the Vector pistol (also known under the export name Gyurza) and is designed to combat targets protected by bulletproof vests or barriers such as a car body. To increase penetration, an increased bullet speed is used with a high-strength tungsten carbide core exposed in the nose. The SP-10 cartridge has the following characteristics: bullet weight, grams, muzzle velocity m/s, muzzle energy Joules.

Cartridges for special weapons accepted for equipment in Russia 7.62 x 35 mm SP-3, PZAM, SP-4 Special cartridges are the smallest in circulation, but perhaps the most diverse category of cartridges used not only in samples of special small arms , but also in all kinds of shooting devices designed for use in special conditions.

7.62 x 35 mm SP-3 In the early 1960s, the SP-2 cartridge underwent modernization: the old pusher bullet was replaced with an ordinary PS bullet from a 7.62 mm submachine gun cartridge. The new telescopic pusher, which took over the functions of the piston, remained in the sleeve after the shot. The geometry of the cartridge case has not changed much, but the increase in the mass of the bullet slightly reduced its initial speed. The new ammunition received the index SP-3. The most widely used are two samples firing SP-2 and SP-3 cartridges: a small-sized double-barreled pistol MSP and a special knife of the NRS reconnaissance. SME

7.62 x 35 mm SP-4 In 1983, a new silent Vul complex was adopted, which includes a 7.62 mm PSS self-loading pistol and an SP-4 cartridge. The new ammunition was a further development of the SP-2 and SP-3. By design, it is closer to the older SP-2, but the piston rests directly on the bullet, which is a hard alloy cylinder with a brass leading belt in front. To increase the stopping effect, the head of the bullet is made flat, which does not significantly affect its ballistics at short firing distances. PSS

9 x 39 mm SP-5 9 x 39 mm SP-6 SP-5 - designer N. Zabelin. Created on the basis of the cartridge case 7.62 mm mod of the year at TsNIIToch Mash. The bullet has a lead core. Characterized by high manufacturing precision. It is used in VSS (6P29), AS (6P30), 9A91 and Vikhra (SR-3), VSK-94 sniper rifle, OTs-14 Groza shooting and grenade launcher system. SP-6 - designer N. Frolov. Just like the SP-5, it was created on the basis of a 7.62 mm cartridge case. The bullet has a tungsten carbide core. Used in the same weapon as the SP-5. Produced by the Klimovsky stamping plant. VSSAS9A91 and Vikhre (SR-3) VSK-94OTs-14 "Groza" VSSAS9A91 and Vikhre (SR-3) VSK-94OTs-14 "Groza"

For a long time there has been talk about the need to replace the obsolete PM pistol. Back in the 80s, the development of a promising pistol on the theme "Rook" was started. Samples of weapons were created that met the requirements of the military. These were SPS, GSh-18, PYa pistols and a modernized Makarov PMM pistol.

The PMM pistol used 9x18 mm PMM cartridges with a lightweight conical bullet and an increased powder charge, the SPS pistol used powerful cartridges with an armor-piercing bullet 9x21 mm (the cartridge is made on the basis of a regular 9x18 mm cartridge case), GSh-18 and PYa use 9x19 mm Para cartridges, more precisely, their Russian counterparts 7N21 and 7N31 with increased bullet penetration. Let's delve into history to understand the tasks assigned to Russian gunsmiths.

First, let's go back to the post-war competition for a new pistol for the army and police of the USSR.

The Nagant revolver was adopted back in tsarist Russia and by the beginning of the Second World War was considered an obsolete model. In the Nagant, cartridges with a cylindrical bullet recessed into the sleeve with a low penetrating and stopping effect were used. The advantages of the revolver were the simplicity and reliability of the design, the subsonic speed of the bullet and the ability to use a silencer, the absence of a breakthrough of powder gases between the drum and the barrel due to pushing the drum onto the barrel, fairly high accuracy and accuracy of fire at a distance of up to 50 m. The disadvantages include a weak cartridge and the inconvenience of reloading a 7-drum charging drum.

The Russian police are abandoning the PM pistol and switching to the Glock 44 pistol developed to its requirements. The first deputy head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Alexander Gorovoy, said: “The Makarov pistol used today is morally obsolete. It is heavy, uncomfortable, has a small magazine, and has not met the requirements for a long time. policemen. However, there was still nothing to replace him."

Indeed, back in the mid-90s, it was planned that the PM would be replaced by the OTs-01 "Cobalt" revolver, developed by I.Ya. Stechkin, but its large-scale production could not be established for economic reasons. The license for "Cobalt" was sold to Kazakhstan, where it is produced for local law enforcement officers. And their Russian colleagues had no alternative to Makarov.

The policeman recalls: “In 2008, they decided to switch to the Yarygin pistol, but the army pistol turned out to be difficult for the police: not everyone could master the assembly and disassembly, some details were constantly lost ... The Rooks did not fit into the well-developed supply system from -for cartridges and no holsters that did not fit into it. Police officers had to buy them with their own money. In 2013, we turned to an Austrian company with a proposal to develop a pistol to our requirements, and the Austrians met us halfway ... "

Specialists of the Russian company Orsis, which will become the manufacturer, participated in the development. Pistols of the Glock brand are already being produced at a plant near Moscow. Since the pistol was developed jointly and its production was established in Russia, there is no reason for it to fall under anti-Russian sanctions.

The Glock 28 was taken as the basis for the development of the pistol. The pistol uses automatic blowback, it is similar to the PM in ease of handling. However, the Glock 44 looks somewhat unusual: the shape of the polymer frame follows the contours of the Makarov pistol. This was the requirement of the Ministry of Internal Affairs: so the Glock 44 can be worn in a standard police holster. The double-row magazine holds 12 rounds, as opposed to 9 rounds in the PM. Ammunition is similar: Glock 44 will be the first Austrian-designed pistol using 9 * 18 cartridges. The curb weight of the Glock-44 is only 685 grams, and in this parameter it is lighter than even an unloaded Makarov pistol. This year, Russian police officers will receive a Glock 44.

All the qualities of a modern tactical pistol are especially evident in close combat. Impressive power and a compact format allow you to effectively maneuver between obstacles and work in tight spaces.

This collection brings together the best new and old models, from newfangled handguns chambered in obscure calibers to the battle-tested M1911 or M9 models.

FN Five-seven

For the tasks faced by special forces - the release of hostages, the elimination of criminals, etc., it is preferable to use various kinds of rifles. But if space does not allow, or you have to run through confusing corridors, then a pistol is the best choice. Yes, the lethal force of such weapons is much lower than that of a rifle, but FN tried to reduce this gap.

is a tactical semi-automatic pistol that was developed in 1998 for use by NATO forces. A few years ago, NATO wanted to replace 9mm pistols with more powerful weapons, and their choice fell on the 5.7x28mm caliber. This pistol has become an addition to the revolutionary P90 submachine gun. It is very light, it has a roomy magazine, ambidextral control, weak recoil force, and when using a certain cartridge, this weapon can pierce body armor.

The FN Five-seven is a serious, thoughtful, reliable, functional, and very easy to handle pistol. The 5.7x28mm cartridge is equally effective in close and long-range combat, and the bullet has exceptional damaging properties. The gun is a little big, but very light, so carrying it will not bring inconvenience.

Yes, 5.7mm caliber is unlikely to replace 9mm or .45, but there are tasks in which no other caliber simply compares to it.

The company is best known for its exceptional customization of the M1911 pistols and AR-like rifles designed for competition and self-defense. But the company is also refining Beretta pistols. Anyone can send their M9A1 military model, or civilian 92 or 96 model to them, which Wilson Combat will turn into sweetie.

Ernest Langdon, who has been involved with Beretta pistols for 30 years, is helping the company in this endeavor and is a pioneer in the development of parts for high-performance Model 92 variants.

The HK45 pistol is an excellent choice for those who prefer pistols chambered in .45 ACP. But the HK45 Tactical is even better, because its barrel has a silencer thread. And unlike the HK45, which is only available in black, this model is available in three colors: black, brown and khaki.

The HK45 Tactical was developed to compete in the US Army's Joint Service Pistol competition, which aims to replace the Beretta M9 with a new pistol chambered in .45 ACP. But later, this competition was replaced by another - "Modular Handgun System".

This pistol differs from the USP and MK23 in improved ergonomics and an ambidextrous slide stop button. It also has a much more comfortable grip and an interchangeable back of the grip frame.

The action of automation is based on the recoil of the barrel, the frame is polymer, and the guides and trigger parts are made of German steel. Shutter housing, barrel and magazine are made in Germany. The manufacturer guarantees a minimum service life of at least 20 thousand shots.

Started production of an improved M11 model, which in turn is a modification of the P228 pistol, designed for the US Army. It is used by agencies such as NCIS, DCIA, USACIDC, as well as the US military aviation.

The M11 model differs from the P228 in having a slightly shorter barrel and breechblock (by 1.57 cm), as well as a handle, which reduced the magazine capacity from 15 to 13 rounds. The trigger guard, on the contrary, is elongated and rounded in front.

The new model M11-A1 differs from the M11 not only in the country of origin (USA and Germany). The main differences are that in the German M11 the shutter casing is soldered from separate carbon parts, and in the M11-A1 it is made of a single piece of stainless steel, the extractor of the German model is internal, the American one is external, third generation. The list of advantages of the American model also includes an enlarged magazine (by 15 rounds versus 13), a phosphate coating of internal parts, as well as a Short Reset Trigger trigger.

As a result of all the improvements, we got a high-quality, accurate, durable, convenient and reliable pistol that easily handles +P cartridges.

In 2011, Rob Anger, the owner of Roberts Defense, had a burning desire to make a quality pistol based on the M1911, using only premium American parts. The Recon Pro model, made of light alloy and a set of unique characteristics, showed that Rob was on the right track.

Pistol frames are made from 7076-T6 extruded aluminum. Then an anodized coating and two layers of Teflon are applied to it. Thanks to this, the gun receives a durable shell with anti-friction characteristics. The fit of the bolt housing to the frame is simply impressive, thanks to the tight tolerances, there is not the slightest hint of play between these parts. Recon Pro can hardly be called mass - it is rather an exclusive model.

- the oldest arms manufacturer in the United States, this company has been on the market for almost 200 years. Thanks to its outstanding quality and reliability, this brand of weapons has earned a serious reputation among the Americans, and the company has become the largest manufacturer of rifles and shotguns (and ammunition).

However, with the exception of the Civil War revolver and the M1911 pistol, which were produced by the Remington subsidiaries UMC and Remington Rand during the First and Second World Wars, Remington was never considered a prominent manufacturer of handguns.

In light of the anniversary of the adoption of the M1911 model by the US Army, the company decided to release the R1 model. This is a classic, full-size, semi-automatic pistol chambered for the classic powerful .45 ACP cartridge. This was followed by a stainless steel model and the R1 Enhanced tactical model with silencer threads.

At the shooting range, when shooting with conventional and expansive cartridges, the pistol showed its best side - not a single hitch. Shooting from a benchrest at 25 yards managed to get the group down to 1.25 inches.
