Weapons used by the TsSN FSB of the Russian Federation

The main feature of the weapons of the Anti-Terrorism and Intelligence Centers of the FSB is the supply of military personnel with some foreign copies.

Previously, many said that the FSB TsSN was arming itself with captured items. Today, this news can be refuted. Now the ministry has a number of sponsors, which supply foreign weapons.

But to say that the FSB is really armed mainly with NATO models is stupid, because They are armed with only a small number of foreign sniper rifles, shotguns and a few types of pistols.

According to some reports, since 2010, the FSB has refused to use foreign submachine guns and terminated a contract with a well-known European military corporation to supply Sig Sauer brand pistols to Russia, considering them not so effective. In addition, the famous “Rooks” (Yarygin Pistols) rushed en masse to replace them.

Below are the weapons of the TsSN FSB of the Russian Federation. (I’ll add shotguns later!)

(!) I didn't add underwater weapons. I think that it is not needed for modeling, and you won’t find such airsoft samples unless you order them.

EQUIPMENT USED BY TsSN FSB RF

""TsSN FSB RF"""

It is worth starting a discussion of the topic in 2004, from the moment of the tragedy in Beslan.

Since then, a large amount of video and photographic material has appeared on the Internet, indicating the tactics, dexterity, equipment and weapons of the TsSN FSB of the Russian Federation.

There is enough material about this department to do modeling. More information can only be found in the archives of the department itself.

Let's highlight only the brightest moments

As you know, the FSB includes three departments. A, B and C (read as “ES”, not “C”).

The departments of Alpha and Vympel took part in the release of the hostages.

Let's look at control equipment "A":

Uniform: KLMV "Partizan" (Frog) in the "SS-Summer" coloring, uniform in the Woodland coloring.

Shoes - Crispy.

Armor protection:

Helmets - "Altyn", "Lynx" and TIG.

Body armor from "FORT Technologies", models "OK DEFENDER", "Redut M" and "Redut T5".

Unloading: RPS "Smersh".

Armament - AK74S, AKMS, VALs, VSSs, SR-3 "Whirlwind", "Aglen", "Shmel".

Lobaev's sniper rifles, OVL and SVL, which had just entered service, were used for the first time.

Let's consider control "B".

Form: KLMV "Partizan" (Frog) in the colors "Dusk" and "Mabuta" Glass.

Shoes - Crispy.

Armor protection: Helmets - Lynx, TIG and Altyn.

Body armor - FORT models "OK DEFENDER".

Unloading: Alloy breastplates not considered by us and several fighters wearing SSO "Jagers" with brakes.

Armament - AK74S, AKMS, "Aglen", "Shmel".

Since Directorate “A” has sponsorship, but Directorate “B” does not, the equipment of Directorate “B” has survived to this day practically unchanged.

Therefore, further we will consider only the equipment of Directorate “A”, as being of the greatest interest to us.

2005 - 2007.

The form changes constantly:

Black, Gorki-R, KLMK "Beryozka" (.....) KLMV "Partizan" in the color "SS-Summer", KLMV "Partizan" in the color "Dusk", Woodland, "Vertical", Multicam.

Perhaps 2008 can be called a turning point in the supply of Directorate “A”.

Sponsors have finally arrived!

This explains to us the appearance of outlandish equipment that is not typical for domestic special forces. The AK series has undergone modernization and began to be massively “hung” with RIS forends and receiver linings. MAGPUL CTR stocks with SWAT ARMS adapters and the like, holographic sights EoTech 551 and 552 TDI tactical grips appeared.

By the way, the name “Pokemon” came from the pennant.

Let's remember the shooting competition among special forces officers, dedicated to the tenth anniversary of the TsSN FSB of Russia. September 2008

Clothing - Assault overalls from SRVV.

Shoes- Crispy, BatesAndAltama.

Body armor - FORT's "OK DEFENDER" and "Redoubt" (since special orders with individual fit were sent, it is not possible to distinguish "Redoubt T5" from "Redoubt M").

Unloading: Molle platforms from CAMELBAK, BlackHawk and SRVV. The KZ mall platforms we use with Default are an exact copy (not a replica, but a copy) of the BlackHawk platforms, with the only difference being that there are no BlackHawk checks and the cost is almost 4 times less.

Armament (not specifically at competitions, but from the 2008 period) - AK74S, VALs, VSSs, Vikhri, PYA, SVL/OVL.

2009 - 20010.

Shoes- Crispy, BatesAndAltama.

Helmets - Altyn, LShZ-2DT, LShZ-2DT M, Mask-4.

Unloading: Mall platforms from BlackHawk, SRVV and SSO.

Armament - AK74S, VALs, VSSs, Vikhri, PYA, SVL/OVL.

The AK103 and AK104 were also put into service.

Let's sum it up.

Since we are not yet modeling a specific time period, the presence of equipment from different years is allowed for now.

In terms of equipment that is suitable in terms of quality and convenience, as well as actually used, we can list:

Clothing - Assault overalls from SRVV and French Nomex black and blue overalls, Multicam from CRYE PRECISION (for the contingent operating in Dagestan), KLMV "Partizan" in the colors "Twilight" and "SS-Summer", Gorka-R, Gorka-D, Good old "Flora" is back.

Shoes- Crispy, BatesAndAltama.

Helmets - Altyn, LSHZ-2 DT, LSHZ-2 DT M (" Volcano"), Mask-4.

Body armor - FORT models "OK DEFENDER" and "Redoubt" (since there were special orders with an individual fit, it is not possible to distinguish "Redoubt T5" from "Redoubt M").

Armored suits - fire-heat-resistant overalls FORT "Pyton", anti-fragmentation overalls "Falcon" and FORT "Reid-L".

Armor shields - VANT LM and VANT LM from FORT Technologies.

Unloading: Mall platforms from CAMELBAK, BlackHawk, SRVV and SSO.

Armament - AK74S, VALs, VSSy, Vikhri, PYA, SVL/OVL, AK103 and AK104.

Radio station operating in the range 400-470 MHz

Late the night before, an emergency occurred in the capital's subway involving a security officer. According to preliminary data, an FSB officer used his service weapon during a quarrel with a man in the Moscow metro, reports RIA News. As it became known, at about 11:20 pm at the Varshavskaya metro station, a man who had an FSB officer’s ID had an argument with a drunk man and during the quarrel fired his service pistol at the floor, but the bullet ricocheted and wounded the man in the leg.

Let us recall that another high-profile case involving the use traumatic weapons happened quite recently. In mid-March, as a result of a conflict between two men in the Moscow metro, a traumatic pistol young woman.

In the evening, two men quarreled in a subway car. When they stepped onto the platform at the Timiryazevskaya station, one of them sprayed a gas can into his opponent’s face. In response, he fired from a Strazhnik traumatic pistol and hit the owner of the canister tangentially in the hand. A rubber bullet ricocheted into the leg of a girl who happened to be nearby. Both participants in the conflict were detained by the police. The victim was hospitalized.

As it later turned out, the person who fired the traumatic pistol in the Moscow metro is an employee of the public order department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. An investigation is being carried out both by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the metro police. The department employee has been suspended from official duties for the duration of the investigation.

At the end of April, the Interdistrict Investigation Department of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for Novosibirsk region opened a criminal case against a policeman suspected of shooting a group of young people with a traumatic weapon in the city of Iskitim on April 25. The incident occurred at about 6.00 near a cafe, where an employee of the patrol service of the local police department was spending time with his friend. According to investigators, a verbal altercation took place in a cafe between a policeman and a group of young people, which ended in shooting: on the street, the policeman took out his personal Osa traumatic pistol, loaded with rubber bullets, and shot his offenders.

As a result, two people aged 17 and 19 years were injured. Three bullets hit one of them, one bullet hit the other. One of the victims had to be hospitalized in intensive care. The suspected policeman told investigators that he used the weapon in self-defense. The internal affairs bodies are currently conducting an internal investigation into him. The investigation did not choose a preventive measure for him.

In early April, in the evening in St. Petersburg, an incident occurred involving a local police officer and a shuttle bus driver. A district police officer of the 2nd police department of the Admiralteysky District Department of Internal Affairs of St. Petersburg was injured as a result of a fight with a minibus driver, whom he tried to stop for violating traffic rules. maneuver." According to the Central Internal Affairs Directorate, the policeman who was on duty "tried to stop the bus driver in order to call the traffic police squad and record the fact of violation of the rules, but he did not stop and continued driving, making dangerous maneuvers." Then the district police officer took out a traumatic pistol and fired several shots at bus wheels.

Another incident involving the use of weapons by police officers occurred at the end of March. As reported in law enforcement agencies capital, the post of the Bibirevo police station, located on Muranovskaya Street, was fired at 2.50 from a traumatic pistol. A total of four shots were fired. After this, the attackers tried to escape in a Mitsubishi Lancer. Police officers and private security officers took part in their arrest. When the car was blocked on Prishvina Street, two guys ran away, and two girls remained in the foreign car and were detained. The police caught up with the offenders. One of them tried to hide a pistol in a snowdrift during the chase. The detainee turned out to be a student of the financial academy - a lieutenant of one of the police units.

In Moscow in Lately Crimes involving the use of traumatic weapons have become more frequent. In December 2009, a snowplow driver was killed with a traumatic pistol in Moscow. Police Lieutenant Colonel Anatoly Maurin was detained on suspicion of committing a crime.

In Russia, crimes related to the use of traumatic weapons have recently become more frequent. Many of them end in death.

The head of the licensing and permitting department of the department for the protection of public order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, Major General of Police Leonid Vedenov, noted that in Russia people die from the use of traumatic weapons more people than from a hunting one. The Ministry of Internal Affairs proposes to tighten the turnover of “traumatic weapons” so that it is comparable to the turnover of firearms.

Special units of the FSB of Russia such as TsSN (Center special purpose as part of Directorates “A”, “B” and “USO”), various ROSNs (Regional Special Purpose Department) are often forced to work very delicately. A terrorist who has taken civilians hostage, or a bandit who is hiding in a house after another “case,” or militants of the ISIS group banned in the Russian Federation are sitting in an apartment and preparing “ hellish machines"for their atrocities in the name of the pseudo-caliphate... It is not particularly important for the FSB special forces who to "take", but for the successful implementation of the operation plan very often specific, silent methods are required... And here modern models of silent small arms.

For service special units The FSB of Russia today has such complexes as the special assault rifle AS "Val", the special sniper rifle VSS "Vintorez" chambered for 9x39 mm SP-5 and SP-6, the PSS "Vul" pistol chambered for the special silent cartridge SP-4 (due to " locking" of powder gases inside the cartridge case there is no flash and sound of a shot), the SR-3M assault rifle with a removable silencer, the SR-2M "Veresk" submachine gun chambered for a powerful 9x21 mm SP-10/11/12/13 cartridge and a line of modern Kalashnikov assault rifles with the possibility of installing PBS.

All these weapons have one thing in common - moral and physical aging. As you already know, on the territory of the Patriot Park in the Moscow region, the International Military-Technical Forum “Army-2017” was held in August 2017, which was very rich in new small arms. The Kalashnikov Concern (owner of a separate pavilion) presented newest sample silent machine gun for special units AMB-17 chambered for 9x39 mm cartridge similar to “Val” and “Vintorez”. The FSB became interested in the new product.

Very little is known about the new machine yet. It is certain that it will become small-sized and lightweight, thanks to the widespread use of composite materials. In 2018, the new Kalashnikov development should enter state tests, and then until combat use near. It’s no secret that the most promising new small arms in our country are being “shot” and tested by employees of “Alpha” and “Vympel”

SPS pistol manufactured at the Mayak plant

The history of the creation of the SPS pistol begins with the development at the Klimovsky Central Research Institute of Precision Engineering (TSNIITOCHMASH) of a new pistol complex, which was supposed to surpass similar weapons, both foreign and domestic, in combat and service-operational qualities. The need for a pistol, radically different from the models of personal short-barreled weapons that were in service and used in the army, law enforcement agencies, special services and special forces, arose in the 1980s. The reason was the widespread introduction of lightweight personal protective equipment of various classes into the armed forces of most countries of the world. For example, a second-class body armor is capable of stopping 7.62 mm bullets with a steel core at close range when firing from a TT pistol and 9 mm bullets from a standard NATO cartridge when firing from Beretta pistol 92FS.

In addition to armies and law enforcement agencies, criminal and terrorist groups began to use body armor. When using body armor, as a rule, no more than 30% of the body is protected, however, the experience of combat use of personal weapons, especially by police, indicates that most fire contacts occur suddenly and pass quickly. In such conditions, when there is not enough time to accurately aim at vital organs, shooting is carried out on the body, which, in the case of using protective equipment, means the ability to survive or even return fire. Required new complex a weapon-cartridge that could effectively hit an enemy wearing personal protective equipment. In this case, the pistol had to have acceptable dimensions, weight and recoil force, and the bullet of the cartridge used had to have high penetration and stopping effect.

The widespread use of body armor was not the only reason began developing new weapons. The entire weapon system Soviet Union was based on the concept of large-scale military operations against NATO countries. The main tasks were assigned to rocket troops, aviation, tank troops, artillery and large motorized infantry units. Personal weapons were assigned one of recent roles. In particular, the Makarov pistol was created as a peacetime weapon, and in the event of the outbreak of hostilities, officers on the battlefield would still prefer a machine gun. This approach to small arms turned out to be wrong in the conditions of local and partisan warfare of the 1970-1980s.

Pistol Gyurza 055С

The fighting in Vietnam, the Arab-Israeli and various civil wars in African countries showed the enormous role of small arms and, in particular, personal weapons. The fighting took place with the participation of small infantry units, usually supported by artillery, aviation or tank fire. Guerrilla methods of warfare with surprise ambush attacks and short shooting distances became widespread. As a result, changes began to be made not only to the main rifle, but also to personal short-barreled weapon. By the end of the 1980s, new materials appeared in the weapons industry. Changes are being made to the design of pistols everywhere. In accordance with the new requirements, the pistol had to have constant combat readiness with safety in handling, high reliability of operation in difficult operating conditions, high firepower, convenience and ease of use and maintenance, and the cartridge used had high penetrating and stopping effect of the bullet.

In 1991, in accordance with the advanced tactical and technical requirements, the design team led by Pyotr Ivanovich Serdyukov created two prototypes of pistols, designated 6P35. A.B. Yuryev developed a 9×21 cartridge with high penetration and stopping power of the bullet, designated RG052. When designing the cartridge, it was assumed that it would be used both in a pistol and in a promising submachine gun. main feature and the advantage of this cartridge lies in the construction of the bullet, the upper part of the steel core of which protrudes from the jacket, which eliminates the loss of energy in penetrating it. The initial bullet speed is 420 m/s. As a result, a pistol cartridge bullet of medium power and size penetrates bullet protection equipment assault rifles. In 1993, modified versions of the pistol were created under the general name RG055. The difference lies in the shape and design of the frame and the bolt-casing, the increased thickness of the barrel walls and the shape sighting devices, receiving inserts made of light enamel.

Gyurza and Vector pistols - export samples

The improved pistol was adopted by various special forces of the FSB, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Internal Troops. These pistols are still in use today. Then an export version appeared - Model 055C GYURZA. It should be noted that the names “Gyurza” and “Vector” are not official and do not appear in decisions on the adoption of this or that version of the pistol for service. The cartridge was also modified and designated RG054. In 1996, the FSB special forces adopted an improved Serdyukov pistol under the name SR.1 (SR is short for special development) and a 9x21 cartridge under the symbol SP.10. Several changes were made to the design of the pistol.

Due to some changes in shape, the handle has become more comfortable. Thanks to the large horizontal notch on the front and rear surfaces, the diamond-shaped notch on the sides and the corrugation of the upper rear part of the handle, control over the weapon has increased while handling, aiming and shooting. The dimensions have increased somewhat, but at the same time the reliability of operation and the service life of the parts have increased. The bore is now chrome plated. The export modification was named RG060. The SP.10 cartridge with a bullet weighing 6.74 g, with a steel core, with an initial speed of 410 m/s and a muzzle energy of 566 J, is designed to destroy enemy personnel protected by personal protective equipment, consists of a heat-strengthened steel core, a polyethylene jacket and bimetallic shell. Penetration of second class body armor is ensured at a distance of up to 70 meters. New cartridges were created: SP.11 with a bullet with a lead core (bullet weight 7.9 g, starting speed 390 m/s); SP.12 with an expansive bullet; SP.13 with an armor-piercing tracer bullet.

For the new pistol, a barrel bore locking system using a swinging cylinder was chosen, which, due to the movement of the barrel along its axis, ensures high shooting accuracy. The return spring is located around the barrel and rests against a special part - the return spring stop. The frame consists of two main parts. The handle with the trigger guard is molded from impact-resistant plastic. The upper metal part combines a number of parts of the pistol and has guides for the movement of the bolt-casing. Trigger mechanism hammer type, double action, with safety cocking, but the trigger is not automatically placed on it. To fire a self-cocking shot, the trigger must first be set to the safety cock. To cock the hammer manually, the automatic handle safety must be turned off. If a misfire occurs during shooting, it is eliminated in a much more reliable way than re-puncture of the primer - by putting a new cartridge into the chamber.

The pistol has two automatic safeties. An automatic handle (lever) safety device, located on the rear surface of the handle, locks the sear. The automatic trigger safety protrudes from its front surface and blocks movement until the shooter's finger is pressed. Once all the cartridges have been used up, the bolt-casing stops the bolt (namely the bolt stop, not the bolt stop), and when a loaded magazine is attached, it is automatically removed from it and sends the cartridge into the chamber. Due to the lack of a slide stop lever, which most modern combat pistols have, to manually move the slide-casing to the forward position, you need to pull it back a little and release it.

A two-way sliding magazine release is located at the top front of the handle behind the trigger guard. The box magazine holds 18 rounds with a double-row arrangement, as well as a double-row exit. Sights consist of a front and rear sight with vertical white stripes to facilitate aiming in low light. Making lateral corrections is possible by moving the rear sight fixed in a dovetail groove using a special device included in the spare parts kit. Disassembly of the weapon is carried out by turning the barrel delay located on the right side of the frame. A number of design and technological solutions were protected by invention patents.

In 1997, by order of the Ministry of Defense, tests of the SR.1 were carried out in order to assess the possibility of adopting a new pistol and cartridges. Changes were made to the design again. The handle has a different shape. Its surface has only a large horizontal notch in the front and back parts. New form it is more versatile and allows shooters with different body types to hold the weapon almost equally comfortably. The magazine latch became a push-button one. The dimensions of the sighting devices have been increased, the shape of which has also changed. In December of the same year, state tests were completed, and the pistol itself received the rating “does not meet the requirements for reliability”, after which this weapon no longer participated in the “Rook” competitions and began to develop independently. Work on further development and testing was named “Granit” and was carried out until 2000, after which the pistol again changed its name to SR-1M “Vector”. At that time, it was supplied to regional special forces services of the FSB of the Russian Federation and some SOBR and OMSN detachments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for trial operation.

The improved pistol was named SPS ( self-loading pistol Serdyukov) and was adopted by the FSB by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 166 of March 21, 2003. The Serdyukov pistol index is 6P53. The new pistol received a more conveniently shaped handle, an enlarged trigger guard, new sights and a push-button magazine latch located on the left of the handle, at the base of the trigger guard. The names of the cartridges were changed again: 7N29 with an armor-piercing bullet with a steel core; 7N28 with lead core; 7BT3 with an armor-piercing tracer bullet. However, the 7N29 cartridges themselves are no different from SP.10, and 7N28 from SP.11. The only difference is in the customer; the manufacturer puts the SP index on the boxes of cartridges for the FSB, and 7N for the armed forces.

The production of the Serdyukov SPS pistol has been established at TsNIITOCHMASH and at OJSC Kirov Plant Mayak. There are manufacturer's trademarks on the side surfaces of the handles. Pistols produced by TsNIITOCHMASH have a stylized owl's head. On the weapons of the Mayak plant there is a stylized mathematical radical sign. It should be clarified that the designations SR.1M and SPS are used in parallel, the first by the FSB, and the second by the Ministry of Defense. Technical differences between the SR.1M and the SPS are an enlarged (at the request of FSB and FSO employees) automatic handle safety button, changes in the configuration of the sighting devices and a lower ejector mass.

In August 2012, the Central Research Institute of Precision Engineering presented the following modification of the SPS pistol under the designation SR1MP, characterized by the presence of grooves on the sides of the front part of the frame, to which a block with Picatinny grooves can be attached for mounting various collimator sights, laser designators and tactical lanterns It is possible to attach a shot silencer to the SR1MP pistol. In addition, the automatic handle safety button has been enlarged. In general, the Serdyukov pistol has excellent combat and service characteristics, confirmed when used in real combat operations. The weapon functions reliably in extreme operating conditions and at temperatures from - 50°C to + 50°C. Sighting range shooting 100 meters has been confirmed in practice. The accuracy of combat (a shooter of average training level) when firing a series of ten shots at a distance of 25 meters is 6.5 cm, and at a distance of 100 meters - 32 cm. At a distance of 100 meters, when firing with SP.10 cartridges, body armor containing up to two titanium plates 1.4 mm thick and 30 layers of Kevlar, or steel sheets up to 4 mm thick.

The gun has high quality manufacturing and surface treatment. The handle is very comfortable, but the automatic grip safety button, due to a fairly powerful spring, puts a lot of pressure on the shooter’s palm. Due to the rather large volume of the handle, shooters with small hands have to change their grip when changing magazines. In practice, the front protrusion of the trigger guard turned out to be completely unnecessary and useless, since, firstly, to reduce the toss when firing, the holding method with overlapping index finger placing the hand supporting the weapon on the trigger guard protrusion is absolutely ineffective, and secondly, even shooters with average palms cannot properly place their finger on this protrusion.

The strange configuration of the trigger greatly complicates the firing of a self-cocking shot when quickly drawing the weapon, since the pad of the shooter’s index finger in most cases rests against the tip of the trigger, rather than resting on its bend, after which it slides onto the front surface of the trigger, with painful sensations for the shooter . The automatic trigger safety button does not cause any unpleasant sensations, does not press or rub your finger even during prolonged shooting. However, despite all its shortcomings, the Serdyukov pistol is in production and continues to be used by a variety of law enforcement agencies and other “security” departments Russian Federation. Currently, the Serdyukov pistol is in service with special forces of the FSB, FSO, some SOBR and OMSN detachments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in limited quantities it is available in the Presidential Security Service (SPB), border troops and is used in other law enforcement agencies, both in Russia and in other countries .

A few reviews from people who have experience handling and shooting the SPS pistol: “The pistol is quite large, however, with excellent ergonomics of the handle, considering the length of the cartridge. “Soft” work and impact. The trigger travel is very smooth, while at the same time its force in single action mode is small. Excellent shooting accuracy. This pistol does not have the usual protruding parts on the sides, which makes it comfortable to carry. The pistol is perfectly balanced, the handle fits comfortably in the hand. Very durable and can withstand high loads both when used in the harshest conditions and when firing powerful cartridges. The weapon is durable, with a long service life.

The lack of a bolt stop lever and the need to manually move the bolt-casing a little back to chamber a cartridge from a loaded attached magazine are the pistol's drawbacks. During long-term shooting training, the automatic lever safety in the back of the handle presses on the palm, and the trigger safety on the finger. Cannot cock the hammer for production accurate shot, with the thumb of the shooting hand, holding the pistol with only one hand - this will not be done by the automatic safety lever, which will no longer be pressed with the palm. This pistol is certainly not without its shortcomings, but the ability to quickly and reliably hit an enemy wearing a bulletproof vest, reliability, shooting accuracy and a solid supply of ammunition in the magazine outweigh its disadvantages. Powerful weapon for work in real combat conditions. Excellent and pleasant machine."

We took a short historical excursion to find out what law enforcement officers used to arm themselves with. different countries. Let's now look at the modern police weapon. Let's start, perhaps, with the shirt that is closer to the body - with our own Russian police(although honestly: for me the word “police” in our realities is associated not with a policeman, but with a policeman). Of course, listing all conceivable models is a disastrous task. We will try to limit ourselves to the most common or popular ones.

The previously mentioned tendency to combine military and police weapons in Russia continues to operate today. All the “trunks” that will be discussed below are used not only by various law enforcement agencies, but also by the military.

Until now, the most popular pistol used by the police remains the 9-mm Makarov pistol. Developed in 1948 and put into service in 1951, it replaced the famous revolver.

In the early 90s, it was modernized (the main changes were a higher muzzle velocity and an increased magazine capacity) and received the designation PMM. The second “M”, as you understand, means “modernized”.

The morally outdated PM began to be replaced by the Yarygin pistol, designed for the use of 9-mm Parabellum cartridges. Created at the Izhevsk Mechanical Plant, the model turned out to be quite heavy (950 g without cartridges) and bulky, with a high center of gravity, threatening to “block” the weapon. Almost the main disadvantage, many experts consider the lack of a function for safely releasing the cocked hammer.

Of course, it also has advantages: less recoil and bounce when fired compared to the PM, a more capacious magazine (for 18 rounds), high penetration and stopping effect. In addition, a Weaver rail and a tactical flashlight with a laser target designator can be installed on the PY. But in general, the design of the pistol is considered obsolete by the time it was created.

Not just pistols...

The police also have machine guns. The most popular, naturally, is the AK-74U, which uses a 5.45x39 mm cartridge. The thing is certainly formidable, but somewhat outdated. It is not surprising that gunsmiths were asked to develop a new, more modern machine gun for use as a police weapon.

At the Kovrov Mechanical Plant in the late 90s, the AEK-919K “Kashtan” was created, using the widespread PM cartridge.

True, police patrols are not equipped with them; these are special forces weapons, which will require a small-sized machine gun in confined spaces.

Since 2006, the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs began to be equipped with 9-mm PP-2000. A very interesting unit with a plastic case and a magazine for 20 or 44 rounds of 9x19 Parabellum cartridges.

Light weight (just over one and a half kg without cartridges), the ability to shoot with thick gloves, as well as an installed Picatinny rail for a bunch of “bells and whistles” (silencer, optical or IR laser laser, tactical flashlight, collimator or optical sight) will allow it to become a worthy replacement for the old one good Kalash.

Izhmash made it even simpler: they developed the PP-19-01 Vityaz submachine gun, which is based on the AK-74U design (the unification of parts is 70%). The main difference is the cartridge.

The Vityaz uses a 9x19 cartridge, both from domestic and foreign companies. Well, a “trifle” in the form of a Picatinny rail is a thing that goes without saying for modern weapons.

When describing Russian police weapons, one cannot fail to mention another well-known development - the PP-91 KEDR. It is CEDAR, and not “Cedar”, as is often mistakenly written. After all, this is an abbreviation for “design by Evgeniy Dragunov.” This submachine gun has a long history. It began to be developed back in the 70s of the last century for the army, but due to its short effective firing range it was not accepted into service. Yes, this is understandable, because the cartridge used here was a pistol 9x18 PM.

KEDR was “reanimated” in the 90s, when the police needed funds to suppress a surge in crime. A silencer and a laser target designator can be installed on it. Currently, it is the second most common submachine gun as a police weapon in Russia in law enforcement agencies.
