The domestic small arms - from handguns to machine guns

Over the years, engineers of Russia was issued more than a dozen types of firearms. To describe all the models, not to mention the present models, will need a lot of pages. But we have an opportunity to describe the domestic small arms, the armament in the Russian army. It is represented by pistols, machine guns, sniper rifles and machine guns.

Guns of the Russian army

The Most common gun, which surely everyone has heard of is the Makarov pistol. The PM was developed in 1948 and adopted since the mid-twentieth century. But despite the remoteness, the weapon continues to be one of the most reliable and powerful means of fire. Currently used as personal weapons in the army and law enforcement.

The Gun has a store for 8 rounds, sighting range is 50 meters and lethal force is released the projectile retains power at the distance of 350 m Reload weapons carried on the recoil principle with a free gate. Represented domestic small arms when fired, causes the collapse of the spring, which, releasing, under the action of inertia deflects the bolt back and sends the cartridge in the chamber.

A Bit on a different principle based action self-loading silent pistol PSS. In it the piston itself pushes the bullet from the muzzle, at the same time locking in the sleeve with the powder gases. Because of this, when fired, do not create the difference in pressure, and the projectile flies almost silently.

The TT Pistol is a young representative of protective equipment, but has had time to prove from a positive side. In the moment is the upgrading of prosecutors and police officers on this type of weapon.

The slot Machines of the Russian army

The Most popular gun in the Russian army is the AK 74. This small weapon was designed in 1970 for the new malinowsky cartridge 5. 45x39. Is in service since 1974. Its main feature was reduced compared to the previous sample weight of ammunition – it was reduced almost by 1.5 kg.

This is a domestic small arms increased and accuracy – more than 50 %. Now the effective range is of the order 1 km by day and 300 metres by night, while penetration remains at over 3000 meters. On the basis of this machine has been developed several modifications, including AKS74U – a shortened version that is meant for troops, crews, vehicles, artillery, pilots.

The Automatic “Tree”, developed by engineers of P. and V. Serdyukov Krasnikov, – this is another fairly common military weapon which is mainly used by intelligence agencies. It is virtually silent shooting, while maintaining the striking impact at distances up to 400 meters and a small weight (2.5 kg) and opportunities to equip additional equipment. This type of weapon became popular because of its standardization and relatively simple device.

Sniper rifle

The First rifle you want to call it, – SVD, or Dragunov sniper rifle. It was developed in the 60-ies of the last century, but to this day has retained its relevance. Its principle of operation is based on the powder gases when fired, enter the port and push the piston in the opposite direction, thereby providing a recharge. Sighting range was maintained for 1,200 m, as lethal force – up to 3.8 km.

The Second Russian small arms, is worthy of mention, is developed under the guidance of P. I. Serdyukov in the 80s of the last century "Vintorez". The principle of exchange is based on the same flue, the maximum firing range – only 600 metres away. But it also has its own characteristics – the absolute silence of the shot and a greater degree of alignment with the machine “Tree”. Both weapons were developed for special forces, and confirmed its effectiveness.

Modern weapons sniper

In 2013 into service in the Russian army was adopted by the army sniper rifle large-caliber asvk or. Designed for only five shots, she can hit targets at distances up to 1.5 kilometers. Its feature is the system "bullpup": the trigger is after the store (if to go from the butt), which increased the length of the barrel. The Russian small arms had retained their length. At the moment, is one of the best sniper rifles in the world.

Guns

Domestic small arms of the type "machine gun" is represented by two main variants:

1. A Single gun, which combines portable and stationary weapon, is intended primarily for defeat of manpower of the enemy.
2. Heavy machine gun, which is completely stationary gun and is a real storm technology, aviation and even fortified positions.

The First version of arms submitted by Kalashnikov machine gun and ‘Pecheneg”, the second – guns “Cord” and “Rock”. Alltypes of firearms have proven themselves in the field, including in the course of combat operations.
