Russian police officers are being attacked more and more often. Weapons only harm them. Firearms in service with the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs, their purpose and main characteristics New police submachine gun


The Russian police are adopting new, more powerful pistols designed by Yarygin 6P35 “Grach” and PP-2000 “Vityaz” submachine guns. The Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation claims that rearmament is a logical continuation of the reforms of last year (renaming the police into police). According to a representative of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the police will be armed with pistols and submachine guns, adapted specifically for shooting in urban conditions. The Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation believes that there is only one inconvenience in this rearmament - the need to train people in the use of 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: 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 rearmament, it will be necessary to spend weeks and months retraining the Ministry of Internal Affairs employees. The Vityaz submachine guns and the Grach pistols are completely new, powerful weapons; moreover, the Makarov pistol has only eight rounds in its 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 police special forces special forces began (the first pistols of the new Grach design were received by the Moscow special forces). Police Major General Vyacheslav Khaustov, head of the Special Purpose Center of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation for Moscow, promised that employees of the special purpose center will switch to using the new, more convenient Yarygin “Grach” pistol as soon as possible.

In the near future, it is also planned to replace the outdated army Kalashnikov assault rifle with a more modern and more powerful weapon. According to the plan, the special forces of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and traffic police will receive the PP-2000 "Vityaz" - a fundamentally new, powerful automatic weapon with a caliber of 9 mm (the Kalashnikov assault rifle has a caliber of 5.45 mm). The PP-2000 "Vityaz" has a number of other advantages over the Kalashnikov assault rifle - the PP-2000 "Vityaz" has: greater accuracy of fire, increased penetration, greater lethality (the wound from a 9mm bullet is much more serious than from a 5.45 mm bullet), magazine capacity is PP-2000 "Vityaz" 44 rounds 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, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation claims, that the Grach pistol and the PP-2000 Vityaz submachine gun are more suitable for them than the Makarov pistol and Kalashnikov assault rifle.

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

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 traditional. The automation operates on the principle of recoil of the barrel with a short stroke, locking by warping the barrel due to a cam groove located in the lower part of the barrel, located on the protrusion of the barrel, interacting with the shutter stop axis. The barrel is locked by inserting a protrusion on the breech of the barrel into the extraction window. The pistol frame is steel. The trigger mechanism is of the hammer type, with a compression spring and self-cocking. The double-sided safety lever is located on the frame. When turned on, the hammer mechanism can be blocked in both the cocked and deflated state. In the “safety” position, the sear, trigger, hammer and bolt are blocked. The ability to lock the striking mechanism in the cocked state allows you to fire the first shot after turning off the safety with a low trigger force, which increases the probability of a hit on the first shot. The ejector, which protrudes noticeably above the surface of the bolt when a cartridge is chambered, simultaneously serves as an indicator of the presence of a cartridge.

The cartridges are fed from a double-row 17-round magazine, secured with a latch located on the left side of the frame, under the thumb of the right hand. If necessary, it can be remounted on the right side of the frame.

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

Disassembling the pistol for cleaning and lubrication in the field is done without special tools: to do this, you need to sequentially separate: the magazine, stop the bolt, and move the bolt forward from the frame with the barrel and the return mechanism.

As has become traditional for Russian small arms, the selection of a pistol for the rearmament of the Russian army took place on a competitive basis. The 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 Russian Ministry of Defense, the samples were tested for service life and trouble-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 volume 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 assessed by members of the FSB unit. When performing the exercises of the FSB shooting course with the new pistol, 65 percent of the participants completed them “excellent” and “good.” In general, the Yarygin design sample demonstrated its advantages over a competing design and was recommended for adoption by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the FSB and the Russian Army, but has so far been adopted only by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation,

In terms of its consumer qualities and technical characteristics, the MP443 "Grach" pistol of the Izhevsk Mechanical Plant is at the most modern level, and in certain parameters it is superior to its Western counterparts.

Submachine gun PP-2000 "Vityaz"


The PP-2000 submachine gun was developed at the Instrument Engineering Design Bureau (KBP) in Tula, Russia, and was first shown publicly in 2004, although a patent for its design was registered back in 2001. The PP-2000 is clearly intended to be either a self-defense weapon for military personnel (PDW) or as a close-combat weapon for special operations forces, both army and police/militia, primarily for operations in urban environments. PP-2000 is extremely compact and lightweight, with a minimum number of parts and a simple design, ensuring easy 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 combat opponents wearing personal protective equipment (helmets, body armor), as well as to effectively hit targets inside vehicles. Moreover, compared to small-caliber analogues 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 serial production and is entering service with the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The PP-2000 submachine gun is built on the basis of automatic blowback action. The PP-2000 fires from a closed bolt, with a trigger mechanism. The body of the submachine gun is made of integral plastic with a pistol grip and an enlarged trigger guard, allowing, if necessary, to hold the weapon with two hands. The bolt protrudes from the body above the barrel; in its front part there is a bolt cocking handle that can be tilted to the right or left. The magazine is inserted into the pistol grip, the magazine release button is located at the base of the trigger guard. The safety switch is located on the left side of the weapon, above the pistol grip, and ensures firing of both single shots and bursts. A distinctive feature of the PP-2000, protected by a patent, is that there is a slot for a spare magazine in the rear part of its body. With a magazine inserted into this socket, it can be used as a rudimentary shoulder rest (stock). Modern serial versions of the PP-2000 are equipped with a detachable side-folding buttstock, installed in a slot for a spare magazine. On the upper surface of the receiver cover there is a Picatinny rail type guide, which allows the installation of various additional sighting devices on the corresponding brackets.

Questions for self-control

The collapse of the Soviet Union was accompanied by a widespread surge in violence that engulfed most regions of the once united country. During this period, cases of terrorism and hostage-taking increased sharply, and interethnic conflicts arose.



The trigger mechanism allows firing in single shots and bursts. The firing mode translator, which also serves as a fuse, is located on the left side of the receiver above the trigger guard.

The PP-90 Ml submachine gun was developed by the KBP enterprise and is intended for arming police units and internal troops of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs, army units not directly participating in hostilities, crews of armored vehicles and helicopters, as well as crews of heavy infantry weapons.
The PP-90 Ml largely meets the basic requirements for modern personal defense weapons, which are being developed in many countries around the world in accordance with the PDW (Personal Defense Weapon) concept. As is known, such weapons must always be with a serviceman, without interfering with the performance of his duties, i.e. be as light and compact as possible. At the same time, it must ensure sufficient fire efficiency to deter an enemy armed with combined arms small arms.

Since 2008, police departments and units of internal troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia have been receiving PP-19 -02 submachine guns. 20 "Vityaz-SN". This submachine gun was developed and manufactured at Izhevsk Machine-Building Plant OJSC. The tactical and technical assignment for its development was issued by the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs in 2003, and the name of the topic of development work, which was subsequently assigned to the submachine gun, is directly related to the special unit of the Ministry of Internal Affairs "Vityaz", whose commander S.I. Lysyuk became the initiator this development.
It should be noted that another prototype during the development of the “Vityaz” was the PP-19 “Bison” submachine gun, from which the automation system was borrowed, working by using the recoil energy of the free shutter. At the same time, however, it was necessary to change the design of the rammer, since, unlike the Bison magazine with a single-row cartridge output, the Vityaz magazine was made double-row with a staggered arrangement of cartridges. Compared to the Bison, the position of the reloading handle has also been changed. It is moved forward, and the cutout for it in the receiver cover is completely covered by the firing mode translator shield (when the latter is in the “safety” position). This prevents dirt from getting inside the receiver.
The main ammunition for both versions of the Vityaz submachine gun is the new 9x19 mm PRS cartridge (PRS - reduced ricocheting ability). It has a lead-core jacketed bullet with a muzzle velocity of 360 m/s.

In 1991, the American company Calico began production of a submachine gun with an original auger magazine, the capacity of which was 50-100 rounds. Although the cost of this weapon was almost twice the cost of other similar submachine guns, the very next year the first 1000 Calico submachine guns entered service with the US Drug Enforcement Administration, orders for the submachine gun came from Special Operations Forces and the Corps. US Marine Corps. By mid-1996, exports were made to 27 countries.
Similar weapons were created in Russia. At the end of 1993, a photograph of the President of the Russian Federation B.N. Yeltsin with an original-looking weapon in his hands appeared on the pages of Russian and foreign publications - this was how the latest development of the designers of the Izhevsk Machine-Building Plant, the PP-19 “Bison-2” submachine gun, was demonstrated "

The PP-91 Kedr submachine gun is in service with many law enforcement agencies of the Russian Federation. They are armed with special units of police and internal troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Federal Penitentiary Service, the Federal Drug Control Service, departmental security officers, the Courier Service and collectors. The first 40 pre-production samples of PP-91 “Kedr” were manufactured in 1992 at the Izhevsk Mechanical Plant, and subsequently serial production was organized at the Zlatoust Machine-Building Plant.
The simple and technologically advanced design of PP-91 “Kedr” is
further development of the pistol - machine gun PP-71, developed by E.F. Dragu new in the late 1960s. according to the tactical and technical specifications of the GRAU of the USSR Ministry of Defense within the framework of the “Bouquet” experimental design program. Work on the creation of the PP-92 was also carried out under the leadership of E. F. Dragunov, so the weapon was called “Cedar” - designed by Evgeny Dragunov.

Adopted in the early 1990s. The PP-91 Kedr submachine gun, which is used by units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and other law enforcement agencies of the Russian Federation, has one, but very significant drawback - its ammunition is a 9x18 mm PM pistol cartridge, which is not powerful enough to hit targets wearing personal armor protection. The effective firing range of this submachine gun does not exceed 50 m. For this reason, in the early 1990s. An attempt was made to increase the combat characteristics of the submachine gun of this system by developing its version for a more powerful 9x18 mm PMM cartridge, made in the dimensions of the 9x18 mm PM cartridge, but having a larger powder charge and a lighter bullet with a pointed head.
The bullet of the 9x18 mm PMM cartridge has an initial speed of 425 m/s and at a distance of 20 m pierces a steel sheet 3 mm thick or the body of a passenger car, and at a distance of 10 m it ensures the defeat of a living target protected by army body armor.

In 1997, at an arms exhibition in Moscow, the Gepard submachine gun, developed on an initiative basis by the designers of military unit 33491 and JSC ROKS, was demonstrated for the first time. The creation of this submachine gun was due to the fact that, due to the use of insufficiently effective ammunition, many modern Russian pistols machine guns do not ensure reliable destruction of targets wearing personal protective equipment.
« Cheetah"is a system on the basis of which it is possible to create a family of submachine guns that optimally meet the requirements of various law enforcement agencies.
A shortened assault rifle was used as a basis for the development of the Cheetah. AKS-74U, from which the wooden forend and linings, the firing mode translator, sighting devices and a shortened receiver were borrowed. Moreover, in contrast to the OTs-39 P version, chambered for a powerful 9×19 mm cartridge, the 7 N21 pistol is one of the significant features OTs-22"Buk" are small in size and weight. This was achieved through the use of a “pistol” layout with the magazine placed in the fire control handle. Gun- machine gun equipped with mechanism
mi automation, working by using the recoil energy of the free shutter.

It was about noon. Weekday. They walked imposingly through the empty courtyard, looking sternly around. With machine guns. I noticed them from the window on the landing. And just like that, I went for a walk with my child to a hill with a sandbox. For a second I froze in horror.

In nine months of living in a small European country, I have never seen people with machine guns.

Or rather, I saw it every day, but on TV - in the news from Syria, Somalia, Palestine and other hot spots. Well, in films, of course, about war, about Latin American drug lords, about a future in which, without a blaster, inevitable death awaits you.

Probably, a real European would take the child in his arms and run with him out of harm’s way back home. And I remembered that outside the window was Moscow. People walking around the city with machine guns is the norm here, because these are police officers, they are allowed.

Who hasn’t been asked for documents at night at Kalashnikov gunpoint? Whose car hasn't been stopped by a policeman with a submachine gun dangling from his back? Who hasn’t given up a line in a store to a patrol armed with machine guns who came in to buy Coke before closing?

"This is weird. “You’re probably lucky with them,” our photo editor, the beautiful girl Yulia, listened to my story in surprise. “For some reason I don’t meet them.” There are things that you get used to and no longer pay any attention to them. Well, they walk around with machine guns, so what? In addition, machine gunners are indeed less likely to be seen in Moscow than in Dagestan, for example.

There are several countries in the world where street police patrols do not carry firearms at all: Great Britain (except Northern Ireland), Ireland, Norway, Malta and New Zealand. In England, where bobbies have only a baton, handcuffs, a canister and a stun gun, the debate over arming the police is endless. While the arguments of those who are against guns are winning: the policeman will receive a deceptive sense of self-confidence, the weapon may be stolen, criminals will also acquire pistols, and an arms race dangerous for citizens will begin. In a shootout, a pistol will not protect you from a bullet fired at you, but it creates an obvious threat to life random passers-by. The main principle is to quickly call in armed support from special forces if necessary.

But this is a debate about whether or not to give pistols to patrol officers. A machine gun is a weapon of war. This is a very clear symbol that is understandable to the whole world. In November 2010, when a threat of terrorist attack was declared in Germany, police patrols in Berlin were issued machine guns. Photos of machine gunners with the Reichstag in the background went viral on the Internet. “Citizens can see that the police are acting,” the German Interior Minister said at the time.

The threat of a terrorist attack for Moscow, unfortunately, is not a myth. But to prevent them, there are special units of both the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the FSB. What does the usual city patrol have to do with it? The only reasonable conclusion that can be drawn is the presence in Moscow of a constant terrorist threat of the “orange” and maybe even the “red” level.

Perhaps the problem is that the pistols that Russian police usually use are so outdated that they have to be supplemented with machine guns. You can’t just ban police officers from carrying machine guns, because it scares citizens and tourists. To do this, they must first be given modern pistols. That is, it turns out that it’s cheaper with an automatic. The problem of state poverty in general.

About ten years ago, my wife and I went on vacation to Egypt. We lived in the desert, in a hotel remote from all living things on the shores of the Red Sea. It occupied a huge territory. It had everything: its own large beach, several restaurants, pleasure boats, camels, horses, a diving center, sports grounds, a cinema hall. It was possible not to leave there at all, except on an excursion to the tombs of the pharaohs. This entire area was surrounded by a high concrete fence with barbed wire, and there were large numbers of Egyptian machine gunners stationed around the perimeter. Then it was difficult to say who could attack us in the middle of the desert. Imhotep perhaps. But such precautions quite created an unpleasant feeling of serious danger.

So it is in Moscow. It is not difficult for a visitor to guess that since the police are constantly walking around here with machine guns, it means that the city has serious security problems, that there is a war and heavily armed bandits somewhere nearby. Meanwhile, the authorities like to talk about the fact that in Moscow the level of robberies and assaults is steadily falling; it is already two times lower than in New York. If this is indeed the case, it is time to carry out demilitarization.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation is switching to a new type of weapons, abandoning the Kalashnikov assault rifle and Makarov pistol and acquiring stun guns, ITAR-TASS reports with reference to First Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs Mikhail Sukhodolsky.

“In the near future it is planned to change the type of standard weapons for all internal affairs officers. In particular, they will be replaced by Yarygin pistols, and by submachine guns,” said M. Sukhodolsky.

According to him, the new weapon is different in that the bullet used in it has less rebound ability. “This is important for use in urban environments,” he noted.

Also, stun devices, including remote ones, will appear in the arsenal of Russian police officers, reports NEWSru.com. “The rearmament will proceed as planned and will take several years,” Sukhodolsky noted.
