      although the old bolt actions have a rather... "repetitive silhouette", i find them pretty endearing over modern rifles (well, 21st century ones). probably because they have the wood and the curves lol

Something very interesting you forgot to mention is that even though it's integrally suppressed, it can still fire and function perfectly without the suppressor part (unlike several integrally suppressed guns). They even made holsters that would store the suppressor part separately so that it was less bulky.

    Ian, it's the first time I have to write that your data needs serious corrections right from the cover of the clip 😢
    1. It's not a KGB wetwork tool. It was designed for Army, for field reconnaissance as a low-report weapon. Think of Val and Vintorez as its conceptual grandchildren. KGB had its own separate line of development, led by, among others, Stechkin.
    2. Makarov has nothing to do with it except the magazine and some parts in the trigger mechanism, that was Army's requirements. Designer's name is Anatoly Deryagin. It's just PB (pistolet beschumny - silenced pistol) or 6П9 by army code.
    Despite it's rather weird look it's a well-balanced weapon, precise and very pleasant to shoot. Sits nice in the hand, points instinctively, notch and bead are quite readable. Those I held in my hands were very well made, much cleaner and precise than Mak.

    • @JR9979
      @JR9979 6 месяцев назад +1

      The German Luger pistols did something similar but worked in the opposite direction with an angle lever and an extension spring. The Toggle opens on firing which pulls a link connected to the angle lever....the angle lever then pulls on the spring until the action stops recoiling. The spring then pulls down the angle lever and the lever pulls the link on the toggle...Pushing the bolt forward and chambering a round ready to fire. This all happens in the grip.

    Because it has nothing to do with Makarov other than the ammo and the hammer/safety lever!

    Like the PM (Pistolet Makarova), the PB (Pistolet Besshumnyy) or "Silent Pistol" is still in production in small made-for-order numbers at Izhevsk until this day. Also, just like the PM, the PB was designed at Tula, but was never produced anywhere else besides Izhevsk. The entire trigger system, safety/decocker, and magazine are identical to that of the PM. Otherwise, it is a completely unique design.

      It is similar to a car muffler. It's just a matter of slowing the gas expansion and keeping most of it in the gun. The biggest problem is that the government will give you a long vacation if you try it. Some get an eternal nap.

Basically, it fits the same role as vss/val, but it's 30 years older. Of course, it saw service in some spy operations, but the main user were the army special units

      a PB redesigned with a modern suppressor for the second stage would probably be nearly as quiet as a captive piston gun, that'd be something truly special. same with VSS and AS VAL - some real potential for modernization that would only require replacement of the modular components that are already detachable
