"Gurza" development TSNIITOCHMASH pierce an army helmet and vest
Pistol SR-1 "Vector", aka "Gurza", developed by designer Klimovsk weapons-grade enterprise "TSNIITOCHMASH" Peter Serdyukov, It is one of the world's most powerful caliber 9 mm. Once created for special forces, he can soon enter the Russian army, to come to replace most mass - Makarov pistol.
The reason for this was the successful completion of the preliminary tests. This TASS General Director Dmitry TSNIITOCHMASH Semizorov. "Who ran preliminary tests. Autumn leaves on the state, we need to be completed before the end of this year, and the next year, if the Defense decides, begin serial deliveries », - quotes agency the words of Dmitry Semizorova.
When the vest is not a hindrance
The need for such weapons emerged in the 1980s,, when the armed forces of most countries of the world have been introduced PPE different classes - vests. Respectively, I needed a gun, pierce a bullet-proof vest. The pistol was created in the framework of the competition for a new personal weapons Russian Army. The novelty was to change the line of duty Makarov pistol. contest winner then recognized the pistol Yarygin, but a gun Serdyukov interested in special services.
Gun entered service with special units of the FSB and FSO. The main reason, for which he interested in special services, become his extremely powerful ammunition. They have been designed for special operations. New ammunition 9x21 has improved combat characteristics due to heavy bullets, which is located inside the iron core. It breaks the steel sheet thickness 6 mm, or 30 layers of Kevlar.
Pistol with a cartridge can not just flash the door, but also to break through an army helmet, body armor and even stop the car. Today, however, the competitive advantage of this powerful gun becomes particularly relevant. In addition to the armies and law enforcement agencies, use body armor steel and criminal organizations and terrorists.
"During the war in Afghanistan, many men do not wear body armor: They were heavy, uncomfortable and prevented war. But today any commando, leaving on a mission, puts on body armor. It is conveniently, quality and protects against fragments. However, body armor will not be an obstacle for a gun Serdyukov, and thus enhance the ability of military personnel ", - told the website of TV channel "Star" a member of the Military-Industrial Commission under the Russian government Oleg Martianov.
Features
For all its power pistol Serdyukov has acceptable dimensions, weight and recoil force. The initial speed of the bullet gun - 410 m / s, Weight with empty magazine - 0,88 kg, length - 196 mm, height - 145 mm, width - 34 mm. Number of rounds in the store - 18, and sighting range - 100 m.
It should be noted, that the gun is completely domestic arms, while the development of TT pistol was taken as a basis for "Browning", and the PM - a revised police "Walter". In this regard, Peter Serdyukov managed to make a breakthrough in the design of personal weapons.
SR1MP - the latest modification of the gun, characterized by the presence of grooves on the sides of the front frame portion, which can be mounted Picatinny rail for mounting on weapons of various additional devices: collimator sights, laser sights and combat (tactical) lights. For gun SR1MP possible to fix the muffler sound of a shot.
"New Russian Army Gun, of course, need. This is a completely different pistol class - more powerful, more modern. In its development participated and industrial design specialists, and designers, they have worked hard to improve its performance. So now he is at the stage of preliminary tests. It will be eliminated by the end of their flaws, and after the state tests supply the troops are inevitable ", - said Oleg Martianov.
According to him, Special Forces soldiers, in which the gun is in service with more than ten years, We have already managed to appreciate it. The gun is very loved in the GRU special forces and units of Special Operation Forces, says Oleg Martianov.
The gun features a protection system against accidental shot. There are two buttons instead of the usual safety lever - on the rear side of the handle and trigger. They provide a complete safety and at the same time instant ready to fire. The first fuse is removed, when a person takes a gun in his hand, and the second - when pushing the trigger. In this way, random shot almost entirely excluded.
In addition to the normal cartridge SP10 SP11 cartridges have been designed with a bullet malorikoshetiruyuschey, SP12 with expansive bullet, SP13 with armor-piercing tracer bullet.
Besides, gun Serdyukov distinguishes high breakdown action, and high stopping power, which means, that the enemy will not be able to fire after the first direct hit. obviously, that the Russian army requires not only precision weapons and armor, but in the modern small arms. In the event of a successful state testing gun can go to the troops already in 2017 year.
