MP-446 Viking is based on the gun PCOS for export. The main difference from the prototype Viking is in the frame, are made of polymer, instead of carbon steel. Less significant innovations include slots for mounting a tactical flashlight or laser pointer at the front of the frame, some form of sighting devices and slide stop lever. The rest of the gun is virtually identical in design from PYA.
Automation operates as a use efficiency in the short course of the trunk. Locking is performed by means of decreasing the breech, entering their rectangular projection, located above the cartridge chamber, in the window for the ejection of spent cartridges shroud shutter. Reduction takes place in the interaction of the inclined surface of the inner groove in the tide breech bolt with delay axis. The barrel is made from stainless steel by cold forging, and its channel chrome.
Shock-type firing mechanism, double action trigger with automatic staging at half-cock. Levers bilateral safety lever positioned on both sides of the frame, above the handle. When the trigger is locked in any of its provisions, trigger, sear and bolt shroud. Slide stop lever located on the left side of the frame. The ejector is also a pointer presence cartridge in the chamber.
Latch shop placed on the left side of the frame, at the base of the trigger guard, It can be easily rearranged on the right side. The box accommodates shop 17 cartridges with double their location, as well as two-lane exit. Sights consist of a front sight and a rear sight, fixed in a groove type "dovetail" with the possibility of making amendments side. Front and rear sights are equipped with white inserts for the simplification and acceleration of sight in low light conditions.
disadvantages
The large width of arms; closed laterally in the absence of the trigger lever safe descent with cocking it can not be transferred to the front position manually; safety lever complicates the handling of weapons, but this disadvantage is minimized by regular training; strongly acting magazine catch button creates a danger of spontaneous detaching and falling out of the handle; insufficient quality of manufacturing for the export of weapons, which is not used in the army, and ordinary citizens.
In the first production samples of the Viking had a serious drawback - the trigger bar held too close to the store and play media, store could catch it during the connection or disconnection store, which led to fire. This defect was soon remedied change thrust geometry. Stores the first supplied lids Viking, shaped cover copy mailbox stores. Such caps were fragile and many owners cracked. Currently, however, the pistols are manufactured with thicker covers different forms, the problem was resolved. manufacturing quality pistols sometimes causes complaints and depends on the party. Not everyone is comfortable lateral extension of the thumb on the handle.
The most serious drawback gun Viking is a problem with spare parts and stores, which are very hard to find in Europe. The kit attached to the gun shop, and only two people, purchasing it for on the practical shooting competition faced with the lack of them on sale. After 8000 shots at the Vikings begin to break down the most mechanically weak parts, but now Izhmeh produces inexpensive spare parts kits with the most problematic parts. To improve the reliability of the TL is recommended to use the composition for a lubricant called atomic assembler, which greatly reduces friction and eliminates most of the possible delays in shooting, including poor quality cartridges.
