Full Description

The Stechkin Automatic Pistol (APS) is a unique weapon developed in the late 1940s by designer I.Y. Stechkin . Adopted into service in 1951, it occupies a special niche between the Makarov pistol and the AK-47, offering firepower previously unseen in a handgun .

Key Features:

• Automatic Fire: The APS's defining feature is its ability to fire in fully automatic mode, effectively making it a compact machine pistol .

• High Capacity Magazine: The double-stack 20-round magazine (9x18mm PM) provides unmatched firepower for a sidearm .

• Shoulder Stock Holster: Comes with a standard wooden or plastic holster that attaches to the grip and serves as a shoulder stock . This significantly improves accuracy, especially in automatic fire.

• Rate of Fire: Delivers a cyclic rate of 700-750 rounds per minute in automatic mode .

• Adjustable Sights: A drum-type rear sight is adjustable for ranges of 25, 50, 100, and even 200 meters .

• Reliability: Features a simple and reliable straight-blowback design known for functioning flawlessly in harsh conditions .

Historical Value: The APS has seen service in conflicts from Afghanistan to Syria and was even part of the survival kit for Soviet cosmonauts . Today, it remains in use with specialized units like the FSB and Spetsnaz .
