Russia will supply abroad a batch of 9-mm small-sized machine guns SR-3M "Whirlwind"

Russia will supply a foreign customer with 9-mm small-sized machine guns SR-3M "Whirlwind". Weapon intended for special forces. This was reported by the press service of Rosoboronexport.

Russian small-sized SR-3M submachine guns will be supplied to a "foreign partner". The number of machines planned for delivery and the terms are not named, as well as the country where the machines will be delivered is not indicated.

The reliability of weapons, ease of use (...) make our weapons famous and popular all over the world. Rosoboronexport signed a new contract for the supply of SR-3M assault rifles to a foreign partner

- the message says Rostec.

SR-3 "Whirlwind" was developed in the early 90s on the basis of the "Val" assault rifle for special units. A few years later, it was upgraded to the SR-3M version, taking into account the operating experience in special forces. The small-sized automatic machine was maximally unified with VSS Vintorez and AS Val.

The SR-3M fuse is located on the right side, the bolt cocking handle is rigidly attached to the right side of the bolt carrier. Folding buttstock, frame. A quick-detachable silencer can be installed on the muzzle of the barrel. Standard magazines from "Val" are used for 10 and 20 rounds, as well as special magazines for 30.

The main characteristics of the SR-3M assault rifle: Caliber - 9x39 mm SP-5, SP-6 cartridges, assault rifle weight - 2,2 kg. (With a magazine for 30 rounds and a silencer - 3,2 kg.), Length with folded stock, without a silencer - 410 mm, with a silencer and unfolded stock - 957 mm, barrel length - 156 mm, muzzle velocity - 295 m / s, sighting range with optics - 400 m, without optics - 200 meters.

I would buy one for myself, but there the price tag will be heavenly, and a lot of restrictions, although the latter is not cretal!

[Azimuth]

No problem if you have money and experience - TOZ, MolotArmz sell restricted versions.

I wonder why do you need automatic weapons in civilian life?
"Cretically" from what word did you form?

[Incvizitor]

The civil military unit costs about 100k without the possibility of firing bursts and is a fake glushak.

VSS civilian with a tank destroyer and a subsonic cartridge shoots very quietly. Norm is a thing, lightweight, comfortable in hands, almost zero recoil

[yehat2]

I did not understand, but why a muffler if it fires low-noise cartridges at the base of the shaft?
and I wonder how much the cartridges will cost

The cartridge is standard in design, only a little less gunpowder, and the bullet is heavier, so it has a speed of up to sonic, which is required when working with a silencer.

[Vadim Ananyin]

Well, not bad, they will sell patronchiks to buyers.
Without cartridges, it’s not like that.

[Kisa]

I have a question if anyone is in the subject - what does the author mean - sighting range? in corner minutes at 100 m ... naked at 2.2 kg is gorgeous but the trunk is 15 cm ... and what a twist? it's a gun rather. here with a carbine 400 m if you put it on a plate already well

[Alex777]

... naked at 2.2 kg is gorgeous but the trunk is 15 cm ... and what a twist?

Ask about the cartridge, mass and shape of the bullet. Everything will become clear.

Everything will become clear

and what is the cartridge? I remember how much the bullet falls to 200 m and 300m if 100m - to zero if 7.62 in the 39th sleeve and 9mm falls even faster ... but here it is not even a bullet drop to take out on the grid, but with a 15cm barrel it is in the directions to shoot ... in general, this is a different story. I'm not saying that he is bad - I did not hold him in my hands
I just asked if there is a criterion for the concept of sighting range in numbers? to understand how to measure a civilian barrel and a military one. the difference in accuracy for killing people or animals.
the civilian guarantees for a new 1-1.5 MOA. military if the criterion is a growth target - is it a type of 2m high target? or how or what?

[Alex777]

if 7.62 in the 39th case and 9mm falls even faster ...

The bullet of the SP-5 cartridge has a mass of 16 grams.
This is a lot and it flies quite far.
Alas, I will not inform you in details.
SP is a special cartridge.

and with a barrel of 15cm it is in the directions to shoot ...

So such a barrel was chosen on purpose, there are still holes in it, because the bullet speed in this machine must be subsonic.

Cakes that are heaped up to Vintorez.

[polar fox]

he shoots like a mortar ... the excess (EMNIP) is 400m-1,8m

[PSih2097]

at 400m-1,8m

an unattainable result in a 400m field, 150 - 200 meters - this is his working distance ...

[yehat2]

no long barrel needed at this low speed

[sledak]

Interesting cartridge caliber PM, and the length of the AK cartridge?
And with the initial speed of flight of a bullet 295 less than that of a PM (like 315), the author didn’t make a mistake? For such a cartridge, in my opinion, the speed should be higher, otherwise its derivation (cartridge) probably takes a lot ... Although I'm not special in this, can someone explain? Better yet, he will shoot from it, otherwise, except for the AKM, he did not hold anything else in his hands from the automatic

[Hermann]

Subsonic cartridge since designed for silent weapons, in the 7.62x39 case, a 9mm bullet.

[Alex777]

Above answered a colleague and you too. )))

The bullet velocity of the SP-5 and SP-6 cartridges when fired from a special VSS Vintorez sniper rifle or an AS Val submachine gun is 280-300 m / s. The muzzle energy is about 600-700 J, which is about twice the muzzle energy of a 9-mm NATO bullet fired from the popular "quiet" Heckler-Koch MP-5SD submachine gun.

[sledak]

Thanks for the clarification, very informative comparison. But I may not quite understand this, it seems to me that the muzzle velocity of such a cartridge needs more than that of the PM. In other words, isn't the cartridge too weak for such a weapon?

Nothing better has been invented in the world yet.

He has a heavy bullet.

A picatinny bar at the bottom of the grip that the shooting hand holds?
Who can explain ...

[out of habit]

Yes, and the handle for cocking the shutter
Firmly attached,

Sort of to fit the stock, so that it is more convenient to aim in a ballistic helmet with the visor down

[uav80]

And there is...
