New weapon for special forces and pilots: PPK-20U submachine gun

58

Russian pilots will now receive a new individual rifle weapon... And this weapon will be a new Kalashnikov submachine gun of a special series - PPK-20U.

PPK-20U is a novelty from the concern, which attracted considerable attention during the Army-2021 forum. The reason is connected, among other things, with the fact that it is the new Kalashnikov submachine gun that should be included in the wearable emergency reserve (NAZ) of Russian military pilots as the main weapon.



PPK-20U is actually one of the versions of "Vityaz-SN" - small arms for special forces. Such weapons are convenient for carrying out fire in confined spaces. Therefore, it is suitable, among other things, for conducting counter-terrorist operations, including operations to free hostages.

The submachine gun, already in the basic version, is equipped with several strips for attaching additional elements (tactical flashlight, NVD - night vision device, etc.)

The PPK-20U has a new front sight, which actually increases the aiming line, as a result, the accuracy of firing will also be increased.

More details about the new submachine gun are described in the review on the Lazarev Tactical channel:

        That is, the new PP is more than a pound heavier than the AKSU-74, it is only 3 cm shorter than it (and with the stock folded it is also 15 cm longer) and uses a cartridge nowhere else (taking into account the announced replacement of the PYa with "Boas") in the Ministry of Defense applicable.
        And what's the catch?

            Cedar is a freak with a weak cartridge, worse accuracy, no ergonomics. Typical product of the 90s, shooting stamping. In the post above, the weight of PPK-20U is indicated WITH CARTRIDGES, length with PBS.

            This cartridge is being phased out by the MO.
            At the moment, the pistol MO uses the entire 9x19 and 9x21 nomenclature.

            Regarding Cedar - relatively recently there was information that it was remade for the entire 9x19 line, which also indicates that the 9x18 PM (sometimes referred to as 9.2x18 PM to distinguish it from the German 9x18 Ultra Police from Geko) is leaving the scene.

    The main task of the downed pilot is not to betray himself, the weapon must be silent. Maybe there should be a weapon that temporarily incapacitates civilians so that they do not give it out. There must be a good rescue service. And there should be luck, not close combat with a submachine gun for the advantage. Rutskoi's memoirs are interesting in this regard.

        is only able to achieve the bullet exit from the barrel towards the target. In year

In terms of cartridge power (power, as they say), the AK-74U surpasses the PPK-20U, in terms of the effective fire range (~ 200 meters) they are equal, but the AK-74U is inferior to (1) in accuracy and accuracy, (2) concealment of fire, ( 3) wearable ammunition.

The bullet energy of the 5,45x39 cartridge is 2,5-3 times higher than that of the 9x19 - such a funny perdimonocle, just by default, due to its design - it therefore belongs to the family of intermediate ones. And you seriously compare it with the pistol and even find some advantages in the latter? Amazing. wassat

          Have you read my post carefully? Let me quote myself - "In terms of cartridge power (power, as they say), the AK-74U is superior to the PPK-20U." Power 5,45 x 39 for the AK-74U is excessive, the barrel is short and heats up quickly, the aiming line is short, the recoil is much stronger than on the AK-74. Now imagine the situation - two experienced shooters at the turn of 100 meters. Which of them will put more bullets into a chest target in, say, 15 seconds? The answer, I think, is obvious. And at a longer distance, it hardly makes sense for a pilot hiding from the enemy.

            Why is 100 meters critical for you? I suggest 15 meters. The answer, I think, is obvious - the PP is redundant, do not go to the fortune-teller.

          AM-17 - the same AK-74U with a new body kit. About the civilian modular AKV-521 carbine I did not understand the idea at all, if there was one. And what does the microwave have to do with it? I liked making a collapsible version :) I think the most important and urgent task for a downed pilot on enemy territory will be to ... assemble his personal weapons at the landing site. I appreciated the humor, thanks. It is not necessary to enumerate that "we still have", I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to argue against the collapsible NSV Utes. In general, I caught your approach - to develop a collapsible Pecheneg with optics, with three boxes of cartridges and a grenade launcher, preferably also collapsible :) Task number two is to design an airplane and an ejection seat so that all this would fit into the NAZ. But this is also nonsense. Think at your leisure over the question - why in the NAZ, in addition to the PPK-20U and everything else, there is also a PLC in the breast pocket. It would seem, why a gun if there is a PP. Do you have any answer options?

    1. Take a machine gun and remake it for a pistol cartridge.
    2. We take and fold the stock not to the left, but to the right, so that the operation of the bolt and fuse does not seem like honey.

        no, NAZ is in a parachute, a parachute is in an airplane, and the pilot
        flies on different planes, and does not carry a parachute with him.

          Good afternoon.
          Could you express your opinion on how much weight a pilot can have not in the NAZ in a chair, but directly on himself in a vest, subject to ejection.
          What is the maximum weight a single item can have, for example, the maximum weight and dimensions of weapons and other items that may be with you.
          Taking into account the restrictions on ejection, possible overloads in flight, the allowable space in the cockpit?

              They write that such tests are underway. So far done only for helicopter pilots, trying to adapt to a catapult

    Subscribed to the YouTube channel of Konstantin Lazarev, so I watched this video about the PPK-20U immediately after it was posted on the Web.
    Under the guise of pretentious "reasoning" Konstantin (about "sort of PDW", "finally compactly folding butt" and "finally a pipe" not welded to the barrel "of this" wunderwaffe "), who even forgot the name of" our downed pilot "(about which casually, "illustratively", mentioned), allegedly "who shot all the cartridges (but where are" all the cartridges "if the bandits showed clear footage with only half consumed (apparently refused long-term storage, fully equipped, with an extremely compressed supply spring ?!) shops to "Stechkin" of the heroically deceased Major Roman Filipov!) ", it was interesting to watch (in the background) calm and imperturbable Vladimir Onakoy, who at that time was busily working at the KK stand with potential customers from" developing countries ". smile
    ***
    I absolutely did NOT understand the "meaning" for the pilots in this particular bulky thing "based on the receiver and other gadgets of the AK", also with completely unnecessary hide and seek "with enemies) hooked (for everything) Picatines" for additional mounting of gadgets "?!
    "Weapon blogger" Lazarev is completely unaware that with a short, thin-walled, rapidly heating barrel and a relatively weak (with a pronounced bullet trajectory) pistol cartridge, such a "fashionable chip" of commercial weapons marketing is a "free-hanging barrel (with an additional" "a metal can at the muzzle, deliberately distorting the" aftereffect of powder gases "on a low-speed pistol bullet that has flown out of the barrel)" - this may be even worse for maintaining a uniform "sighting point" and the possibility of heat removal than a "rigidly fixed" barrel (with the help of additional support - attaching the same "tube" - guiding the "gas piston rudiment", the reciprocating spring "branch" of the PPK-20U shutter) ?!
    ***
    The commercial interest of the concern is understandable - "without spending too much money on changing the main parts, components and proven technologies, sell your next shooting craft to the military at a high price!" request
    ***
    "The mountain has given birth to a mouse!"
    But the military themselves, the high-ranking pilots themselves, who "clap their ears", DO NOT know and DO NOT demand what they owe, unconditionally "content with what they were given" ??! what
    Really, spending many millions of rubles on the training of each military pilot and navigator, it is impossible to strain a little and equip them with really compact and light weapons of self-defense, simple in design and use (in which case, even one unbroken hand, only easily touched by shrapnel, with two, miraculously preserved on a burnt and frostbitten hand, fingers with limited mobility, smashed and swollen ...), reliable and powerful enough (albeit chambered for the same 9x19mm "Para" cartridge, which is widespread in enemy territory and a hypothetical possibility is provided " replenishment of ammunition ") ?!
    After all, it is possible (using advanced materials and technologies) to design a decent weapon for flight personnel, if you want and really try, correctly apply the power of weapons thought and engineering knowledge!

    ***
    I watched the program "Military Acceptance" (according to the link that opens in the frame after watching the video to this Article) on the same topic, it shows an enviable experimental production base of the KB of the KK concern, but the designers sitting there do not see a single drawing board - all "twist 3D "on multiple screens of monitors (according to the explanations of the Glavkonstruktor" they calculate all the modes of the designed samples "and virtually" check the assembly of the structure "), and do not operate with" mental images "in their heads, deliberately drawing every millimeter by hand on a Whatman paper," on a scale of one to one "-because they do not" feel "these" millimeters of material "," they do not think with their hands ", helping the head with tactile motor skills of a tangible man-made drawing," purely virtually "create their own monstrous" ribs for pilots (and, arguing in an infantry way, for spetsnaz, such a weighty "product" is also burdensome, even if "in the city") ", then" printing "plastic layouts on a 3D printer.
    But with the given dimensions, "proven" for decades of mass production, the receiver of the "adult" AK is impossible to minimize the dimensions of the "baby" and over and over again at the CC on this "base", alas, only "ankle-footed" AK broilers "hatch"!
    At least, the would-be designers, "Urzhumtsevites", made in this "compact PP" a forward-folding (along the barrel) magazine receiver with an attached magazine - it would not stick out so much in the "stowed position" and will always be "at hand" ... wink
    ***
    Actually, if in an amicable way, it should be done in the same way as the filmmaker Oliver Stone did with his selected film actors before filming the movie "Platoon" ... winked
    Take a group of designers of this "compact masterpiece" and individually eject (with all the attendant overloads and stresses) from a dive plane!
    To a swampy wooded area.
    If everyone safely undergoes the bailout and lands without bodily harm, then (by "scouting methods" of immobilizing the "injured limb" - by temporarily bandaging it to the body) each simulate probable fractures and injuries of the warring pilots, hand over the NAZ complete with their "creation" and blank cartridges , to appoint a rather difficult "training route", dates and a "gathering point" (and "to speed up" on the heels of everyone to start up search groups with dogs), and let them run around and "survive" in a "situation close to combat"! wink
    After such tough "races", I am sure, they will have the right thoughts on the given topic and on their own (in my opinion, made by arms merchants unreasonably burdensome, without due respect for the ground self-defense of pilots! No. ) "masterpiece" - "the work of their crooked hands" can no longer "look with adoration"! Yes
    ***
    In addition, in the Combat Application Center, the concept of winning actions of a downed pilot in typical tactical situations of evasion from pursuit and attempts to capture, in what situations and how his defensive weapon should be used!
    And it should not be overlooked that no, even the best, self-defense weapon will save pilots without an established systems promptly operating Search and Rescue Service!
    ***
    So I think that for the chance of a sudden breakthrough of the enemy environment, it will be useful to conduct a high-rate continuous fire - a kind of stunning "fire raid" in the entire capacity of the store (which it is desirable to make very capacious, but trouble-free even with long-term storage in the NAZ with fully equipped cartridges, because, as showed the failed stores of Major Filipov's "Stechkin", pilots do not always bother with preventive unloading and loading of their weapon magazines, so the metal of the feed spring "gets tired and sits down", especially in such "age" samples made a long time ago, like APS .. .. lazy gunsmiths designers will probably guess without a hint how to do it better, without overly complicating, and where even simplifying, the design of such a submachine gun. Yes )!
    ***
    In conclusion, I will say, m. and commonplace, but
    The price of such a design "laziness of thought" and a lack of experience, the resulting shortcomings, respectable or deliberate promotion of "what happened" is always (even in civil engineering!) Human Lives !!!

    The mass "does not beat":
    2,7 / 3,0 empty / equipped - AKS74u
    3,65 kg (with cartridges) - PPK-20
    That is, this is all, but on the pistol cartridge they made it even harder? More than half a kilo?

    There is something incomprehensible in the video about the gas outlet pipe and the shutter that goes along it.

      The 9x19 ammunition does not provide for a gas outlet, for it is weak and weak in essence and is supplemented by the energy of a free shutter. But the bullet is made on the AK-base, with the minimum possible changes, therefore, the bolt carrier was left as it is, sawing off the piston, the main thing is that the weight is suitable for the operation of the automation.
      Accordingly, the gas pipe in this craft is also fake, because there is no vent hole in the barrel. Apparently, earlier everything was like an AK, with attachment to the barrel - but now this tube has been broken off from the barrel, attaching it to something else.
      Actually, this does not affect the main design defect - due to the shape of the bolt carrier, the recoil of the bolt does not occur in a straight line, but tends upward. As a result, after 3-4 thousand shots, the guides break out, along which the shutter runs. To counter this effort, the designers hammered a nail (nano-rivet) into the receiver cover, which supposedly prevents the bolt from jumping vertically. What is typical - this does not happen on AK at all, since the pressure on the valve occurs in two horizontal planes at the same time.

    For pilots: accommodation in NAZ (this is such a bag, on a halyard several meters long); will be placed with a detached store ;. Questions: how can a downed pilot, descending on a parachute, be able to prepare for a "meeting" on the ground with those who shot him down and is waiting below? How can a pilot who is seriously wounded in one arm be able to bring a submachine gun into combat condition? Will the equipment of this product, which is in NAZ, be equipped with a silencer for the sound of shots and a collimator sight?

    It's just ok some ... Such foolishness to shoot 9x19 ??? It looks like they are now recruiting anyone into the Kalashnikov ...

    Kalashnikov climbs into all the cracks. There are really compact samples for pilots. PP2000 for example.
