The new military Glock guns go to the British military

43


The British military will switch to new pistols.

As reported on Friday, 11 in January, BBC News, the Ministry of Defense signed a contract worth 14,5 million dollars for the purchase of over 25 thousands of Austrian Glock pistols.

According to the British information service, the replacement for the Browning Hi-Power 9-mm pistols, which were put into service in the 1967 year, will come from the faster-firing Glock 17. Austrian pistols are also designed for caliber 9x19 millimeters and come with magazines for 17 rounds, while Browning holds 13 rounds.

Glock 17’s initial bullet speed is 375 meters per second versus Browning Hi-Power’s 335. The Austrian pistol wins in bulk: fully equipped, it weighs 905 grams. Curb Browns weight - 1,06 kilogram. In this case, Glock 17 allows you to more accurately hit targets at a distance of 10 - 25 meters. The target range of both pistols reaches 50 meters.

As noted, the Glock 17 was tested for 18 months in different climates.

Glock pistols are in service with almost 50 countries around the world, including the United States, Sweden, Poland, the Netherlands, Georgia and Malaysia. In 2009, Glock 17 began to be purchased for the special forces of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia.

    Well, the benefits were written in the article ?! Weight 11 grams less, bullet speed 40 m / s more, I roll. Well, maybe there’s more to be said than you can truly boast of? It remains only to rejoice about 17 rounds.

        Yes, I watched, I ate conversation on firing with these specialists. Someone drove into them like a zombie that Glock is an alien development, so they threw everything on their loopholes behind the Glocks, they say, wait, they say, look at least at ours, shoot once, somewhere, only the heels sparkled .

            The fact that this is a development of domestic designers should not give any carte blanche or handicap ... Or maybe let Lada Priora with a BMW three-ruble note also compare Lada’s current with 100 points plus, let’s throw it for OUR! wink

            They wrote already that this comparison is not correct.
            Glock is compared to a Viking, a sporty and weakened version of the Yarygin pistol.
            In the sports version of the MP-446C Viking pistol, to exclude the possibility of firing live ammunition with increased power, the strength of a number of parts was reduced, as a result, the pistol's service life was reduced. So, the extractor’s tooth breaks after 500-3 shots, the trigger pulls through ~ 000 shots, the barrel needs to be replaced after ~ 7 shots, the plastic frame withstands about 000-10 thousand shots (usually breaks in the area of ​​the rod hole shutter lag) ... On the scale of sports shooting, the MP-000C resource rarely exceeds a year of service. [10]

In short, everything about GSH-18 is already in the know, but I will repeat myself. Consider the weight, cartridges, speed in m / s, you yourself will find, and the replaceability of the ammunition.

            Because you need to make a decision, establish normal production with an updated machine park and qualified personnel, arrange, in a similar way, the release of cartridges for which this barrel was designed, well, that's about the minimum. Otherwise, it will remain the next museum exhibit in the Tula Museum and again without high-quality production that you want to draw on the drawings, even though a space blaster, crap will turn out at the output.

And the commentators probably even had an erection, they talked so pathetically about the plastic case and other insignificant tinsel, but for some reason they forgot to mention the shitty quality of steel and the workmanship about frequent jamming. The main advantage of the gsh is the cartridge and EVERYTHING, otherwise it is the vyser of Russian gunsmiths made on the knee. It seems that our current generation of gunsmiths can no longer do anything worthwhile without a kick in the ass, have chtoli become lazy or are talents extinct?

      Well, not 11g, but 100. And the speed is 40m / s higher for a pistol, plus the capacity of the store. Taken together, all these "little things" make the Glock noticeably better. But it's interesting that the Brits themselves were not able to make such a pistol, which means that the German-Austrian weapons school surpassed the English one.

    For those who respect the GSH-18, never once holding it in their hands:
    - having tried to equip the GSh magazine with ammunition at least once, you will cease to admire so much this miracle of our defense ... after the twelfth cartridge without an additional device it is almost impossible to equip the magazine with ammunition, and if it is even in the cold, then in general!
    - the pistol (GS) shoots with 9x19 rounds, but it is not said anywhere that there is no accuracy at all when shooting Luger cartridges. As a specialist from the factory producing this gun said ... it was developed under the cartridge 7N31 and all the characteristics indicated in the media are with this cartridge. Only these cartridges in the afternoon with fire you will not find ...
    Of course there are pluses:
    -convenient ergonomics;
    -easy;
    -if you use a 7H31 cartridge, it’s very powerful! Punching ability is incredible;
    -convenient sighting device for high-speed shooting ...
    But if we compare with Glock, then my choice remains with Glock ... he certainly has lower characteristics, but he does not have such large jambs as in GSH-18, which negate all his advantages. The GSh-18 pistol is not bad, but VERY !!! "raw" it is still to be finalized and finalized ...

      And who argues, of course, it is necessary and always worked out earlier according to the results of military operation! And that 9x19 is not his native cartridge, the same is true of the barrel and was made under his original cartridge, it is just possible to use this supply without danger to the user's health Yes, and the fact that there are no cartridges is not for engineers, just the customer needs to decide what kind of fighters they will eventually equip and which cartridge will be launched into the series. Concerning the store - they did not give much information, in the sense it is not clear whether there is a design flaw, or not a high-quality spring and the assembly can not be determined right away.

The return spring is very tight. Fingers slide off when loading quickly. In short, there are a lot of flaws and they are significant.

In 2003, under the name "9-mm Yarygin pistol" (PY), it was adopted by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (Russian Armed Forces). On October 9, 2008, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia announced the transition from a Makarov pistol to a Yarygin pistol as a standard weapon.

    The Glock took place. Moreover, it took place a long time ago. And it took place precisely as a practical weapon. It is a fact. Not admitting this fact is at least not very smart. Even with an ultra-patriotic attitude ...
    The fact that he is slowly but surely spreading through the law enforcement agencies of various countries is not surprising. He deserved it ...

    And the fact that he appeared with us is terrible, and even more so there is nothing deadly. Our units used American M1911A1 pistols, Czech Scorpion submachine guns, and British Super Match sniper rifles. As you can see, this did not end the world ...

    And the fact that domestic gunsmiths are lagging behind foreign ones in the field of creating official short-barreled firearms is also a fact. To my great regret ...
    But this is not their fault. Since starting with the adoption of the PM and APS (which is 1951) until the end of the 1980s. the topic of service short-barreled weapons (as well as PP) was thoroughly abandoned ... And catching up and catching up is very, very difficult, however ... However, I already wrote about this in one of the topics devoted to the comparison of "Rook" and "Glock "...

    At the beginning of the article's comments, "patriotism", inappropriate in this case, simply rolls over. And Glock is not good for our patriots. Whether it is "Yarygin" The fact that "Rook" is not really important shit, it is important that this shit is ours, and your shit doesn't stink. After all, what does it mean that Yarygin's pistol is not as convenient and reliable as the Glock? What a place for him .... in a museum ... at best. In addition, he collapsed in the place with the store. Imagine that you have a Kalashnikov rifle falling apart in your hands. Does not work? And "Rook" is falling apart. But we boldly oppose it to the Glock with a resource of half a lemon of shots. There is no need to talk about workmanship and ease of use, everything is clear in advance.
    But then GSh-18 appears to help Yarygin and the attack on Glock resumes from the other side. Well, everyone is good at GSH -18. And lighter and more cartridges. True, you need "your own" cartridge and equipping a miracle store is a problem. But is this a disadvantage if we are talking about ours, dear and homegrown? Of course not, everyone knows that our weapons school is the best in the world. Where was the Ak-47 created? That's the same.
    It doesn't matter that even in the video you can see how the GSh-18 throws up when firing, and as a result, how much lower the accuracy and rate of fire are. The main thing is to be proud of "ours" and it doesn't matter that "ours" were not even close to lying with Glock.
    We need to take a sober look at the state of affairs. Just because AK-47 was created here does not mean that all subsequent small arms are no worse than foreign ones. Glock is decent years old, and he has established himself with the best hand in the world. And our developments, no matter how much we praise them, can not yet compete with him. And it's not about advertising, marketing or Hollywood. AK-47 did not need these little things in order to win worldwide recognition.
    I think that neither the Rook nor the GSh-18, unlike the Glock, is in danger.

    And "Rook" is falling apart

    The sports version of the Rook-MP-446C “Viking” is falling apart in which, to exclude the possibility of firing live ammunition with increased power (7N21 and 7N31), the strength of a number of parts is reduced. Glock incidentally from these cartridges also falls apart .... saw with my own eyes.
