Concern "Kalashnikov" presented a new gun on the "Army-2015"
The Kalashnikov Concern, part of Rostec State Corporation, for the first time presented the prototype of the new 2015х9mm PL-19 pistol (Lebedev's Pistol) at the International Military-Technical Forum Army - 14. The concept of a pistol was developed in conjunction with experts of the power structures of Russia and leading shooters - athletes of our country.
The key difference of the “PL-14” from other modern analogues is its ergonomics and balance, which most fully correspond to the modern concepts of human biomechanics and the production of an accurate shot. Special attention should be paid to the unique aesthetics of the gun.
"The universality of the gun will allow you to use it not only as a combat weapon for the army and the police, but also as a sports pistol for competitions of a different class - said Alexey Krivoruchko, general director of the Kalashnikov Concern. “For the variability of the use of the pistol by the arrows of the special forces, we intend to release various versions with altered characteristics of the firing mechanism, as well as to make modifications that will allow it to be used in sports competitions.”
The design of the gun takes into account the important parameters of the overall mass characteristics. The gun has a uniquely small thickness in comparison with analogues of this class: 28mm around the handle and 21mm in front of the gun. In addition, the two-way location and configuration of the “PL-14” controls allows you to control the weapon with both right and left hands and makes it comfortable to carry, remove and use. In the design of the gun integrated Picatinny rail.
The methods of calculating the automatics used during the creation of the gun give it a lot of resource, and in combination with the above-mentioned solutions in terms of ergonomics and biomechanics, they make it comfortable for the shooter in terms of recoil, the size of the weapon toss after firing and quick return to the aiming line. These factors contribute to the production of a quick re-shot at the target and the rapid transfer of fire to other targets.
Special attention is paid to the safety of the weapon: the applied solution of the firing mechanism ensures the impossibility of the spontaneous shot of a loaded pistol, even when falling from a great height onto a solid surface. In addition, in the basic version, the descent is made intentionally longer and with greater effort than usual, which will save the shooter from an accidental shot in a stressful situation while keeping your finger on the descent. In the modifications of the gun, intended for highly skilled users (experienced employees of special forces and athletes), the effort and the amount of descent will have smaller values.
In addition, the increased safety of handling the gun is provided by a highly efficient indicator of the presence of a cartridge in the chamber, allowing you to quickly and accurately determine whether the weapon is “groped”. In addition, the indicator has an additional function: in combination with the modified geometry of the chamber, it allows firing of defective cartridges in which the length of the sleeve does not meet the standard.
