Tula PP-2000

Designed by the PP-2000 Tula gunsmiths of the Instrument Design Bureau in 2001, and intended for anti-terror units. The defeat range to 300 meters. This is the first Russian pistol after the collapse of the USSR, which surpasses all European counterparts of submachine guns. The highest fire density in the melee is the main advantage of the PP-2000. Designers have reduced to the minimum number of all the parts used in its creation. Submachine gun is made in a convenient form, which is suitable for concealed carrying.

The submachine gun was created from a combination of plastic parts of the body of the machine gun and ordinary metal parts for the production of a shot.
Plastic parts will not suffer from corrosion, in cool weather they do not have a cooling effect when touched. To reduce the effect of unmasking when using a submachine gun, it is equipped with a slit flame arrester. Thanks to these innovations, PP-2000 weighs less than a kilo and a half and can be disassembled in less than 30 seconds.

Domestic developers have already put up this model at Interpolitex-2004, which was held in Moscow. PP-2000 was finally ready and went into production in 2006 for the Ministry of the Interior of the Russian Federation.

For aiming, the PP-2000 is equipped with a standard front and flip entirely. At the submachine gun there is one interesting development - the use of the cartridge 9x19 "Parabellum". According to the developers, this is due to the fact that PP-2000 is primarily intended for police forces using weapons for stopping action. This is due to the fact that the use of 5.45 mm weapons has a lower stopping power compared to 9 mm weapons. 9 mm bullet mm gives the body of the offender a large kinetic energy and affects a large area of ​​the body, which acts as a stopping factor.

The submachine gun has the ability to retrofit a collimator sight or a sight for night use. The fuse is executed on the left side of the submachine gun, the translator of the firing mode is also located there, cocking the PP-2000 takes place using the handle located above the stem box. Turn it left or right and the weapon is cocked.

The barrel has a chrome plating. Before the start of firing, the cartridge is located in the chamber, and the bolt is in its front position, which closes the barrel bore. Such shooting is called “from the head whisper”.

The rate of fire of the domestic submachine gun to 10 shots per second. We note another feature of the ammunition - in the production of a shot, a bullet, taking off from the barrel and hitting an obstacle, does not ricochet, which gives unique opportunities to use a submachine gun in closed rooms and limited spaces to free hostages or neutralize dangerous criminals.

In addition to the usual 9-mm cartridges, the designers provided for the possibility of using armor-piercing cartridges with a steel core. These armor-piercing ammunition can penetrate eight-millimeter armor ten meters away - this means that the PP-2000 will pierce through any of the existing body armor.

Another refinement Tula designers - spare clip, having 44 ammunition.

PP-2000 has a butt of folding action, and here the developers again used the Russian ingenuity - the additional clip easily becomes the place of the butt and performs its functions. This is very convenient when conducting combat operations - an additional shop can easily be removed from the butt location, which allows you to continue the fight without looking for an additional clip in the equipment.

PP-2000 - the best submachine gun in its class and significantly ahead of all the other submachine guns in basic characteristics.
The submachine gun is capable of performing its functions, striking opponents in body armor, and is also capable of striking the enemy in armored vehicles.

It is possible to use a submachine gun as an individual weapon for the crews of military equipment that are currently armed with AK-47 assault rifles.

The main characteristics of PP-2000:
- caliber 9 mm:
- ammunition 9x19 "Parabellum", armor-piercing 7H31;
- total length without stock 340 mm;
- width 43 mm;
- height 185 mm;
- ammunition - 20 cartridges in the main store, 44 in additional;
- maximum range of fire no more than 0.3 km;
- rate of fire 600 rds / min .;
- Weight without stores 1.4 kg.

Additional Information.

A submachine gun can be equipped with a target designator with a laser version of the Zenit-4EK, a silencer and a tactical flashlight.

Comments

[Sergh]

Hmm, I personally liked the machine, because I respect the Tula arms-makers, they do things on a global scale! But Gryazev and Shipunov are generally legendary people!

[Krilion]

in terms of performance, the machine is probably not bad, but as for the design, we can say - "made with one ax without a single nail" ... the product, which is obvious, to give it an aesthetic look, needs a fair amount of improvement with a file ... the butt is generally terrible, right away it is clear that the bar with the stop should be lengthened so that the stop coincides with the front handle and does not interfere with the access to the trigger ... ... the handle with the magazine makes a strange impression, with an inclination in the opposite direction than usual (forward), which immediately raises questions about ergonomics and ease of use ... so at first glance it seems to be not bad, but if you look closely - it's awful ... in general - another ugly duckling, vividly demonstrating the fact that designers absolutely do not care if their product will be interesting on the world market and Will anyone else besides the domestic Ministry of Internal Affairs or the Ministry of Defense show interest in him ...

in addition, it infuriates the manner of presenting a new product .. if you notice, then almost all the photos of samples of foreign small arms show us brand new products, neatly painted .. so I want to pick up ... but by some strange tradition of all photos of Russian weapons, the presented samples have a scratched appearance with peeling paint, frayed metal parts and scratched plastic or peeled wooden plates ...

[arhipelag]

the tilt of the handle in front is due to the short butt, which in turn is due to the small size. I am sure the ergonomics of the weapon is excellent!

[Almor]

!!! Well, who would doubt it, Krilion, as always, in his pragmatic form, decided to pour his cowardly dirt on the work of our Russian and competent gunsmiths ... what style and beauty do you need when such technical characteristics as ergonomics and efficiency are at stake, and the layers of paint are redundant the gloss for the weapon is definitely unnecessary ... Can you paint it in another color? Krillion type ...

[Krilion]

long thought about "cowardly dirt"?

[papik09]

Yeah, and a strip of yellow from one corner to another. I do not like yellow to him, then green.

[Morgan]

the glamorous little blue

[Motherland]

Weapons do not follow fashion but efficiency.

[Tyumen]

Yes, you are all right here. Almost all of our weapons look like PCA from a hardware store. BUT! Cost is orders of magnitude cheaper than Western ones, and reliability - at least by inheritance.

That's it because of people like you in Russia, nothing but AvtoVAZ that the whole world is laughing at has not been done.

[Motherland]

AvtoVAZ designer !? Not that you will end in a more harmony from Yudashkin.
And as they said in an auto transmission, Russians are building bad cars, but good tanks

[sedoj]

Nobody laughs at AvtoVAZ in the world. Niva and Lada run around Germany. But at the PP-2000, the handles are very close to each other. When shooting in bursts, when hands are nearby, it is very difficult to keep the weapon on the same line of fire.

[vadimus]

They would also have decent funding ... Then the design was at the level

[Tjumenec72]

I like the Tula KB, they get interesting results.
I didn’t hold it in my hands (for obvious reasons ) but if the ergonomics are modified a little, then it will finally be gorgeous.
A-91 is also good.

[maksim]

as always in our simple and reliable

[KuigoroZHIK]

It is possible to use a submachine gun as an individual weapon of crews of military equipment, which are currently armed with AK-47 assault rifles.

That’s quicker .... atoms very often the guys complain that the size of the AK is not a little for the crews.

[Phoenixl]

1. AKS-74U
2. The PP firing range should be less

[Alexandr_K]

The toy is interesting for its futuristic design, if only the butt would be modified, otherwise it spoils the whole aesthetics of the PP.

[Ion coaelung]

If you want, you can use a 44 round cartridge instead of a stock

[dred]

Is the butt shop convenient?

[boos24]

A worthy replacement for the AKC, I think it will take root in the riot police

[Tjumenec72]

cops and Hero will cost (cheaper go and easier to train)

[Owl]

"Vityaz" is much more reliable and easier to operate.

[Artemka]

Not a bad thing for special services.

[Almor]

... such an aggregate wouldn’t be bad for myself ...

[zavesa01]

For such machines it would be much more interesting to know the variation in automatic firing at a distance of 50m. As for the design, they really did with an ax (after assembly, process it with a file). With a weapon like a woman, at one glance a desire for possession should appear. This appaat is more like a citizen below average.

[zavesa01]

This model has already appeared in the comments on the Koch MP 7. I repeat here. Shooting is based on the free movement of the shutter and is conducted from the head sear; there will be a large spread at medium and long distances. The butt is at an angle to the trunk line, which also wakes up the scoring of the latter during automatic shooting. The free shutter proved itself well in pistols but in automatic weapons it was always a minus. In my opinion, a small-caliber MP is preferable because it has less recoil, it is easier and allows you to increase the portable ammunition. Regarding the stopping action of the bullet: there are expansive ones that are much more effective.
Although for an objective assessment I would like to shoot both but this is unlikely

[dobrik10]

I agree with some comments, beautiful hats and bows in emergency conditions will not help.
Practical, reliable and striking.

[Andrey77]

The machine is for specialists, and not for "showing off" to the policeman in the subway crossing. At first glance, the main point in the customer's specification is clear - hidden wearing.

[datur]

Andrey77, all the right weapons were made by order of specialists and not for sale like most western devices of this type - beautifully expensive but the functional minimum and better in the dash.

Along the way, the respected Krilion did not serve in the army, therefore, as, most likely, flawed. When I served in the Army, the AKs were dragged all the time - either on guard, then on the shooting range, then on the drill - it also happened with a machine gun. And nothing was rubbed, the coating was not scratched - prapora, officers said that these machines for 10 years in the army. So, if the machine is very shabby - then most likely, he is in his hands for about 50 years. Here is such a reliable machine.

And at school we had machines that we taught to disassemble - old teachers said that they were in the early 50s.

[Krilion]

I served as many years as you probably haven’t reached yet ... this time ... damaging, it’s you, since you did not understand the essence of my post .. this is two ...

[Municipality]

Oh, such a thing to me (don’t think about anything, just in case)

And if anyone doesn’t like the vidos, this is because in Russia weapons are not made for dudes, but for business

[mox]

Finally, they abandoned the PM cartridge; less than 50 years have passed.
Now to refine the ergonomics and get a decent machine for cops and security. I would not have taken such a PP to my crew. There is only one reason, a large dispersion, here he is not far from the "spit" AKSU.

[Michael HORNET]

In general, does the publishing editor on this site exist? Or can every journalist write any nonsense and this will be considered an article? I understand that a real journalist is one who does not understand the belmies in what he writes about, and this article is another confirmation of this
On the topic of software 2000- clumsy thing
Nothing enthusiastic can be said - the usual lightweight PP at 9 x19 (what an achievement, huh?) And the purchase price he has is such that, coupled with its mediocre characteristics, the idea involuntarily arises that the main purpose of its creation was to drink a budget dough;)
About 300 m at full range - where would she come from ???
