Rook will replace Makarov
The Ministry of Internal Affairs claims that rearmament is a logical continuation of last year’s reforms. According to the interlocutor of Expert Online, the police, for the first time since the middle of the last century, have been equipped with local police and guards with pistols and machine guns adapted specifically for the city. He believes that there is only one inconvenience in this rearmament - the need to train people to use this particular, fundamentally new weapon. The ability to shoot from Makarov and Kalashnikov will not help here.
These models of weapons for decades were in service with the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Defense. It was convenient: the commanders could be sure that the young policeman, who had been admitted to the ranks of the PPS, would be able to fire a Kalashnikov or a Makarov pistol. According to experts, now the employees and retraining will have to spend weeks and months. Submachine guns "Vityaz" and pistols "Grach" - a completely new powerful weapon.
The rearmament process will be divided into stages, as they say in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. To begin, the rearmament of police special forces began: the first pistols of the new design were received by the fighters of the Moscow special forces. Police Major-General Vyacheslav Khaustov, head of the Special Purpose Center of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation for Moscow, promised that the staff of the special-purpose center would use the new, more comfortable Yarygin “Grach” pistol.
Experts say that the Kalashnikov assault rifle and the Makarov pistol are weapons intended for use in military conditions, and not in the city. According to experts, the weapon that served faithfully to the units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for half a century is hopelessly outdated. One of the special forces fighters, with whom we managed to talk to the journalist of Expert Online, acknowledged that the tactical, technical and combat characteristics of the Yarygin pistol are higher.
"Rook" hits more heap, the bullet has a stopping effect - the bullet hit the target does not fly right through, but gets stuck in the body. Also, the bullet has a lower rebound ability, and this is extremely important when used in a city.
Shop Makarov pistol is designed for eight rounds, while the "Rook" - at seventeen, which is also a significant advantage.
Soon the police will change the Kalashnikov army machine for a more modern weapon. According to the plan, PP-2000 Vityaz, a fundamentally new automatic weapon, will go into service with the special forces and road police units. According to experts, the 9-millimeter machine Kalashnikov is more compact, moreover, has less impact. Again, “Vityaz” is intended for close combat, has a greater accuracy of fire, and the capacity of its store is 44 cartridge. Also, the rate of fire "Vityaz" higher than that of the AKS-74 caliber 5,45 mm.
The bullet intended for the new machine also has a number of advantages, for example, increased penetrability. The AKS-74 had a serious problem - bullets with an offset center of gravity often hit the passers-by. It was for this reason that various police units claimed that the Kalashnikov short-barreled automatic weapons were unsuitable for shooting in the city.
