Russian underwater guns

Very cool.

A pistol called the SSP-4M.  Looks like a COP 4-barrel pocket pistol, but the cartridge shoots a big steel spike rather than a little lead bullet.  The intent is to dramatically increase momentum since water sucks velocity so quickly.

And...

the APS rifle!

The 5.66mm APS underwater assault rifle.

Magazine-fed.

We now have an official underwater pirate hunting rifle to use, courtesy of the ruskies.  I expect Micro to begin translating all necessary manuals and reloading data post-haste. :lol:

They have some pepperbox pistols or two-shot derringer styles that use a x39-based internally suppressed case-telescoping cartridge too.


HK has a similar product, a five shot pepperbox pistol that fires darts, but it's not field-reloadable. Once fired, it must be sent to HK for reloading.  =|

Point of Interest.

If the pirates are under water, then haven't we accomplished the mission?

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

"APS Underwater SMG."  Do want.  No I don't have a use for it.  I just want it.
