The last decade of the 20th century in the post-Soviet space turned out to be incredibly restless. How joking main character one feature film: "... catastrophes, prostitution, banditry and shortages in the army." All this was true for those troubled times. Of course, in such a turbulent time, the police were not easy. So, what were the law enforcement officers armed with in those years?

1. Makarov pistol


widely known self-loading pistol, which was developed by the Soviet designer Nikolai Fedorovich Makarov back in 1948. It was accepted into service in 1951. It was used as a personal weapon not only by employees law enforcement but military. Without cartridges, this device weighs 0.73 kg. The cartridge used is 9x18 mm PM. The combat rate of fire is 30 rounds per minute, and the aiming range is 50 meters. The pistol is powered by an 8-round magazine.

2. Pistol Yarygin "Rook"


Self-loading pistol already Russian production. Serially produced at the Izhevsk Mechanical Plant. Weight is 0.95 kg. The cartridge used is 9x19 mm Parabellum. Sighting range identical to PM - 50 meters. The weapon is fed from an 18-round magazine. Produced since the late 90s.

3. Submachine gun "Vityaz"


The Vityaz is a 9mm submachine gun that was developed by Izhmash in 2004 specifically for units of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs. The weapon got its name from the name of the unit, which was originally supposed to. The design of this weapon was based on the AKS-74U assault rifle. The weapon has good ergonomics compared to the AK. Weight without magazine - 2.9 kg. Sighting range - 200 meters. The weapon is fed from magazines for 30 rounds.

4. AKS-74U


Where are the organs without genuine "classics". Although "U" can be safely considered a weapon of very dubious characteristics, this machine has been in service with the Ministry of Internal Affairs for many decades. Weight without cartridges is 2.7 kg. The ammunition used is a cartridge of caliber 5.45x39 mm. The effective range reaches 500 meters, and the effective range is no more than 300 meters. Ammunition is supplied from a 30-round box magazine.

5.TT


In the 90s, law enforcement officers could still see the old, but not good (contrary to the popular "popular" opinion) Tula Tokarevs. For the Second world war and the post-war period in the USSR made about 1,740,000 TT. Not all of them were shot and carried through the bullet casing. A lot of TTs were "clean". As a result, the pistol became one of the most stolen weapons in the 90s and was in constant demand among criminals.

6. PMM


The modernized Makarov pistol was developed in the early 90s. Weapons were used both in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and in the army. Weight without cartridges is 0.76 kg. The cartridge used is 9x19 mm PMM. Sighting range - 50 meters. It feeds from a 12-round magazine.

7. PR-73 and PR-90


Behind the "terrible" abbreviation is the usual "Rubber Stick", a non-lethal weapon used by police around the world. In the 90s, a fundamentally new baton was also created under the name PUS-2 Argument. Initially, this baton was used only by riot police.

In continuation of the topic, even more interesting things about weapons! But this time we will talk about the most and the helmet.

It is noted here that it is allowed to direct combat units of weapons at persons who carry out an offense potentially dangerous for the life of citizens, try to harm animals, take possession of infrastructure or vehicles.

In most cases, to prevent offenses, it is enough to use a pneumatic service weapon for self-defense.

In this situation, the destruction of various structural elements with the help of weapons is allowed, which prevents further advancement into the premises. At the same time, notifying the owners of the object is an optional measure.

Representatives of this structure are allowed to use service weapons of the Ministry of Internal Affairs when performing an operation to stop a moving vehicle. Such decisions are allowed in the presence of a potentially dangerous situation for the civilian population. If the aggressive driver does not stop ignoring the demands to stop, mechanical damage to the vehicle using weapons is allowed.

In special situations, firing leads to human losses. In such cases, the police officer must prove that there are legal grounds for such a decision by submitting a written report.
