Polish attempts to modernize weapons.
Polish arms industry through a forced political situation by over 60 years remained injected in the Soviet doctrine of production and supply of shooting equipment. Even Czechs even though, your part 75 They gained picky western markets, They used caliber for the needs of their services in the country 9 Mak i7.62 tt… However, this does not mean, that in Poland there are not many attempts to modernize and outlined development projects for weapons remaining on the LWP States, SB or MO. As usual, not wanting to be groundless, I will only use examples with which I was in contact with - it is best to indicate this on the example of our native ,,tin woodcutter "which is a p83 vanada pistol.
At first glance you can see, that it is a mass product created with a view to arming unclear simple soldiers, who had one task - to be collective cannon meat according to death arithmetic. The rocket can destroy one city so it is worth sacrificing one tactical compound to destroy the rocket ... cheap, with a banal design, The pistol was relatively reliable in all this proverbial nail in the casket for people, which were planned for missions without a chance to return. Pocisk9 mm makarow jest bardzo destrukcyjny – tępogłowicowy o niedużej w sumie prędkości wylotowej (ok. 300m/s) He makes large holes in the opponent's body - the injuries are nasty (I saw a few shots with this caliber) - Small magazine capacity (Just 8 cartridge) They give a chance only for a one -off action, a gdyby ta nie wyszła zawsze można było sobie palnąć w łeb… Widząc te niedoskonałości polscy specjalisci pokusili się o kilka zmian i ulepszeń oto one.
– Pistol silencer - Saphorit - P83 version equipped with an integral sound silencer, inspired by the American pistol S&In MK0 ,,hush puppy,"Used by Navy Seals operators during the Vietnamese War. Saphoryt had a bow tie on the end of the silencer, enlarged trigger - the weapon did not maintain automation - after each shot it was necessary to reload the lock manually to remove the scales and introduce another missile to the chamber.
– Machine pistol P83M - Wanada conversion produced for protection M. Gaddaffi adapted to shoot with a continuous fire in a thirt - -lock series - switch with a fuse wing to the position of three red dots, powered from standard magazines - probably produced 12-20 pieces..
P-83 Sport-a precision shooting version equipped with enlarged manipulators, A longer barrel and a weapon that weaken the tosser - having sports adjustable sights - such a pistol was used by my guru Strzelecki, multiple Polish champion Edward Trejda (Thank you Edziu for everything)
– P-83 Export-the version was created for foreign markets-adapted to the 9 × 17 Browning caliber, Equipped with a slit Szczerbinka, z nowymi ergonomicznymi okładkami rękojeści z innymi nacięciami chwytu przeładowywania na zamku – produkowana w wersjach chromowanych, two colorful and black mats.
– P-83 G- Version for 9mm cs gas cartridges, CN and adapted for shooting the flare by the tightened to the barrel - probably the best quality gas weapon in the world - also used as a starter at sports competitions or a deterrent weapon by using bang ammunition
– P-83 dummy-rubber cast for use during self-defense classes.
– P-83 cross-section-copies with cutouts at the castle and skeleton to demonstrate the work of individual weapons mechanisms-interestingly, the cost of performing one cross-section exceeded about 10 times the sum of creating a combat version ...
– P-93-P-83 version to be its successor-a weapon without a wing fuse, with a tightened trigger - elongated barrel and aiming line, Glowing sights-in my opinion a very good pistol comparable to Sig-Sauer P232.
I suspect, that there were many other versions, prototypes, which were abandoned and did not go beyond construction offices.
