PP-27 “Wedge-2”

- an experienced Russian submachine gun with balanced automatics, developed at the Izhevsk Machine-Building Plant. It has a layout according to the Uzi scheme.

Design features

The fundamental difference is the presence of a forward-moving barrel, kinematically connected to the bolt. When fired, the bolt moves backward under the influence of recoil force, and the barrel connected to it through two levers moves forward. This allows not only to reduce the length of the weapon due to the short stroke of the moving parts, but also to some extent compensate for the recoil force acting on the shooter as a result of the collision of the barrel and the bolt in the extreme position. This, in turn, reduces the impact of recoil on the shooter and reduces dispersion. The accuracy of the first shot is ensured by a striker-type firing mechanism.

Excerpt characterizing Klin-2 (submachine gun)

“I came to sit with you, Mashenka,” said the nanny, “but I brought the prince’s wedding candles to light in front of the saint, my angel,” she said with a sigh. - Oh, I'm so glad, nanny. - God is merciful, my dear. - The nanny lit candles entwined with gold in front of the icon case and sat down with the stocking by the door. Princess Marya took the book and began to read. Only when steps or voices were heard, the princess looked at each other in fear, questioningly, and the nanny. In all parts of the house the same feeling that Princess Marya experienced while sitting in her room was poured out and possessed everyone. According to the belief that the fewer people know about the suffering of a woman in labor, the less she suffers, everyone tried to pretend not to know; no one spoke about this, but in all the people, in addition to the usual sedateness and respect for good manners that reigned in the prince’s house, one could see one common concern, a softness of heart and an awareness of something great, incomprehensible, taking place at that moment. No laughter could be heard in the big maid's room. In the waitress all the people sat and were silent, ready to do something. The servants burned torches and candles and did not sleep. The old prince, stepping on his heel, walked around the office and sent Tikhon to Marya Bogdanovna to ask: what? - Just tell me: the prince ordered me to ask what? and come tell me what she says. “Report to the prince that labor has begun,” said Marya Bogdanovna, looking significantly at the messenger. Tikhon went and reported to the prince. “Okay,” said the prince, closing the door behind him, and Tikhon no longer heard the slightest sound in the office. A little later, Tikhon entered the office, as if to adjust the candles. Seeing that the prince was lying on the sofa, Tikhon looked at the prince, at his upset face, shook his head, silently approached him and, kissing him on the shoulder, left without adjusting the candles or saying why he had come. The most solemn sacrament in the world continued to be performed. Evening passed, night came. And the feeling of expectation and softening of the heart in the face of the incomprehensible did not fall, but rose. Nobody was sleeping.

Submachine gun PP-27 “KLIN-2” (USSR)

About the 9-mm KEDR submachine guns and its modernization for the reinforced cartridge "KLIN" of the Izhevsk mechanical Tula TsKIB SOO, actually developed under the army "Bouquet" program, carried out in the early 70s, and the newer PP-90 of the Tula Quite a lot is known about the KBP adopted for supplying units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, although not everything. The simpler "WEDGE" and "KEDR" have taken root in the patrol service, the more accurate and practical "Cypress" - in special forces units, and the PP-90, from which, due to imperfect design, more of their own people were shot than bandits - in warehouses for use during special periods. But the mentioned winners also had rivals who are practically forgotten today. These included a submachine gun of a very original design called PP-27 “WEDGE-2” .
