9mm PP-91 KEDR and PP-9 KLIN
Mission
An open-type sighting system comprises a foresight and a flip sight. A folding butt is designed to provide maximum comfort to its user when firing at maximum ranges. Rounds fed from a 20- or 30-round two-row box magazine are accommodated chequerwise. When magazine is empty, the slide is retained in the rear position. The PP-9 Klin sub-machine gun with a barrel noise/flame suppressor has been derived from PP-91. The chamber of the PP-9 gun has a special design used to delay extraction of used cartridges. It enables employment of both the 9x18mm PM and 9x18mm highimpulse PMM rounds. Its effective range is increased up to 150 m when new rounds are used. The Kedr and Klin sub-machine guns are in service with the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The PP-91 Kedr is a light-weight submachine gun, and is one of the world’s most compact assets of the type. PP-91 fires the 9x18mm PM rounds. Bullets do not ricochet when employed in built-up areas. Light weight and small size enhance weapon’s efficiency in close-quarter combat.
General description PP-9 is a bolt-action weapon of a conventional design with the magazine accommodated in front of the trigger guard. Firing is performed from the front sear; a trigger mechanism enables employment of the sub-machine gun both in the single-shot and burst modes. A hammer unit is a trigger-type device, which considerably increases accuracy of single shots. A safety catch is used to block the trigger and slide; in this position the lever of the catch is accommodated in the opening of the trigger guard, which can be determined by touch.
