Izhevsk MP-486 Gadyuka

9x23mm 7N46 machine pistol.

 

A powerful select-fire machine pistol developed at the behest of the Russian federal army, intended to replace the older MP-443 Grach and Makarov PM, both of which were previously in service.

 

Based off of multiple pistol prototypes, the MP-486 bears some resemblance of the cancelled HK UCP, limited production Archwell AMP-9, first-generation Glock, FN Five-seven, and the Grach.

 

The proprietary 9x23mm 7N46 round that the MP-486 fires is a diminutive variant of the normal 9x23mm used by the VSS Vintorez - it has a shorter casing with a more powerful powder load, giving the pistol rifle-grade firepower at the expense of higher recoil.

 

The pistol is truly deadly when set in full auto, as the Gadyuka fires at a monstrous 1350 RPM, remarkably faster than any machine pistol in the market, but to tame the recoil generated while firing at such rates is a whole different affair.

 

Other features include a threaded barrel for special operations, 20-round magazine, bottom rail mount, a pressure switch pocket for tactical laser and flashlights, and a unique hammer that serves a chamber load indicator, and is decocked when the safety is on.
