RSH-12 assault pistol 12, 7 mm

RSH-12 (assault gun 12, 7mm)

Very strange, semi-mythical slonoboy. Let's start with a brief description - it is simply the most powerful in the world of combat pistol (Tselisku not remember - it is hunting, and only on the orders) under the cartridge of a large-caliber sniper rifle. The history of these weapons began in the early 2000-tion's when in Tula KBP was created in Rifle VSSK exhaust (and its variant - FSI).





The fact is that if in ancient times (50 years ago) about Special Forces used the same weapon that the army. If soldiers were AKM, the commandos walked with AKMSL - the same bullets - 7 62h39mm. Then, in the late 1980-ies Special Forces moved to 9h39mm cartridges, and therefore new weapons for them - BCC Vintorez and AU Val (and later the SR-3 Vortex, etc.). In early 2000-tion in the PCU, as already mentioned, a new sniper rifle chambered for the Special Forces 12 7h55mm. And it is fine if you were limited to only a rifle, but in 2011 at the same PCU were created Assault Machine AL-12, 7 under the same cartridges, and suddenly, even assault gun RSH-12, 7 again under the same cartridges.

And VSSK Exhaust enough time to take pictures with the DB-12, 7 have only four or five pictures, but with the RSH-12, 7 only one picture. It is this photograph and is at the beginning of the topic. For those who nedopёr - RSH-12, 7 in the hands of the plump man in the blue tie in the foreground. half of all the information on this revolver comes from this picture ... And so let us consider it. For a start - a cartridge. In order to realize the power of this cartridge have to walk a bit of history. here for example in the United States is very popular revolvers chambered for .357 Magnum, which is equal in size - 9h33mm. This cartridge is much more powerful than the 9x19mm Parabellum for stopping power, as well as not so much, but surpasses it and the breakdown.

Such guns are sometimes still used even in the army of NATO. As Americans respect the .44 Magnum cartridge, or 10 9h33mm. It is even more terrible for stopping power chuck, surpassing even the .45 ACP (the famous Colt) in this parameter. According to anti-armor he also far exceed the .45 ACP. Revolvers these cartridges have ordinary people loving powerful cannon, as well as selectively in some very surprising US Army officers, who bought it themselves. And then there are revolvers chambered for the .500 Smith & Wesson Magnum, or 12 7h41mm. The cartridge is designed specifically for hunting large zhivotnyh.V military purposes it is not used because it is too powerful. This cartridge is much more powerful than even the cartridge .50 AE (12 7h33mm), which is used in the famous Desert Eagle pistol. But even such a monster like slonoboyny .500 Smith & Wesson pales in comparison to 12 patrons, 7h55mm that powerful it almost in half ... It is from such cartridges and created Revolver Assault - RSH-12 7. And these very many patrons :
PS-12A with a very light bullet. Spout Ustovo shooting action in a city with the civilian population. The fact that light bullet at small distances according to the enemy with all their might, which can lead to loss of limbs, and even something for the worse, but more than 100 meters of the bullet has very good loses power and is not able to kill a man (random Gawker).

PD-12 duplex bullet. In general, all as in the PS-12A, but the bullet is not one, but two bullets hammered each other in the sleeve. that is, the shot at the enemy takes off not one, but two bullets. This helps to create a higher density of fire (as a rule - the barrier). While the bullets - light and flying 100 meters one did not drink too much.
PS-12 with a heavy bullet. The simplest structurally cartridge. Similar in construction to the same Magnum, given the fact that for a lot longer and more powerful. It has an incredible stopping power and enough penetrating power. His work to sway non-armored equipment, wooden walls, to disconnect a unarmored infantry, as well as a push for bulletproof vests, informing their owners a stopping power, even if hit survive Armor, the owner - probably not.

PS-12B with armor-piercing bullet. It's all very bad. The fact that all of the above cartridges labeled "Magnum", intended for shooting unarmored targets - that is, from the main force to a punch as hard as possible for the purpose of making this fly in the opposite direction. PS-12B, also has just armor-piercing bullet, kotoroya keeps all this wild stopping power, but that has simply terrible stopping power - she calmly hit 6 protection class and even higher, leaving no chance of any of the existing (2013) bulletproof vests, as well as a large number of light armored vehicles, even in the forehead.

SP-130 sniper. The one cartridge that is essential for exhaust VSSK - allows extremely accurate shooting at a distance of 500 meters. Revolver - modest.
With such cartridges the question arises - what is the payoff from RSH-12, 7? It turns out it is very sanity - at the same .44 Magnum. As designers have achieved such a result? Murky mystery. Although there is speculation. For example we can assume that the FIN-12, 7 is extremely ergonomic handle combined with extremely powerful DTC. But the most important reason for the decline is probably recoil layout. The fact is that if substantially all of the guns firing uppermost chambers drum, the RSH-12 7 shoots from the bottom. That is his trunk is significantly lower when compared with the majority of revolvers. Because of this, when firing lever is considerably less and hence the strength of the impact is much less. Next, looking at the gun, we can note that it is very, very healthy. in length, it has neither as no less than 30cm, and then all of 40cm. This makes it extremely bulky, even for large-caliber revolver.

See more - under the barrel has a long Picatinny rail. It seems to be to install the LCC and tactical lights, although that does not prevent her to establish a strategic lever (Dimensions RSH-12, 7 permit) for an even more comfortable hold it in your hands. Above the barrel there is another Picatinny rail for mounting the collimator, and even optical sights low multiplicity. More than anything especially interesting sight. And so - we have a huge gun size and weight that is too powerful even for shooting bears a bullet sposobnuyuyu sway LME, as well as different accuracy battlefield. Store it, according to unconfirmed reports, - Quick-drum for 5 rounds (logical - not vlezut 6, 4 - quite a few). And that, it turns out that it is too great and too powerful a weapon to use it as a spare. I suppose that this gun is used rather as a primary weapon in the storming of buildings. Its size is still smaller than that of the smallest shotgun and cartridge much more powerful and allows you to ignore vests and thick walls. Drum 5 units may be sufficient, as the rate is not high at the revolver and accuracy - on the contrary. But of course we should not exclude that the frostbitten much people can use it as a backup weapon, as an alternative to, or Makarov Stechkin. By sodaleniyu significantly on this revolver is known very little, suggesting that information about it is classified, and thus himself a revolver entered only in the elite special forces of the FSB and the GRU and simple soldiers did not see.
