Talk:MP-443 Grach

More should be said about the firing mechanism

edit

The article claims the pistol has a double action, and mentions a partially-concealed hammer.

Since it's not described as a "Double Action Only," I usually expect to see something about a decocking mechanism. I do not see that here. Further, the photo showing the pistol broken down into its major components doesn't appear to show a hammer on the frame. I would expect to see one sticking up above the level of the frame's rails.

If this is a striker-fired pistol, which would explain the lack of any apparent hammer, it is misleading to describe it in any of the usual "something-action" terms, as these most usually describe firing mechanisms incorporating a hammer. While I do sometimes see them (weirdly) applied to striker-fired designs, I would hold the position that it is done in error.

I don't know this pistol, but I post this in hopes that someone who does might see how to improve upon the description of it.

MP-443 GrachMR-443 Grach – The Latin-looking "МР" is actually the Cyrillic letters "М" (Em) and "Р" (Er), which are normally transliterated as the Latin letters "M" and "R". As such, I propose that the article be moved to "MR-443 Grach", to "complete" the transliteration. If it is agreed to, MP-412 REX, MP-444 Bagira, MP-445 Varjag, MP-446 Viking, and MP-448 Skyph should also all be moved. Thanks, RadiculousJ (talk) 14:32, 8 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

The result of the move request was: Moved. Consensus in favour, and seems fairly clear from looking at Russian Wiki and also text on the gun itself (e.g. File:Traumatic_pistol_МР-353.jpg) that they are indeed Latin letters.  — Amakuru (talk) 12:54, 9 August 2018 (UTC)Reply



– During the previous page move discussion, it was stated that "The Latin-looking "МР" is actually the Cyrillic letters "М" (Em) and "Р" (Er)". However, in reality, the letters are in fact Latin, and not Cyrillic. They stood for "Mechanical Plant". This fact can be found on the Russian version of the page: "Буквы MP следует читать как латинские буквы, которые являются сокращением от Mechanical Plant (Механический завод)" (Machine Translated: The letters MP should be read as Latin letters, which are an abbreviation of the Mechanical Plant), with this page as its citation. Relevant paragraph from citation follows:

После долгих работ над возможными вариантами конструкции, многочисленных усовершенствований и доработок, готовый пистолет на ИЖМЕХ-е получил наименование MP-443, при чем MP следует читать как латинские буквы, которые являются сокращением от Mechanical Plant (Механический завод). Однако для официальных испытаний оружию был присвоен индекс 6П35. На научно-исследовательском полигоне Министерства обороны России пистолеты проходили испытания на ресурс, надежность функционирования в нормальных и затрудненных условиях (стрельба без смазки, при температуре – 50 до + 50 градусов по Цельсию, в условиях запыления, при дожде). Всего во время таких испытаний было произведено около 1500 выстрелов.

Machine translated:

After much work on possible variants of design, numerous improvements and revisions, the Ready pistol on Izhmeh-E got the name MP-443, at what MP should be read as Latin letters which are reduction from Mechanical Plant (mechanical Factory). However, for official tests the weapon was assigned the index 6p 35. At the research site of the Russian Ministry of Defense pistols were tested on the resource, reliability of functioning in normal and difficult conditions (shooting without lubrication, at a temperature of 50 to + 50 degrees Celsius, in conditions Dust, rain). In total during such tests about 1500 shots were fired.

The discussion simultaneously resulted in the renaming of MP-412 REX, MP-444 Bagira, MP-445 Varyag, MP-446 Viking, and MP-448 Skyph. These should all be reverted. Wuzh (talk) 10:07, 27 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
