PP 19 Bizon

Design team of Bizon was headed by at izhmash by Victor Kalashnikov, son of Mikhail Klashinikov and incidentally designed by the Alexi, son of Evgeny Dragunov. The Bizon uses a simple straight blowback method of operation, an unlocked breech system reduces cost and build complexity. The Bizon's operating cycle is characterized by a very short recoil stroke, standard 9x18mm ammunition will only drive the bolt partially to the rear of the receiver and produces a cyclic rate of 700 rounds/min.High-impulse ammunition forces the bolt to travel all the way to the end of the receiver, barely striking the receiver wall. A rate of fire of 650–680 rounds/min is the result. This has the effect of reducing perceived recoil and increasing controllability and hit probability. Also It uses a spiral magazine that holds 64 9mm Makarov rounds or 53 9mm parabellum rounds!!!!
