APS スチェッキン・マシンピストル スチェッキン スチェッキンAPS
The [b]APS[/b] (Russian: АПС, Автоматический Пистолет Стечкина) is a Soviet select-fire [[handgun|machine pistol]] chambered in 9×18mm Makarov and 9×19mm Parabellum, designed by Igor Stechkin. Introduced into [[soviet army|Soviet military]] service in 1951 for use with artillery/mortar crews, as well as vehicle crews. The [[gun|weapon]] was praised for its innovative concept and good controllability for its size. However, the high production cost, complex machining, limited effective range, and fragile detachable [[shoulder stock]] became the major issues.

The APS utilizes straight-blowback mechanism, fed through default 20-round magazines. It shares features with the [[Makarov PM]], such as a heel-mounted magazine release, slide-mounted safety lever, and field-strip procedure.
