GSh-18 6P54 ГШ-18 6П54
The [b]GSh-18[/b] is a Russian semi-automatic [b][[handgun|pistol]][/b] developed by "KBP Instrument Design Bureau":[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KBP_Instrument_Design_Bureau] in the late 1990s. The pistol's name is derived from the initials of its designers, Gryazev and Shipunov, as well as the its standard [[magazine (weapon)|magazine]] capacity of 18 rounds. 

The GSh-18 is a rotating-barrel, short-recoil, locked-breech pistol with 10 locking lugs spaced equally around the barrel. These lugs provide a large locking surface area, resulting in a strong lockup. While the GSh-18 can use standard 9×19mm Parabellum rounds, it was designed to use the higher-velocity, Russian [[body armor|armour]]-piercing 7N31 9×19mm [[ammunition|round]]. The pistol incorporates a pre-set striker, in a similar manner to the [[Glock]]. The frame is made of polymer. The GSh-18 pistol is of incredibly simple design and construction, containing only 17 total parts.
