Title: Soyuz gun ID?
Post by: Suzy on 02/01/2009 02:53 am

Regarding the gun carried on the Soyuz (a "simple pistol" to replace the 3-barreled gun, as described in this 2007 article (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/1565684/Russians-blast-off-without-space-pistol.html)), does anyone know what brand it is - a Makarov, maybe?
