The Soviet Russian PSS Silent Pistol 7.62x41 Round
Ғылым және технология
Today we're looking at a rarely seen example of the Soviet 7.62x41 round, which was made for use with the PSS silent pistol. This 6 shot pistol was designed from the ground up to be a silent assassination weapon, with specially designed ammo which traps all the exploding gas in the casing, thus eliminating a great deal of the noise associated with discharge.

Little goof-up there, the pistol is abbreviated "PSS", not "SPP". The Steyr SPP is the brother to the TMP and MP9, in fact ur video of it is right there in the suggestions. The PSS' full designation is "Pistolet Sptsialnyj Samozaryadnyj" or something along those lines, which translates to something like "self-loading special pistol"
Navy Seals had a similar round but in 12gauge. An aluminium 12gauge shell shaped like a capsule but the top half was collapsed back into itself with a few no4 buck. The small powder charge caused the front half to pop back out, propelling the buckshot. Silent except for a kind of pop. Zero flash since the explosion was contained in the shell. My explanation sucks without a pic. Although very quiet, the main intent was the ZERO muzzle flash, being intended for night fighting so as not to give away the Seals position.

Yeah I'd like to hear it's name if yall can find it. Never heard if the 12 model yet. I guess in theory if ya find the ammo it will fire in any 12 gauge assuming it's not a semi auto?
Yeah i consider those Russian rounds like ballistic billiard balls in how they work lol. Pretty awesome
Very interesting round! Really neat it was fired in Chechnya! I find having casings actually fired from different conflicts really adds to a collection
