As part of my travels in the Motherland I took the opportunity to visit this place. I had been there on my first trip but it was rather rushed, this time took a more leisurely visit and thought I would share some pictures of some unique items which caught my eye, enjoy
- Attachments
-
- Older generation Soviet jet fighters
-
- Armoured locomotive
-
- Sukhoi Su-27 Flanker, this thing is as big as a house, very impressive. More so was the MiG-31 standing behind it!
-
- It was snowing so the outside exhibits couldn't be enjoyed fully, but still impressive. Here's a Mi-24 Hind A gunship
-
- Personal armour plate which shrugged off a shotgun slug
-
- Some relics from the Kursk tragedy, very sad
-
- A personal highlight, the PSS pistol *and* the NRS shooting knife, both chambered for the same silent cartridge
-
- MON-50 Russian claymore mine equivalent
-
- *fap fap fap* AS Val and VSS integrally suppressed weapons
-
- Borz improvised submachinegun captured in Chechnya
-
- What appears to be a prototype for the four barrelled SPP-1 underwater pistol
-
- Ah bliss... Stechkin APS machine pistol with suppressor, and the integrally suppressed Makarov PB, both in 9x18mm
-
- Much of the wreckage is extensively perforated by fragments from the almost 200kg warhead of the SA-2 which brought it down, the pilot was lucky to survive.
-
- Part of the wreckage of Gary Powers' U-2 spyplane shot down over the USSR in 1960
-
- Tribute amply paid to the Soviet Union's vast manufacturing capacity, represented here by an industrial lathe. Dear Santa, is it too late?
-
- The crushing defeat of Nazi Germany is certainly emphasised, especially in this exhibit - "boooo! we captured so many Iron Crosses we don't know what to do with them! booooo!"

Love looking at war museums and such. Has anyone on Spudfiles designed a knife that shoots yet? I know we have a few ballistic knife designs. Combining a pen gun with a knife doesn't seem too hard...

Given the sort of loads these things usually pull I imagine it would have had a relatively small effect on performance. Also, that's nothing compared to the one they have at Kubinka that looks like a battleship on wheels!jrrdw wrote:Very nice indeed! Wonder how long it takes to get the locomotive up to speed.
Not to my knowledge. I had a little project with Jake for a knife that could shoot darts from its handle but that has been shelved for the time being.Has anyone on Spudfiles designed a knife that shoots yet? I know we have a few ballistic knife designs. Combining a pen gun with a knife doesn't seem too hard...
Definitely on my list is buying a full size combat knife to make a big shiny f***-off ballistic knife to end them all
Here's some details of the NRS from elsewhere:

Wow soviets shot down american spy plane
Consider putting this in your sig
I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have AA missiles and maps and, uh...

it isn't really about the first sentence - it's not your fault that your education system sucks...
But these two sentences:

All Russian "special purpose" weapons get my juices flowing, especially those that go "phutttt!"HunterT wrote:I feel the same way about the VSS
According to wikipedia it fires "fires a round-based 4.5 millimetres (0.18 in) caliber steel dart about 115 millimetres (4.5 in) long, weighing 12.8 grams (0.45 oz)" at around 800 feet per second in air.And underwater pistol?Was it harmful?Muzzle velocity?
Some idea of the damage it could caused can be seen looking at the similar but slightly larger rounds fired by other Russian underwater weapons, certainly not something you want to get in the way of:

Yeah,i checked the video
I thought its faster and this guy is shooting just bellow the surface.Velocity drops due to pressure increase.What is relationship between pressure and velocity?

A better question might be: "What is the relationship between pressure and drag/air resistance?"What is relationship between pressure and velocity?
And my best answer is: "Probably linear."

From here: http://www.tsniitochmash.ru/archive/wen.htm
killing range:
at a depth of 5 m -> 17m
20 m -> 11m
40 m -> 6m

At greatest possible ranges of fire under water the pistol provides defeat of a target found in a diving suit with a porolon (flexible polyurethane foam) padding and protected by organic glass of 5 mm thickness.
