The Makarov pneumatic pistol is an almost complete copy of the real, combat "Makarov", which made the name of its creator famous throughout the world. The main difference between the pneumatic version is, of course, much less power, smaller caliber and the need to use gas canisters. Outwardly, it cannot be distinguished from the combat version - everything is verified and recreated to the smallest detail. The pneumatic Makarov pistol is also identical in strength, ease of use and workmanship.
The main advantage of PP is the lack of the need to obtain a license to wear them. Of course, the power of pneumatics cannot be very large or at least comparable to traumatic weapons, but getting it is much easier, and the prices for it are not too high.
Currently, there are a huge number of different pistols and rifles equipped with gas cylinders, a system of "inflation" and "fracture". The spread in prices and power is very large - some cost very little, the price of others is comparable to the price of military weapons; the power of some is enough for a full-fledged hunt, but from others it is not possible to split the can from ten steps.
On the market of "safe weapons" Makarov pneumatic pistols are one of the most popular. This is not surprising. Still: an analogue, though not too powerful, of the most famous Russian combat pistol, which does not require any permission to wear!

The bullet’s flight speed (initial) is approximately 110 meters per second, the store holds 12 balls of 4.5 caliber, and there is the possibility of firing with self-cocking.
Bullets are used steel spherical, spray cans - 12 grams, filled with CO 2 gas .
