Like the other common Russian army pistol of this era, the Makarov, the Stechkin uses a simple unlocked <a href="/wiki/Blowback_(arms)" class="mw-redirect" title="Blowback (arms)">blowback</a> mechanism and the <a href="/wiki/Trigger_(firearms)#Double-action/single-action" title="Trigger (firearms)">double action trigger</a>. What makes the Stechkin APS a machine pistol is that it has an automatic fire mode, which is selected using the safety lever. In burst or automatic fire, the pistol should be fitted with the wooden shoulder stock; otherwise, the weapon quickly becomes uncontrollable. The Stechkin was intended as a sidearm for artillery soldiers and tank crews, but in practice, it ended up earning a strong following in the ranks of political and criminal police forces. Many KGB and GRU operatives favored the Stechkin for its firepower and 20-round magazine. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Normal_skorpion_01.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/51/Normal_skorpion_01.jpg/220px-Normal_skorpion_01.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="145" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/51/Normal_skorpion_01.jpg 1.5x" data-file-width="300" data-file-height="198" /></a><figcaption>Czechoslovak <a href="/wiki/%C5%A0korpion_vz._61" class="mw-redirect" title="Škorpion vz. 61">Škorpion vz. 61</a></figcaption></figure> <p>The <a href="/wiki/%C5%A0korpion_vz._61" class="mw-redirect" title="Škorpion vz. 61">Škorpion vz. 61</a> is a Czechoslovak <a href="/wiki/.32_ACP" title=".32 ACP">7.65 mm or .32 ACP</a> machine pistol developed in 1959 and produced from 1961 to 1979.

The Skorpion's lower-powered .32 ACP cartridge, coupled with a rate-of-fire limiting device housed in the grip (which allows a reasonable rate of 850 RPM with a relatively light bolt), also makes it easier to control in full-auto than the more common 9 mm Parabellum designs.

The primary difference between the M951R and the original M1951 lay in the fire selector lever mounted on the right side of the weapon's frame, enabling either semi-automatic or continuous fire – labelled "SEM" and "AUT", respectively. Additionally, the weapon has a heavier slide, a folding wooden forward grip, an extended barrel and an extended magazine, increasing the capacity to 10 rounds. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="1970s–1980s"><span id="1970s.E2.80.931980s"></span>1970s–1980s</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Machine_pistol&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: 1970s–1980s"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Flickr_-_~Steve_Z~_-_Cobray_M11.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/df/Flickr_-_~Steve_Z~_-_Cobray_M11.jpg/220px-Flickr_-_~Steve_Z~_-_Cobray_M11.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="178" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/df/Flickr_-_~Steve_Z~_-_Cobray_M11.jpg/330px-Flickr_-_~Steve_Z~_-_Cobray_M11.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/df/Flickr_-_~Steve_Z~_-_Cobray_M11.jpg/440px-Flickr_-_~Steve_Z~_-_Cobray_M11.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1600" data-file-height="1298" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/MAC-11" title="MAC-11">MAC-11</a>, a compact version of the MAC-10</figcaption></figure> <p>The <a href="/wiki/MAC-10" title="MAC-10">MAC-10</a> and <a href="/wiki/MAC-11" title="MAC-11">MAC-11</a> were 1970s blowback-designed weapons with the magazine carried in the pistol grip and a select-fire switch.

This machine pistol has a lever-type select-fire switch, installed on the left side, at the rear of the serrated portion of the slide (selector lever in the bottom position for continuous fire, top setting for single fire). The firearm is typically used with an extended 33-round capacity magazine and may be fired with or without a shoulder stock. The pistol's rate of fire in fully automatic mode is approximately 1,100–1,400 RPM. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="1990s–2000s"><span id="1990s.E2.80.932000s"></span>1990s–2000s</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Machine_pistol&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: 1990s–2000s"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Steyr_TMP_9mmPara_001.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2d/Steyr_TMP_9mmPara_001.jpg/220px-Steyr_TMP_9mmPara_001.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2d/Steyr_TMP_9mmPara_001.jpg/330px-Steyr_TMP_9mmPara_001.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2d/Steyr_TMP_9mmPara_001.jpg/440px-Steyr_TMP_9mmPara_001.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1280" data-file-height="960" /></a><figcaption>Steyr TMP machine pistol</figcaption></figure> <p>Introduced in 1992, the <a href="/wiki/Steyr_TMP" title="Steyr TMP">Steyr TMP</a> (<i>Taktische Maschinenpistole</i> "tactical machine pistol") is a select-fire 9×19mm Parabellum machine pistol manufactured by <a href="/wiki/Steyr_Mannlicher" class="mw-redirect" title="Steyr Mannlicher">Steyr Mannlicher</a> of Austria.
