Russian Bizon 9mm Helical-Feed SMG
May 26, 2008 2:32 pm
The PP-19 Bizon was the Russian implementation of the Calico weapon design, designed by the son of Mikhail Kalashnikov, the legendary creator of the AK-47. It uses a helical 64-round magazine mounted below the body of the weapon, and otherwise retains the standard design of the source firearms - the Kalashnikov AK-74 assault rifles. Supposedly some early models had an ammunition counter built into the magazine. The standard Bizon 2 SMG is chambered in 9mm x 18mm Makarov, but variants exist chambered in 9 x 17mm Browning Shor (.380 Automatic), 9 x 19mm Parabellum and 7.62 x 25mm Tokarev.

Ah the Bizon, the mini-me of the AK world.
This ranks as one of my favorite SMG’s based purely on style and concept. No need for a big magazine sticking out the bottom. It’s just sleek and reliable.
HOORAY for guns! I likes to shootz stuff
BO SELECTA
