In the book "The most popular examples of modern automatic pistols in the world" we consider the most successful models of these weapons and learn their history of creation and modernization. Pistols are the most common type of combat and service firearms; it is used not only by military personnel and officers of special services, but also ordinary citizens for self-defense or shooting sports. A modern pistol is a short-barreled weapon, the effective range of which is 25-50 meters. Most modern pistols are rifled, self-loading and non-automatic (usually) weapons. The capacity of the classic pistol magazine is 8-9 rounds, although lately there are more and more models with a capacity of up to twenty rounds. Pistols in their usual form - this is the brainchild of the twentieth century, although the first samples of these weapons appeared in the XV century. The first pistols were fitted with a wick lock, which was replaced by a wheel lock, and then a flintlock. However, they were all single-charge, quite heavy and demanded a lot of time to recharge. Therefore, in the second half of the XIX century pistols were very quickly replaced by revolvers..... Content: Walther P99, Germany Berett
