The '''Stechkin APS''' (Russian: Автоматический Пистолет Стечкина, "Stechkin's automatic pistol") is a Soviet select-fire machine pistol. It was designed between 1948 and 1949 by Igor Stechkin based on a request from the Soviet Army for a new compact defensive weapon for vehicle and artillery crews as the [[PPSh-41]] and [[PPS-43]] were recently declared obsolete and the [[AK-47]] assault rifle was seen as too bulky to store and use in the cramped interior of a tank cabin. It fires via straight-blowback and features many design choices also seen on the [[Makarov PM]] pistol. It also features a combination stock and holster, similar to the [[Mauser C96]]. The APS was first issued in 1951 and was praised for its innovate design and relatively good controllability for a machine pistol, but was also derided for its heavy weight, limited effective range, high cost, and poor ergonomics, especially when fitted with the stock. The APS would eventually be phased out of service in favor of the [[AKS-74U]] compact carbine. | |||
The APS and the later APB model were both favored by Spetsnaz teams during the Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan and would later see use during the First and Second Chechen Wars, War in Afghanistan, Syrian Civil War, and the War in Donbass. Today, the APS is still used by Russian law enforcement organizations, who prize its compact firepower in close-quarters engagements. In this case, it is usually seen carried in a traditional pistol holster as opposed to its proprietary stock/holster combo. | |||

==Stechkin APB== | |||
'''The Stechkin APB''' is a modernized variant, fitted with a threaded barrel for mounting a suppressor. It also uses a lighter and more comfortable wire-frame stock instead of the [[C96]]-style wooden combination holster-stock on the original APS. It is worth noting that all existing APBs are not produced, but are converted from surplus APSes of the 1950s release. | |||

Stechkin APS
The Stechkin APS (Russian: Автоматический Пистолет Стечкина, "Stechkin's automatic pistol") is a Soviet select-fire machine pistol. It was designed between 1948 and 1949 by Igor Stechkin based on a request from the Soviet Army for a new compact defensive weapon for vehicle and artillery crews as the PPSh-41 and PPS-43 were recently declared obsolete and the AK-47 assault rifle was seen as too bulky to store and use in the cramped interior of a tank cabin. It fires via straight-blowback and features many design choices also seen on the Makarov PM pistol. It also features a combination stock and holster, similar to the Mauser C96. The APS was first issued in 1951 and was praised for its innovate design and relatively good controllability for a machine pistol, but was also derided for its heavy weight, limited effective range, high cost, and poor ergonomics, especially when fitted with the stock. The APS would eventually be phased out of service in favor of the AKS-74U compact carbine.
The APS and the later APB model were both favored by Spetsnaz teams during the Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan and would later see use during the First and Second Chechen Wars, War in Afghanistan, Syrian Civil War, and the War in Donbass. Today, the APS is still used by Russian law enforcement organizations, who prize its compact firepower in close-quarters engagements. In this case, it is usually seen carried in a traditional pistol holster as opposed to its proprietary stock/holster combo.

Stechkin APB
The Stechkin APB is a modernized variant, fitted with a threaded barrel for mounting a suppressor. It also uses a lighter and more comfortable wire-frame stock instead of the C96-style wooden combination holster-stock on the original APS. It is worth noting that all existing APBs are not produced, but are converted from surplus APSes of the 1950s release.
