==Makarov PM==
==Makarov PM==
The [[Makarov PM]] pistol is used by military and secret services. Still used today in the Warsaw Treaty countries. In game is used by Mujahideen and soviet soldiers.
The [[Makarov PM]] pistol is used in-game by the Mujahideen Snipers and by Soviet soldiers. Strangely enough, it appears to be a commercial imported Makarov by Baikal, called the IJ-70. It features an adjustable rear sight, not seen on the military Makarov pistol. Also the finish is inferior to the original Makarov PM. In-game, this can be appreciated when looking at the HUD icon of the Makarov PM.
