@ДмитрийГаврилов-ы3о You will miss your head. My neighbor had an old Russian Nagant revolver. He was showing off and let me dry fire. The trigger was was horrible. I needed to use two fingers for double action. Ofcourse it has a very cool feature - drum to barrel gap sealing, but it is a bitch to shoot in double action.

@Tomlis96 Back in the old days, you wouldn't have a job in the Bulgarian police if you couldn't hit a balloon at 50, and there were people who could do it at 100 meters. The Makarov is more accurate than the shooter and it is easier to carry than 99% of the guns on the market today.

It looked like a hot day. He was very lucky with the good weather.

@ДмитрийГаврилов-ы3о Well, Bulgarian seems harder for Russians to understand than Russian to Bulgarians, so English it is. 🤷‍♂️ Berti raised an interesting point, I didn't know that the drum doesn't rotate freely. So you are saying - one needs to press the trigger slightly to unlock the drum, to make it rotate?

@khatuntsovmikhail6223 гръм - thunder грозота - ugliness заплаха - threat To create "Russian" the Greek shareholders of Corporation "Ρωσία" removed the "ъ" character from the Bulgarian alphabet, so you wouldn't know how to read it. It is pronounced like the English suffix "-er".

@LoanwordEggcorn Must be difficult to go to job interviews in Switzerland. You never know which language you will strike. They probably all need to learn German or the Swiss version of it.

Makarov does fine at 50 - 100. He needs to talk to Bulgarian police.

@ThePolish2107 Well yes, it is assumed you will practice at least once a week and be used to your gun. I just don't get his hyperbole. And the 7.62 Tokarev was a more powerful cartridge than Makarov. Definitely not "for suicides only".

@TheSSHR But tesla is a Bulgarian word, so it was a Bulgarian family.😁

@aleksa3025 No tesla is Bulgarian word.

@PobortzaPl Unfortunately, no. It belongs to a very private collection of antiques and the guy has long since moved to the country to live in his village of birth. Maybe it wasn't cleaned properly. Who knows what the story is there.

@lup7271 Yes, it's a Hollywood myth. Hollywood has a penchant for painting all things East European - dark and gloomy. Russia gets a lot of that too.

@sagqe Traditionally we drunk very strong brandy heated on the fire, in Bulgaria. I never understood why it has to be heated in the winter, but when it is hot it does actually warm you up a little. Then again, if get a -15 or a -20 day, we call that a very cold winter in Bulgaria. So I guess cold alcohol is a definite no-no.

They commissioned the HK51 originally, because they found - if you aim at the hostage, you will shoot everyone else but the hostage.

@hailexiao2770 No, ofcourse not. Nobody shoots beyond 20-30 meters in the city. My point is the gun can be used as a combat/military pistol without a problem. There are not that many shootings in Bulgaria.
2
@berryreading4809 Not the East European steel core ammo. You shoot once inside room with the AK, you get 3 holes back allover the place. Pistol rounds ricochet especially on marble tiles but not as bad as a rifle cartridge.

You doing it wrong. Shoot from the hip SOF Magazine style. Aim low, let the rifle lift itself on the target. 😃

@dabtican4953 Ukraine is scary cold in the winter too. I had to wait for a interstate bus outside. I had two pairs of thick socks and I couldn't feel my feet after a couple of hours. Finland must even colder.

@dabtican4953 If it gets -15 to -20 on very rare occasions, we call that a very cold winter in Bulgaria. LOL

@mindaugasstankunas4241 Well, they anointed one of the gloomiest cities in Europe - "the City of Love". There is clear bias and it has deeper and more ancient roots than Cold War propaganda. The Corporation State "Russia" had foreign shareholders since Peter "the Great", established it. I agree that they've always treated the poor Moscovites like Human Resources, but this is how they treat their West European serfs, too. Yet they have a worse attitude towards us by the fact they turned our countries into Jesuit Reductions for 50+ years. If you don't know what I am talking about, research the blueprint for Communism - the South American Jesuit Reductions, and you will get to understand how they view us.

@ForgottenWeapons Two pairs of wool socks didn't do anything for me when I was visiting Ukraine in -20. Waiting for an interstate bus, I couldn't feel my feet after a couple of hours. The wind was cutting like a knife. I bought a bottle of brandy from the kiosk and drunk the whole bottle in one go. That made feel cold in the body as well. It made it worse.
1
@JH-lo9ut Yes, that shocked me so much, I always buy one size up boots even though I live in a semi-tropical climate, now. I remember when I finally reached my destination in Ukraine, I soaked my feet in hot water and was in agony from that too. I have heard stories that people keep fires under their trucks at some places in Sweden, to be able to start their engines. It is amazing that you can work when it gets this cold.

@Kaboomf During the 90s some police had to form anti terror units, and in Bulgaria the police also has quick reaction force to respond to triggered alarm signals. Training and skills are considerably better than before including going through dungeons and stress situations.

@marwis32 50 - 100 is no problem for the Makarov for human size targets. Some people can do it.

@xSintex His general idea is that handguns are useless toys, which is not true. Maybe in the field/forest they are, in the city they are just fine. Shooting a high power rifle in the city can give you nasty ricochet if you are not careful.

@moosemaimer I used to hate it and we are warm country by European standards. I go outside during winter, I get 15 minutes of needles going through my hands, then after that they go numb for the rest of the day. Ian is still lucky he got a nice warm day in Finland. LOL

Yeah he looked like a Finnish Musketeer.

@redcell9636 You are in some parallel universe buddy. Russia entered with a symbolic force of ~ 120K boots on the ground. Ukraine had almost 7 to 1 advantage. What Hollywood "militias" what "law enforcement", what nonsense are you talking about?
1
@paavobergmann4920 Maybe you should stick to Finnish business. You obviously know nothing about the Bulgarian states of Russia and Ukraine. We don't hate each-other. There is a mercenary junta bankrolled by the British, ruling Ukraine. They do not represent the people in Ukraine.

@ashcarrier6606 HA! ...and why wouldn't they mobilise? NATO is a threat and they need to be prepared for anything.
