The Stechkin APS machine pistol, while historically significant, proves difficult to control in full-auto fire due to significant muzzle climb, making it less effective than contemporaries like the M2 Carbine for personal defense. It is far more practical and accurate in semi-auto mode. Despite its unique features like a detachable stock and rate reducer, its controllability issues led to its limited adoption and phase-out by the Soviet Union.
Ian McCollum demonstrates the exhilarating experience of dual-wielding Stechkin APS machine pistols. The video highlights the rapid full-auto fire capabilities of these pistols, emphasizing the fun and coolness factor of such a setup. Technical specifications for the APS are provided, including its caliber, capacity, and weight.
The APS CAM870 CO2 shotgun offers extreme realism in build and operation, mimicking a Remington 870 with its full metal construction and real wood furniture. It utilizes proprietary shells that are charged with CO2 and BBs separately, ejecting spent shells after each shot. While an excellent, albeit expensive, training tool for its realistic feel and function, its high cost and shell expense limit its appeal to a niche market, though it performs adequately for CQB distances.
