Pistol Md. 1998

Pistolul model 1998, also known as Dracula, is a machine pistol designed and manufactured by Uzina Mecanică Sadu of Romania.[1] It was designed in 1998 and since 2003 this weapon has been used by Brigada Antitero București (Bucharest Anti-terrorist Brigade) of the Romanian Intelligence Service.[2]

Design

The pistol construction and operation is based on the Stechkin APS automatic pistol. However instead of a shoulder stock, Pistolul Md. 1998 has a rail under the muzzle which allows a spare magazine to be attached as a forward grip.

The barrel is rifled, with four polygonal grooves.[3] The pistol can be fitted with a sound suppressor and the manufacturer supplies subsonic 9mm Parabellum cartridges for use with the suppressor.[4]

Pistolul Model 1998 is equipped with a mechanical rear sight, with an adjustable drum for distances of 25, 50, 100 and 200 meters. Optionally, the pistol can be fitted with a target marker (laser micro collimator) or a high powered lamp (intense light spot collimator).
