The Stechkin automatic pistol or APS (Avtomaticheskiy Pistolet Stechkina, Russian: Автоматический Пистолет Стечкина) is a Russian selective fire machine pistol. It bears the name of its developer, Igor Stechkin.
|PNC=Ksenia


The Stechkin automatic pistol was originally chambered for 7.62×25mm Tokarev. Designer Stechkin redesigned the pistol to accept the new 9 mm caliber used in the recently adopted Makarov pistol (PM), as it became clear that this cartridge was set to become the new service ammunition for handguns of the Soviet Army. In 1951, both the Makarov and Stechkin were introduced into the Soviet military arsenal, replacing the aging Tokarev pistol (TT-33).<ref name= "wiki"></ref>

The Stechkin automatic pistol or APS (Russian: Автоматический Пистолет Стечкина) is a Soviet selective fire machine pistol designed by Igor Stechkin. It was designed to serve as a replacement for the larger and bulkier submachine guns used during the Second World War, and was one of the last pistols in the world designed to incorporate a combined stock and holster.


| characterinfo =
Entering into the Cold War, the Soviet Union sought to adopt a compact personal defense weapon similar to the M1/M2 carbines used by the US. The idea behind the personal defense weapon concept was for a weapon that would be given to army personal that couldn't/shouldn't carry full size combat rifles such as vehicle crews/officers, in order to free up rifle inventory for frontline troops. Igor Stechkin's automatic pistol design underwent development throughout the 1940s, and was finalized at the beginning of the 1950s.<ref name = "stechkin forgottenweapons">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4J-1y5RKnNo Forgotten Weapons video on the APS]</ref>
=== Design ===


=== Personality ===
Initially, the APS was designed to chamber the 7.62×25mm Tokarev cartridge, which was in standard use with the Soviet Red Army at the time. However, Stechkin later redesigned the pistol to accept the new 9×18mm caliber round used in the recently adopted Makarov pistol, as it became clear that this cartridge was set to become the new service ammunition for handguns/submachine guns of the Soviet military.


=== In-Game ===
The APS is capable of both semi-automatic and fully automatic fire, as it was intended to replace full-auto submachine guns like the PPSh-41 and PPS-43. The fire selector is located above the grip on the left side of the slide. This toggles the gun between semi and fully automatic mode and also functions as the weapon's safety. To assist with controlling the weapon during automatic fire, the APS is designed to be fired with a detachable stock, made of either wood or Polyresin/bakelite. The stock itself also functions as the pistol's holster as well as a place to store repair/cleaning kits. The APS's rate of fire is kept in check by a built-in rate reducer located behind the magazine housing, and the barrel of the APS is fixed to the frame to achieve a higher mechanical accuracy. The pistol is fed by 20 round capacity double stack magazines and is capable of firing at a rate around 600 rounds per minute.<ref name = "stechkin modernfirearms">[https://modernfirearms.net/en/handguns/handguns-en/russia-semi-automatic-pistols/stechkin-aps-selective-fire-eng/ Modern Firearms article on the APS]</ref>
 
In 1951, the Stechkin was introduced into the Soviet military arsenal in short numbers. However, it was quickly phased out of service due to reports that it was awkward and uncomfortable to fire even with its shoulder stock, as well as lack of stopping power. APS pistols were put into storage shortly after being decommissioned, and the role of a small PDW-type weapon was eventually fulfilled by the AKS-74U. Around the same time that the AKS-74U was being rolled out to Soviet troops, a number of APS pistols were retrofitted with extended and threaded barrels, to improve accuracy and allow compatibility with a suppressor. These refitted APS handguns are known as the APSB and they were used by various Spetznats units.<ref name= "Stechkin wiki">[[wikipedia:Stechkin automatic pistol|Wikipedia entry on the Stechkin pistol]]</ref>
 
|design=  
For a doll that represents a handgun, Stechkin is relatively tall when compared to some of the other HG dolls. Using her pistol in hand as a reference (assuming it is drawn to scale), Stechkin is estimated to be around 150cm tall. Her shiny raven hair is long and reaches her knees, and she sports a signature lightning bolt-shapde 'ahoge' (Idiot hair, or Cowlick). This ahoge even became her exclusive MOD3 equipment.
 
Aside from changes in art style due to being drawn by a different artist, post neural upgrade Stechkin received a different hue to her long hair, with it now being more purple in color. In terms of outfit and attire, she now carries more tactical equipment along with her weapon. The pistol itself also appears to have undergone extensive modernization refits. The wooden stock has also been replaced, and is now of a lighter-weight polymer construction. However, the new modern-looking stock does not appear to be hollow, which means it can no longer function as the weapon's holster.

Weapon Background

The Stechkin automatic pistol or APS (Russian: Автоматический Пистолет Стечкина) is a Soviet selective fire machine pistol designed by Igor Stechkin. It was designed to serve as a replacement for the larger and bulkier submachine guns used during the Second World War, and was one of the last pistols in the world designed to incorporate a combined stock and holster.

Entering into the Cold War, the Soviet Union sought to adopt a compact personal defense weapon similar to the M1/M2 carbines used by the US. The idea behind the personal defense weapon concept was for a weapon that would be given to army personal that couldn't/shouldn't carry full size combat rifles such as vehicle crews/officers, in order to free up rifle inventory for frontline troops. Igor Stechkin's automatic pistol design underwent development throughout the 1940s, and was finalized at the beginning of the 1950s.[1]

Initially, the APS was designed to chamber the 7.62×25mm Tokarev cartridge, which was in standard use with the Soviet Red Army at the time. However, Stechkin later redesigned the pistol to accept the new 9×18mm caliber round used in the recently adopted Makarov pistol, as it became clear that this cartridge was set to become the new service ammunition for handguns/submachine guns of the Soviet military.

The APS is capable of both semi-automatic and fully automatic fire, as it was intended to replace full-auto submachine guns like the PPSh-41 and PPS-43. The fire selector is located above the grip on the left side of the slide. This toggles the gun between semi and fully automatic mode and also functions as the weapon's safety. To assist with controlling the weapon during automatic fire, the APS is designed to be fired with a detachable stock, made of either wood or Polyresin/bakelite. The stock itself also functions as the pistol's holster as well as a place to store repair/cleaning kits. The APS's rate of fire is kept in check by a built-in rate reducer located behind the magazine housing, and the barrel of the APS is fixed to the frame to achieve a higher mechanical accuracy. The pistol is fed by 20 round capacity double stack magazines and is capable of firing at a rate around 600 rounds per minute.[2]

In 1951, the Stechkin was introduced into the Soviet military arsenal in short numbers. However, it was quickly phased out of service due to reports that it was awkward and uncomfortable to fire even with its shoulder stock, as well as lack of stopping power. APS pistols were put into storage shortly after being decommissioned, and the role of a small PDW-type weapon was eventually fulfilled by the AKS-74U. Around the same time that the AKS-74U was being rolled out to Soviet troops, a number of APS pistols were retrofitted with extended and threaded barrels, to improve accuracy and allow compatibility with a suppressor. These refitted APS handguns are known as the APSB and they were used by various Spetznats units.[3]

Character Design

For a doll that represents a handgun, Stechkin is relatively tall when compared to some of the other HG dolls. Using her pistol in hand as a reference (assuming it is drawn to scale), Stechkin is estimated to be around 150cm tall. Her shiny raven hair is long and reaches her knees, and she sports a signature lightning bolt-shapde 'ahoge' (Idiot hair, or Cowlick). This ahoge even became her exclusive MOD3 equipment.

Aside from changes in art style due to being drawn by a different artist, post neural upgrade Stechkin received a different hue to her long hair, with it now being more purple in color. In terms of outfit and attire, she now carries more tactical equipment along with her weapon. The pistol itself also appears to have undergone extensive modernization refits. The wooden stock has also been replaced, and is now of a lighter-weight polymer construction. However, the new modern-looking stock does not appear to be hollow, which means it can no longer function as the weapon's holster.

Trivia

  • Stechkin is known for her love for money. She would do anything to rake in money, be it through rightful or unjustful method.
  • Stechkin resembles a Universal Anything Services Waitress 3.0 model. A similar Doll named Ksenia participated in the Project Neural Cloud experiment in 2058, but since she isn't listed in the Griffin transfer file it is unconfirmed whether they are the same Doll. Ksenia's waitress outfit is however quite similar to Stechkin's Neural Upgrade costume.
  • She is the first T-Doll to be obtainable in 3 different games made by MICA. A 4-star HG in Girls' Frontline, A 2-star Specialist in Neural Cloud, and a 2-Star Support in Girls' Frontline 2: Exilium.
