This is the Soyuz pistol, part of the survival equipment. We are supposed to use it to catch food and to signal our location if we land in some obscure part of the world. It has three barrels, two for shotgun shells and one for rifle bullets. The Soyuz machete can be used as the shoulder rest. I didn't win any awards for accuracy during the sea survival training, althouth somehow I ended up being most accurate in the winter survival round. The Russian newspapers somehow decided that this was because I like 'hunting lions'. Hardly. |
