New Russian Knight (Vityaz) machine gun

The PP-19-01 "Vityaz" is a recent development of the Izhevsk Mechanical Plant (IZHMASH); this weapon evolved from relatively unsuccessful PP-19 "Bizon" submachine gun and was requested by the elite Russian law enforcement team "Vytyaz" (SWAT-type formation).

The PP-19-01 is based on the AKS-74U compact assault rifle, with simple blowback action, although "Vityaz" (Knight in Russian) uses more conventional box magazines and fires more powerful 9x19 ammunition which is now standard in Russia.

As of mid-2007, PP-19-01 is in limited production in Izhevsk and is already in use by some specialized SWAT-type teams of Russian police and other law enforcement agencies.

The PP-19-01 "Vityaz" can also fire Russian issue 7N21 armor piercing ammunition.

The PP-19-01 "Vityaz" is based on AKS-74U compact assault rifle and shares about 70% of parts with the parent weapon. The gun is fired from closed bolt, ultilising standard AK-type trigger and safety / fire selector subsytems.

A special magazine housing is attached below the receiver, which accepts proprietary double-stack magazines, made from polymer. Two magazines can be clipped together using a special steel clip for faster reloading.

The PP-19-01 uses AKS-74U-style side-folding skeletonized butt and a tangent-type adjustable rear sight. Left side of receiver is fitted with Russian-standard side rail that will accept quick-detachable scope mounts with various sighting equipment.

A modifiied version of PP-19-01 (Vityaz-SN) is available with additional Picatinny style acessory rails, left-side charging handle and additional safety lever on the left side of receiver.

Four dirtballs about to lose their Second Amendment rights

One Defendant Claims to be Local Operative for a Mexican Drug Cartel. An investigation into guns being trafficked from Arizona to California has led to the arrest of four individuals, one of whom sold several machine guns to a undercover operative and claimed to be tied to a Mexican drug cartel.

The four defendants were arrested early this morning by special agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and investigators with the Los Angeles Police Department.

During the course of the 10-month investigation, authorities purchased or seized 50 firearms, including 17 guns that were discovered during the execution of search warrants this morning.

During the investigation, an undercover operative made a series of gun purchases from three of the defendants. The purchases included guns similar to AK-47s, Uzis and AR-15s, some of which were fully automatic weapons.

Those arrested today are:

Edgardo Prado Casteneda, aka "Primo," 26, of Azusa, who claimed to be a
Southern California operative of the La Familia drug cartel based in Michoacan,
Mexico

Vicente Garcia Jr., aka "Chevy," 38, of Azusa

Steven Scott Blanks, 47, of Norco; and

Victor Velasquez, aka "Fingers," 34, of El Monte, who is accused of delivering a
quarter-pound of methamphetamine that was purchased by the undercover
operative.

The four defendants are scheduled to make their initial appearances this afternoon in United States District Court in Los Angeles.
