The OTs-23 Drotik (ОЦ-23 Дротик, Russian for "dart") is a blow-back operated machine pistol developed and used in Russia. The weapon has a three-position select fire switch; safe, semi-automatic, and three-round burst. The pistol features an external indicator that allows the operator to quickly see how many cartridges remain in the magazine.[1]

It is designed as a special operations and personal defence weapon. It has compensator openings cut into the end of the barrel to vent gases and make the weapon more stable during automatic burst fire.
