The PP-19 Bizon (bison) is a submachine gun developed by IZMASH OJSC. It is based on the AK-74 and AK100 series of assault rifles.

Characteristics

The Bizon uses a helical magazine, similar to the type used in the American Calico 960 submachine gun. The 64-round magazine mounts under the foregrip positioned in line with the barrel. This layout makes the weapon more compact and concealable. Magazines on some earlier models incorporate an ammunition counter to show how many rounds remain.

The Bizon is primarily intended for counter-terrorist and law enforcement units that usually need fast and accurate fire at closer ranges.

The Bizon was developed by Viktor Kalashnikov, the son of legendary AK-47 designer Mikhail Kalashnikov.

Ammunition

The Bizon can be found chambered in 9x18mm Makarov, 9x17mm Browning Short (.380 ACP), 9x19mm Parabellum and 7.62x25mm Tokarev.
