TP 82 Cosmonaut survival pistol Puns

This history lesson about the TP-82 and the image associated with it are paraphrased from the Wikipedia Page for this gun.

This gun was the result of cosmonaut Alexei Leonov's fears that they may land in the Siberian Wilderness due to cosmonauts doing land landing instead of the Water landings of the American Astronauts. This gun combines a Double Barreled Breach Action 12.5x70 mm (40 Gauge) Shotgun and a Rifle using 5.45x39 mm ammunition that was originally created for the AK-74. The Fears of the Cosmonaut were that the Makarov 9mm Pistol that was already in the kit wouldn't be effective against wolves and bears. It's stock could also come off and be unsheathed from it's canvas case to reveal a machete. It had 2 hammers and 1 Trigger. The Two Hammers are used to fire the two shotgun barrels, however the Left Hammer could be switched to fire the Rifle Barrel.

The Gun in Question

It would be interesting to add and to see how Anton Hand adds this strange firearm into the game. It's a cross between the AK-74, a 40 Gauge Break Action Shotgun, a Pistol, and its stock can become a machete after taking of the canvas sheath.

Would you want to see this made into an H3VR Firearm?

Well from looking up "tp-82 h3vr" on Google, it seems as if a lot of people want this gun. But I am just telling how this works so if Anton ever sees this, he could have an idea for how it worked.

This break-action triple barrel pistol was in service from 1986-2007 and was created as a result of cosmonaut Alexei Leonov was stranded in the Siberian wilderness and feared his 9mm pistol would be ineffective against the Siberian wildlife.

It features two 12.5x70mm shotgun barrels on top and a 5.45x39mm lower barrel and has a detachable stock. Technically the detachable stock is also a machete, so extra bonus points if we get to rip that off and use it too.

It's too awesome of a creation to not have in this amazing game :)

This game is a whole bucket of dumb fun but I also love how it has cataloged one of a kind and lost weapons like the viper mk1. One little known, historical weapon I’d love to see as a fan of space travel is the TP-82 Cosmonauts Survival Weapon. It’s what it says on the tin, a gun sent to space with cosmonauts that is used for survival when they land. Unlike America, the Russians land on hard ground and sometimes deep in the Russian wilderness, so this gun is to fend off any of those famous grizzly bears they are known for. It’s got everything, a detachable stock, a machete it came with, 3 barrels. The top 2 act as a shotgun in 12.5x70mm shells and the bottom a rifle at 5.45x39mm originally made for the AK-47. And this wasn’t just a test weapon, it was used from 1986-2007 (at least according to Wikipedia. I think it would be loads of fun :)
