Home > SPP-1 Underwater Pistol


The 4.5 mm SPP-1 Underwater Pistol is made in Russia for use underwater by frogmen. It was developed in the late 1960's. Underwater, ordinary-shaped bullets are inaccurate and very short-range. As a result, this pistol fires a steel bolt about 4 inches long. It has four barrels, each containing one cartridge. Its ammunition comes as a clip of four cartridges which is inserted into the pistol's breech. It is longer range and has more penetrating power than spearguns. Its barrel is not rifled; the fired projectile is kept in line by hydrodynamic effects. As a result, it is somewhat inaccurate when fired out of water.
