MP-443 Grach in-game illustration.
Yarygin PYa, MR-443 Grach (Russian: Пистолет Ярыгина, ПЯ, МР-443 "Грач") is the latest Russian standard military-issue side arm. It was developed in response to Russian military trials, which began in 1993. In 2003, it was adopted as a standard sidearm for all branches of Russian military and law enforcement, alongside GSh-18 and SPS. It is a semi-automatic pistol chambered in the Russian version of 9 mm Luger Parabellum or 9mm NATO, 7N21, which generates significantly more pressure than standard NATO 9mm ammunition, thus providing significantly higher kinetic power to the bullets (600 J relative to 450 J for the standard Luger). The weapon can also use standard 9mm NATO or 9mm Parabellum cartridges. The 7N21 features an armor-piercing bullet with a tempered steel core. The pistol is named after its designer, Vladimir Yarygin, who had earlier specialized in designing sport pistols. The Yarygin PYa employs a simplified version of the century-old Browning short recoil system. As of 2008, it is supplied in small numbers to selected units, presumably those in the North Caucasus.
