Pneumatic pistol MR-661k "Drozd" bunker: an overview, specifications and reviews

Domestic pneumatic pistol MP-661k "Drozd" was initially doomed to success, thanks to its design features and reliability. More than 80 percent of the Russian arms market is filled with products of the Izhevsk plant, which proves the demand for pneumatics, including pistols, rifles and automatic weapons. In terms of its parameters, it makes direct competition to the best European and other foreign producers. In the series under review, there are several modifications, features whose characteristics will be considered further, and also study the owners' feedback.

General Information

The Drozdov family is one of the most famous and successful versions in the world of automatic pneumatic weapons. Most foreign competitors have tried to create something similar, but in many ways the Izhevsk variant outperforms them. The machine under consideration passed the test of time, showed itself perfectly and earned respect from the fans of airsoft.

In addition to the "Drozd" itself, the package includes a passport, packing of pills, a repair kit and a device for charging the store (loader).

By shifting the safety lever on the left side of the housing, the red indicator is activated, which indicates the transfer of the pistol to the combat position. If desired (to conduct night shooting), the light bulb can be disguised.
