AK Makarov Pistol

The AK Makarov Pistol is a semi-automatic pistol originally used by the Union of Soviet Systems. The versatility and overall balanced features of the handgun help spread to other factions, and is now one of the most widespread and common weapons in the known universe.
==Origins==
During the assault on Suvorov by the Union of Soviet Systems in 38 AF, the communist infantry met heavier resistance by local forces. The idea of a stronger sidearm for troops and partisans was established, and designs for a perfect, balanced handgun were in the works. The pistol was finished in time to combat the Northstar Alliance.
During the twelve year war against the Alliance, the AK Makarov became a standard weapon for all soldiers to carry alongside their main weapons. The balanced handgun was a useful tool, until the invention of H.M.V.'s. With the dawn of mechanized infantry, the way war was fought changed. The massive production of AK Makarov's seemed useless against large mechanical soldiers, and was soon being sold off to help pay debts.
Despite the Union of Soviet Systems loss in the Great Northern War, the AK Makarov was still revered as such a versatile weapon that both militaries and insurgents wanted the weapon. The Northern Federation would go on to secure the rights of the handgun, and meet supplies and demands. Despite almost half a century, the pistol has required few updates or modifications. Instead, the iconic pistol was made easier to accessorize with custom pieces.
