Makarov's immediate reaction to the Japanese attack on the Russian Port Arthur squadron on the night of 26-27 January/8-9 February 1904 was that the fleet in the Far East needed to be reinforced.

The Makarov is a double-action, blow-back semi-auto pistol, designed in the 1950s by Russian Nikolai Federovich Makarov for the Soviet military.
With the proper diameter of bullet, the Makarov can be a very accurate pistol, partly due to the fact that the barrel is pinned to the frame and does not move separately during firing, there being no need to tilt the barrel to unlock the slide in the blow-back action.
The Makarov maintains the head diameter of the 9mm Parabellum with a straight case, and uses a slightly larger bullet to fill the larger neck.

The CZ83 and Makarov were used for velocity information as both have almost the same length barrels.
In the.380/9mm Makarov, multiplying the penetration in wet pack by about 2.3 seems to give ballpark gelatin penetration figures for similar velocities, but lower velocities as out of shorter guns will not be the same.

The Russian-made Baikal IJ-70 pistol is often referred to simply as the "Makarov." I call it "The gun that lost the East," since it was the service sidearm of the Soviet Union throughout the Cold War.
