The TP-82 pistol ((ロシア語:ТП-82)) was a triple-barreled Soviet firearm that was carried by cosmonauts on space missions. It was intended as a survival aid to be used after landings and before recovery in the Siberian wilderness. The upper two smoothbore barrels used 12.5×70 mm ammunition (40 gauge), and the lower rifled barrel used 5.45×39mm ammunition. The pistol could be used for hunting, to defend against predators and for visible and audible distress signals. The detachable buttstock was also a machete that came with a canvas sheath. TP-82s were carried regularly on Soviet and Russian space missions from 1986 to 2006. They were part of the Soyuz Portable Emergency-Survival Kit (Носимый аварийный запас, ''Nosimyi Avariynyi Zapas'', NAZ). In 2007, the media reported that the remaining ammunition for the TP-82 had become unusable and that a regular semi-automatic pistol would be used on future missions. ==See also== * Soviet laser pistol * Combination gun * M6 Aircrew Survival Weapon * M30 Luftwaffe drilling * List of multiple barrel firearms * List of Russian weaponry 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「TP-82」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
