'''9x18mm Makarov''' (also known as '''9x18mm PM''', '''9mm Makarov''', informally '''9x18 Mak''') is a pistol cartridge developed in 1946 by Soviet engineer B.V. Semin, and adopted in 1951 as the Soviet service handgun cartridge. It is designed to fulfill three main purposes ; being the most powerful cartridge that can be safely fired in a simple, direct blowback pistols, being a more powerful and more reliable alternative to [[7.62x25mm Tokarev]] which it replaces (alongside the development of a sturdier handgun than the '''TT-33'''), and lastly, being a Soviet alternative to [[9x19mm Parabellum]], which became the Western service handgun cartridge, and to deny any eventual Western-aligned forces the ability to use captured Soviet ammunition, should it occur.

The '''9x18mm Makarov''' (also known as '''9x18mm PM''', nicknamed '''9mm Mak''') is a handgun cartridge developed in 1951 by the Soviet Union. It is a somewhat rare cartridge used in handguns and submachine guns. It is considered a very low-tier caliber due to its low power and velocity.

=== Real-life data ===
+
-
The caliber's history starts in the early stages of the Cold War. The Soviet Union used, for the Second World War and the first years of the Cold War, the [[7.62x25mm Tokarev]] caliber as their main handgun cartridge, mainly for use in their famed pistol, the [[tula arms tokarev tt 33|TT-33]]. Soviet armed forces noticed shortcomings with their 7.62mm pistol, most notably the fact that it had a bad tendency of inadvertently dropping its magazine while operating it.
+
-
 
+
-
Because of this, the Soviet armed forces wanted a weapon that was lighter, equipped with a heel release instead of a push button, and used a different caliber. This resulted in the '''9x18mm Makarov''', designed in 1951 and adapted for use to the newly designed [[izhmekh makarov pm|Makarov PM]] pistol, developed roughly at the same time. Both the weapon and the ammunition were cheap and easy to manufacture - the pistol itself is a cheap and easy to manufacture blowback pistol, while 9x18mm Makarov ammo uses clad metal cases and simple, full-metal jacketed lead bullets, some of which are loaded with hardened steel cores for light armor-piercing purposes.
+
-
Because the Soviet government requested that the new caliber was incompatible with NATO firearms, the '''9x18mm Makarov''' is different than its NATO counterpart, the famous [[9x19mm Parabellum]].
+
The first 9mm Makarov firearm to be designed is perhaps also the most famous and widespread: the '''Makarov PM''', which has seen extensive use and service both in the Soviet Union and its satellite states, first as a service handgun in the military, then later in the various Soviet states and satellite countries' law enforcement agencies, where it is still used, and in some cases, even preferred to more modern alternatives.
-
Ballistically inferior to its German-born counterpart, the performance of '''9x18mm''' is closer to calibers such as the '''.380 ACP''' - it is a variant of the German-made '''9mm Ultra''', as a more powerful alternative to the '''9x17mm/.380 ACP''' caliber originally used by [[Walther PPK|Walther PP]] pistols. It was designed to be the most powerful caliber available to function in this kind of pistol safely.
+
9mm Makarov received a favorable reputation for being easily controllable and low-recoiling in all of the platforms it was introduced for - pistols and submachine guns for the most part, automatic pistols (such as the '''Stechkin APS''') and even a revolver (the '''R-92'''). Despite its age and the gradual introduction of [[9x19mm Parabellum|9x19mm]] firearms in the Russian inventory (such as the '''MP-443 Grach''', which was intended to replace the Makarov PM) after the fall of the Soviet Union, the 9x18mm cartridge and its firearms are still officially issued in the Russian military.

In practice however, this also applies for the contestant's [[Encounters|enemies]]. Some of them may be equipped with a 9x18mm weapon, in which case they may be less of a threat. With higher-grade armor, starting at [[type 4 kevlar vest|Kevlar-4]], the 9x18mm bullets become a nigh-insignificant threat even with sustained fire.

This caliber has, however, the advantage of being cheap and, when found, available usually in reasonably high quantity every time. As such, 9x18mm Makarov rounds are quantity over quality - shooting long bursts makes up for the individually low power of every round. Compatible with ten weapons, 9x18mm Makarov is moderately easy to obtain, and shines best when used to "spam" shots at enemies.
