In the past, the Spetsnaz noticed that the range of silenced semi-automatic pistols is very limited, forcing them to switch to special, silenced variants of [[Kalashnikov AK-47|AK and AKM]] rifles, which used a special, subsonic variant of [[7.62x39mm]]; it was named '''7.62x39mm US''', corresponding to ''Umenshennaya Skorost'', which translates to '''"Low velocity"'''.

| - | As such the 9x39mm was requested and developed. It is a naturally subsonic caliber, which achieves low velocity while retaining sufficient power for various needs. Several variants were produced, of which the '''SP-5''' and '''SP-6''' are the most well-known. The cartridges were based on '''7.62x39mm''' cases, but adapted to a 9mm bullet. The '''SP-5''' bullet was a standard, lead bullet for sniper purposes at an effective range of 300 to 400 meters. The '''SP-6''' bullet is a hardened steel core bullet, armor-piercing capable at the same ranges, but is more expensive.
