Gun Gamers have put up a video to give you a better understanding of the Makarov pistol by going over an airsoft Makarov made by WE Airsoft, and a real one made in Bulgaria... "In this video, Garrett and Paul go over the history, function, and aesthetics of two Makarov pistols. The WE Makarov vs. the Bulgarian Makarov."
