caption_attribution_description: English: Soviet experimental submachine gun, designed by F. Tokarev in 1927
context_page_description: The Tokarev Model 1927 submachine gun was an experimental firearm developed in the Soviet Union under the leadership of Fedor Vasilievich Tokarev as part of the Soviet Unions drive to be self sufficient in armaments. It was a blowback-operated, two trigger weapon which fired a 7.62 mm round originally intended as a pistol round.
  Before it could go into production other manufacturers produced their own submachine guns. In competitive trials a weapon designed by Degtyarev proved superior and further development of the Tokarev was halted.
