==Products== {{Expand section|date=October 2017}} === Izhevsk Arsenal === Although the arsenal was under construction in 1807, production of weapons immediately started: mainly [[long gun]]s, [[pistol]]s, and [[backsword]]s. One notable long gun the arsenal made was the No. 15 17.7mm muskets, of which 6,000 of them were supplied to the [[Imperial Russian Army]]. The arsenal later manufactured rifles, [[musket]]s, [[carbine]]s, and flint [[blunderbuss]]es for [[cavalry]] in 1809. The venture also produced pistols and gun parts and remelted trophy weapons. Firearms were produced at a rapid pace for the Russian Army during the [[Napoleonic Wars]], mainly in the [[French invasion of Russia]], even though construction of the armory had not been finished yet. During the first four years, the factory produced 2,000 long guns. In 1814, the output grew up to 10,000 guns and almost 2,500 backswords. By 1830, the armory achieved the desired annual output of 25,000 long guns and 5,000 backswords.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":0" /><ref name=":4" /> Starting in the 1830s, the armory started manufacturing "Gartung" short rifles, "Phalis" [[Breech-loading weapon|breech-loading]] rifles, and boarding guns for the [[Baltic Fleet]] of the [[Imperial Russian Navy]]. In 1835, the armory transferred cold steel production of [[sword]]s and [[lances]] to [[Zlatoust]], focusing mainly on [[firearm]] production. In 1844, the armory started upgrading current guns into more rapid firing [[Percussion cap|percussion]] muskets. The armory also started using the [[caplock mechanism]] for its products in 1845. During the [[Crimean War]], Izhevsk supplied the [[Russian Imperial Army]] with 130,000 rifles, with a third of them grooved. By 1857, 50 years after the creation of the armory, over 670,000 [[flintlock]] firearms, over 220,000 percussion firearms, over 58 thousand [[rifle]]s, as well as a plentiful number of swords and lances were produced. When the methods of high-quality [[Steelmaking|steel production]] were well mastered, Izhevsk became the source of gun barrels and barrel receivers for Russian plants. For example, armory enterprises in Tula used annually up to 360,000 barrels from the armory at [[Izhevsk]].<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":4" />{{Citation needed|date=October 2017}} In 1867, the armory was reorganized into a lease and a private commercial enterprise. At this time, the armory were renovated and it was equipped with steam-engines, new machines, and an open-hearth furnace. This allowed the armory to produce more breech-loading weapons for the Russian Imperial Army, notably the "Krnk" and "[[Berdan rifle|Berdan]]" type rifles. The Berdan rifle, designed by American firearm expert and inventor [[Hiram Berdan]], became the standard-issue rifle of the Imperial Russian Army in 1870. The Berdan rifle was the most produced firearm of the plant at the time as well, allowing Russia to approach the European industrial empires' level of armaments.<ref name=":0" /> {| class="wikitable" | colspan="2" | ==== Bolt-action rifles ==== |- |Name |[[Berdan rifle]] |- |Image |[[File:RussianFirearmsXIX 197-199 BerdanNo2.jpg|center|frameless|170x170px]] |- |Year |1870–1891 |} === Izhevsk Gun and Steel Factories === In 1884, the plant was returned to the state and became Izhevsk Gun and Steel Factories (IGSF). In 1885, IGSF started manufacturing [[hunting weapons]] and tools. In 1891, IGSF started [[Mass production|mass-producing]] the [[Mosin–Nagant]] [[Bolt action|bolt-action]] military rifle in a development of nine years, based on the design of the [[Gewehr 98|1898 Mauser]] rifle (Gewehr 98) with new unique features such as a [[push feed]] recessed bolt head. In addition to being one of the most produced rifles in mass-produced military bolt-action rifles in history, the Nagant is also used in every war from the time it was developed to the modern day. The rifle was produced from both the [[Russian Empire|Imperial period]] and the [[Soviet Union|Soviet era]], with military production concluded in 1965, but production for civilian use is continued to the modern day. In addition to the Mosin–Nagant rifle, Belgian industrialist [[Fabrique d'armes Émile et Léon Nagant|Léon Nagant]], who was a co-inventor of, developed the [[Nagant M1895]] [[revolver]]. The revolver has a unique "gas-seal" system that provides a boost to muzzle velocity as well as make the weapon [[Silencer (firearms)|suppressed]]. The sidearm, like the Nagant rifle, was produced in the Soviet era as well, and was mass-produced and used widespread.<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://7.62x54r.net/MosinID/Mosinprimer.htm |title=A Brief Overview of the Mosin-Nagant Rifle |website=7.62x54r.net |access-date=23 April 2018 |archive-date=14 February 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200214212028/http://7.62x54r.net/MosinID/Mosinprimer.htm |url-status=dead }}</ref> {| class="wikitable" |- | colspan="3" | ==== Battle rifles ==== |- |Name |[[AVS-36]] |[[SVT-40]] |- |Image |[[File:AVS 36.JPG|frameless|170x170px]] |[[File:1940 Tula SVT40 (transparent).png|frameless|170x170px]] |- |Year |1936–1940 |1940–1945 |- | colspan="3" | ==== Bolt-action rifles ==== |- |Name |[[Mosin–Nagant]] | rowspan="3" | – |- |Image |[[File:Mosin-Nagant M1891.png|frameless|170x170px]] |- |Year |1891–1965 |- | colspan="3" | ==== Handguns ==== |- |Name |[[Nagant M1895]] |[[TT pistol]] |- |Image |[[File:Nagant_Revolver.jpg|frameless|170x170px]] |[[File:TT_33_Pistol.jpg|frameless|170x170px]] |- |Year |1895–1945 |1930–1952 |} === Izhevsk Machine-Building Plant === {| class="wikitable" | colspan="5" | ==== Aircraft guns ==== |- |Name |[[Shpitalny Sh-37]] |[[Nudelman-Suranov NS-37]] | rowspan="3" | – | rowspan="3" | – |- |Image |<nowiki>-</nowiki> |[[File:Il2_2_ns37_machine_cannon_moscow_march_1943.jpg|frameless|170x170px]] |- |Year |1941–1942 |1942–1945 |- | colspan="5" | ==== Anti-tank rifles ==== |- |Name |[[PTRD]] |[[PTRS-41]] | rowspan="3" | – | rowspan="3" | – |- |Image |[[File:Ptrs_ptrd_u_muzeju_ot_rata_u_Lenjingradu.JPG|frameless|170x170px]] |[[File:PTRS_41.jpg|frameless|170x170px]] |- |Year |1941–1945 |1941–1945 |- | colspan="5" | ==== Automatic rifles ==== |- |Name |[[AK-47]] |[[AKM]] |[[AK-74]] | rowspan="3" | – |- |Image |[[File:АК-47.jpg|frameless|170x170px]] |[[File:AKM automatkarbin Ryssland -
