MP443

Yarygin PYa, MR-443 Grach (Russian: Пистолет Ярыгина, ПЯ, МР-443 "Грач") is the latest Russian standard military-issue side arm. It was developed in response to Russian military trials, which began in 1993. In 2003, it was adopted as a standard sidearm for all branches of Russian military and law enforcement, alongside GSh-18 and SPS. It is a semi-automatic pistol chambered in the Russian version of 9 mm Luger Parabellum or 9mm NATO, 7N21, which generates significantly more pressure than standard NATO 9mm ammunition, thus providing significantly higher kinetic power to the bullets (600 Joules relative to 450 Joules for the standard 9mm). The weapon can also use standard 9mm NATO or 9mm Parabellum cartridges. The 7N21 features an armor-piercing bullet with a tempered steel core. The pistol is named after its designer, Vladimir Yarygin, who had earlier specialized in designing sport pistols. The Yarygin PYa employs a simplified version of the century-old Browning short recoil system. As of 2008, it is supplied in small numbers to selected units, presumably those in the North Caucasus.

Battlefield: Bad Company
In singleplayer, the MP-443 can always be found on dead Russians using the SV-98 as well as some collectibles, notably the SVU and the VSS.

In multiplayer, the MP-443 is the standard issue pistol of the Russian Army only usable by the Recon Class. It has a 12 round magazine and can kill in 6 body shots.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2
The MP-443 appears in singleplayer in the hands of the player, a few NPCs, and enemies at close range when they empty their weapon. The player automatically acquires in the level Upriver, when the player must kill a single soldier who is holding Aguire hostage; It is also the starting weapon on No One Gets Left Behind. After the first time it is acquired, it can be accessed anytime at supply crates.

In multiplayer, the MP-443 is unlocked once the player reaches Rank 3. It has a 17 round capacity and can kill in about 5 body shots. It has the second highest fire rate of all pistols. It is superior to the M9 in the fact that it has a 17 round magazine over the M9 and that it has a quicker fire rate while still deilvering the same amount of damage, contrary to the in-game damage stats. Because of this, the MP-443 is widely considered one of the best spraying pistols in the game, and experienced players often use it to great effect.
