It was the perfect weapon for the Soviet frogmen's underwater operations, but it was less useful for Spetsnaz soldiers fighting both on land and underwater. The APS can operate on land, but its effective range does not exceed 50 metres, and the rifle's lifetime drops to 180 shots in air from 2,000 shots underwater.
After sending aircraft to get a closer look at the object, the Pentagon recommended to US president Joe Biden that it be shot down. The White House agreed “out of an abundance of caution”.

A double-action firing mechanism fires one cartridge sequentially for each pull of the trigger. When all four cartridges are spent, the gun can be reloaded above or below water. [2] The SPP-1M pistol is essentially the same as the SPP-1, with the following differences: [6] It has an extra spring above the sear to improve the trigger pull.
