'Pistol Silent', English: Silent Pistol; GRAU index 6P9) is a Soviet integrally suppressed semi-automatic pistol developed and manufactured by the Izhevsk Mechanical Plant, based on the Makarov pistol; since the merger of the Izhevsk Mechanical Plant and the Izhevsk Machine-Building Plant to form the ...
The formula of the material used usually approaches Pb 1.1 (Zr 0.3 Ti 0.7)O 3 (called lead zirconate titanate 30/70). Its properties may be modified by doping it with lanthanum , resulting in lanthanum-doped lead zirconium titanate ( lead zirconate titanate , also called lead lanthanum zirconium titanate ), with formula Pb 0.83 La 0.17 (Zr 0.3 ...
