The 9×18mm Makarov (designated 9mm Makarov by the C.I.P. and often called 9×18mm PM) is a pistol and submachine gun cartridge developed in the former USSR.

[1] It might have been influenced by the success of the Soviet 9×18mm Makarov, although most observed the opposite (the Ultra cartridge is usually agreed to have been the design basis for the Makarov, with similar case length and a slightly wider and shorter projectile).
Known ballistics of R.A.S. ammunition products are below. Some figures are calculated from inputs of other figures such as the energy measured in foot-pounds (ft-lbf). [11] OAL stands for Overall Length. Data for a Red Army Standard 9×18mm Makarov cartridge, labeled as 94 grain FMJ:
The Bizon's operating cycle is characterized by a very short recoil stroke; standard 9×18mm ammunition will only drive the bolt partially to the rear of the receiver and results in a cyclic rate of 680 rounds per minute. [1] High-impulse ammunition drives the bolt all the way to the end of the receiver, lightly striking the receiver wall.

For added convenience, both the frame-mounted thumb safety and the magazine release are ambidextrous. The vz. 82 was the first service pistol to feature both these features. The bore is chrome plated, which gives it three advantages: longer barrel life, resistance to rust from the use of corrosive ammunition, and ease of cleaning.
