The first man-made pistols had only one single charge. The first revolvers were content with 5 rounds. In the first self-loading pistols, the active ammunition load took off to 7-12 (and sometimes more) rounds per magazine. Today, weapon designers are ready to offer short-barreled weapons, the capacity of a regular magazine which exceeds the capacity of an assault rifle magazine.
Who needs a 33-round pistol? It will be quite difficult to answer this question. However, it is quite obvious that there is still a demand for “exotic” firearms on the market. There is it both on the part of private shooters-enthusiasts, and on the part of the soldiers of various special power structures. Fortunately, modern designers can satisfy even the most daring weapon fantasies.
The clearest evidence of this is the new Kel-Tec pistol under the CP33 index, which directly indicates the number of cartridges in the standard magazine of this short-barreled weapon. The abbreviation CP stands for just "Competition Pistol". In other words, a .22lr pistol (5.56x15.6 mm) was created primarily for sports shooting. However, all this does not make it less interesting.
Without cartridges, the novelty weighs 669 grams. The total length of the pistol is 269 mm, and the barrel length is 139.6 mm. The novelty is focused primarily on the American buyer. It is also important to note that the Kel-Tec CP33 store has a rather specific device. Equipping it with .22lr rounds is not an easy task. A lot of skill is required here, since an incorrectly equipped 33-cartridge magazine often causes misfires and jams.
