Cutting down bolt action rifles to the size of a pistol is an art as ancient as bolt action rifles themselves. Optimised for use by partisan forces and criminals, Obrez pistols are rough, have unbelievable recoil, and cannot hit anything beyond 50 metres, but they are very compact for their calibre. Most of these pistols are made from Mosin-Nagant M1891 rifles, due to their ubiquity.
