While the Advanced Version leads the pack, the Standard Version of WELL PRO's PPK-20 Compact has more than its fair share of internal goodness. A 6.02mm tightbore inner barrel provides additional accuracy to compensate for the short overall length, the 18:1 ratio steel gears run on 8mm slide bearings for a smoother gearbox sound and the system is powered by a mighty 20K RPM high-speed motor kept in check by a protective in-line MOSFET.

Boasting a mix of M-LOK negative space attachment slots, 20mm Picatinny rails, ambidextrous fire controls and an advanced side folding retractable stock, you would be forgiven for thinking this platform had Western origins as it is very rare indeed for a Russian platform to give some thought to ergonomics. Consider this the Ruskie UTR45; at the cutting edge of external design with internals and performance that will surprise you (and the enemy team)!
