I am looking for anyone in Poland that is familiar with small arms used by the Polish military forces within the last few decades. Specifically I am attempting to find out the proper nomenclature for certain Flare pistols, and training pellet pistols.

Is it a business proposal?

No business proposal. I have a few Polish flare pistols and a training airgun I would like identified. I have no idea which organizations used them, or what their model is. To be exact. There have been some recent imports into my country:

1. Predom-Lucznik Wz. 1970 4.5mm air pistol. It is suggested that these were used as military trainers. I'm just looking for information on who used said equipment.

2. I have two models of flare pistol used by the Polish. One I believe may be based off of a Russian design, though the model eludes me (perhaps Model of 1944), and the other is though to be a MOdel 78, based on H&K's design for the GErman military.

Sub-machine guns considered small arms?

Because I know the MP-5 is a favorite among Polish special forces like GROM.

They use the newest model of Ak-47 and ak-74, it's pretty high tech and comes with the bayonet and everything. As for handguns i think they use berettas. They also use the kbk wz. 96 beryl. I belive they use older models of the 1911 type pistol.

I thought the military used the Walther P99 ,same as the police? Is it the AK101 you mean?

Pistolet sygnałowy wzór 1944

It's the name of Soviet SPSz-44 ( other name SPSz-2) produced in Poland.

and the other is though to be a MOdel 78, based on H&K's design for the GErman military.

Pistolet sygnałowy wz. 78

It's Polish.
