The Makarov pistol was a Tau'ri weapon developed by the Russian military after World War II. Countries, like Russia, had liked the design of the Walther PP, and so developed their own versions of it. The Makarov 9mm was one of these. The Russians rechambered the weapon to fire their own ammunition to prevent captured weapons from being used against them.[1] (RPG: "Roleplaying Game")
