Vyacheslav Ivanovich Silin (1907—1975) - designer-gunsmith. Born in Tula career began in 1919 at the Tula Arms Plant. Headed in TsKIB Shooting and Hunting Arms (Tula) to develop antitank grenade launchers, was directly involved in the creation of the main weapons for the BMP-1 and BMD - 2A28 gun. In 1935, when his involvement was developed quite a unique 7.62 mm rapid-fire aircraft machine gun Sibemas (VI Silin, M. E. Berezin, P. Morozenko) with a rate of fire of 6,000 rounds. / min. with his participation has been developed quite a unique 7.62 mm rapid-fire aircraft machine gun Sibemas (VI Silin, ME Berezin, P. Morozenko) with a rate of fire of 6,000 rds / min. with a revolving scheme automation. Work on the design of such weapons was halted in the late 40s, due to the shortcomings of this scheme. In 1939 Silin participated in a competition to create a 7.62-mm machine gun. He developed a machine gun TCB-67, successfully passed field testing. VI Silin participated in the working out of air cannons VYa-23 and B-20. In the late 40s - early 50s VI Silin tank guns were developed TKB-440 under the 7.62-mm rifle cartridge and TKB-458M under 7,62 mm cartridge arr. 1943 In the 1950s.

It has two pistons that sit on the common stock, the control mechanisms work machine guns, and provided the alternate action of powder gases, alternating with shots discharged from the trunks, indicating rod motion and back and forth.
