me too...I have no clue what this means but it was still a nice puzzle to solve
replyI have no idea what the three apostrophe symbols at the top mean, but the table and "ET" combine into the Russian word for table "stol" plus "-et" -> "-stol-et". The Russian word for pepper also starts with the "P" sound, and the part that says "2:И" may mean that the second letter makes the Russian "i" sound. So the answer might be "pistolet", which is the Russian word for "pistol" (as Katerina mentioned in her comment).
replyI have never been very good rebus puzzles even in my own language much less one that is so different. It's nice to have the help. Thanks. It makes it more interesting.
replyI didn't really like it much. Too much white space and of course for us non-Russian speakers the puzzle makes no sense!!

Maybe it would make some sense if 'English' was the general language.
As it stands, it is a very absurd puzzle...

I'm 3 years late for the explanation, but as Alexander already mostly got it:
Perec (pepper in russian) with 3 apostrophies after it means we drop the last 3 letters = Pe
2=i means we replace the 2nd letter with i = P i
Stol (table) gives us the next 4 letters = P i stol
et added at the end is the finishing touch = P i stol et
Pistolet means pistol, which the corresponds to the title of it being from a military shop.
Oh, and for the people complaining that this isn't in English - your inability to speak any other language is your own shortcoming, not someone elses issue.
