On the shelves of specialized stores a lot of means for self-defense are presented to the attention of civilian consumers. Judging by the numerous reviews, Russian citizens are quite in great demand with the barrelless traumatic pistol Osa M 09. The basis for the creation of this infantry unit was the traumatic complex PB-4-2.
The new sample of non-lethal weapons has some improvements. About the device and the characteristics of the "Wasp M 09" you will learn from this article.
Acquaintance with the "injury"
In 1997, the Russian designer G. Bideev was created a model of non-combat traumatic weapons "Wasp". In subsequent years, weapons at the research institute of the Research Institute of Applied Chemistry underwent intensive modernization. As a result, several improved modifications of this small weapon appeared in the lineup. "Wasp M 09" is the new gun in the line. This option belongs to the category of non-lethal weapons of limited destruction. In other words, this “injury” is intended solely for self-defense. The price of the traumatic pistol "Wasp M 09" is 19 thousand rubles.
Device
Like previous models of "injuries", the "Wasp M 09" contains four chamber, which are connected in one block. Initially, the developer used an aluminum alloy to make the case. According to experts, the new weapons use special shockproof plastic. Structurally, the weapon consists of a handle, frame and cartridge cartridge.
The trunks in this model are replaced by thick-walled and relatively long aluminum sleeves. The cartridge cartridge (it is also called the cartridge chamber), the designers connected with the hinge assembly in the lower part to the pistol frame. In the first "injuries" of the Wasp, a flammable capsule system was used, which was charged using batteries. In subsequent modifications, the developer decided to use a magnetic pulse generator, for which a separate source is not needed. They left the battery. However, in Osa M 09, it feeds only the laser target pointer.
About Sights
For traumatic pistols "Wasp" provides a simple open sight. It is a channel in the cartridge cartridge, inside which there is a white-painted front sight. Subsequent modifications, the developer began to equip with laser target designators (LCC), which are powered by CR-123A lithium batteries. In "Wasp M 09" can be used LCC green or red. This pointer turns on automatically. It is enough to take a gun in your hand.
How to charge?
They load a pistol at one ammunition. The reloading is carried out in the same way as in a double-barreled hunting rifle: it is enough to simply fold the cartridge block down. In the “injury” a spring-loaded ejector is used, with which the sleeves protrude slightly beyond the edges of the chamber. They must also be removed one at a time, manually.
About technical specifications
The wasp M 09 pistol has the following parameters:
- "Injury" caliber 18.5x55 mm.
- The pistol holder is designed for 4 ammunition.
- Weighs no more than 360 g.
- Length - 13.5 cm.
- The power indicator was 91 J.
About ammunition
"Osa M 09" is considered a multifunctional complex, since it fires not only traumatic, but also lighting, signal, light-sound and gas (aerosol) cartridges.
In order not to confuse them, you need to pay attention to special marking. As a self-defense, use a cartridge 18.5x55 TD. Its stopping power can be compared with a 9x18 mm bullet fired from a Makarov pistol. The traumatic ammunition uses a large-caliber heavy bullet inside which contains a reinforcing metal core. Thus, getting into the body, it does not cause much harm due to the rubber coating, but it has a very strong pain effect. According to experts, the indicators of the initial velocity and muzzle energy of the projectile in the cartridges of different batches may differ slightly. Despite the fact that this gun is not combat, during its operation you need to be very careful. A gun can cause death if shot from a small distance into the head.
