"Wasp" (trauma): TTX, species, photo

Already a year in our country you can hear arguments about the prospects of legalization of normal military weapons, to which citizens can exercise their right to self-defense in practice. There are no special concessions in this matter. But citizens who really need it can get a traumatic "Osa" pistol. This trauma is widely known not only in our country. He is quite a popular and reliable weapon of self-defense.

Terrible beauty

Visually, the pistol is considerably lengthened. Why is it so, because the new trauma of "Wasp", the photo of which is in our article, did not change in size exactly? It's all in the horizontal ducts, due to which the pistol began to look much longer. In addition, this same technological solution is intended to somewhat ease the overall weight. The safety brace also acquired a new and interesting shape. Due to this, the trauma of the "Wasp" has become much more impressive, and from now on it no longer looks like a simple rocket launcher.

Main characteristics of the system

The development of this pistol was started in 1997. Studies in the field of civil non-lethal weapons at that time were deeply studied at the Scientific Research Institute of Applied Chemistry. In two years this pistol is produced serially. Today it is produced in the city of Sergiev Posad.

So, the "Wasp" is a trauma, a permit for wearing which can be obtained by every capable citizen. You can do this in the MIA department of your place of residence. Be sure to provide medical certificates from an expert in narcology and a psychiatrist.

This weapon is designed for active self-defense, as well as for delivering sound and light signals in order to attract attention. For these purposes, the designers created five types of special cartridges, including traumatic, light-sound, aerosol, lighting and signal varieties.

To date, the "Wasp" (trauma) - not one gun, but a whole platform of legal weapons. It is used by both citizens and certain subdivisions of law enforcement agencies. Due to good ergonomics and built-in laser pointer, which effectively highlights the target, even an ill-prepared person can lead effective shooting. Only in one version is released "Wasp" (trauma)? The types of this type of weapon are much more diverse! Here are the main models:

• PB-2 "Aegis";
• PB-4 "OSA";
• PB-4M;
• PB-4B (index GRAU - 6P56);
• PB-4-1;
• PB-4-1ML;
• PB-4-2.

Today, the fourth generation of these pistols is being manufactured. Perhaps, the "Wasp" is a trauma that really has no analogues in the world practice both in terms of the number of barrels produced and efficiency.

Distinctive features

The fourth generation differs from its predecessors not only by the increased caliber, but also by the greatly increased power of the used ammunition. Of course, the modification of cartridges - a very controversial moment, since the owners of old versions of this weapon can not use new ammunition.

By the way, if you do not know why the "Wasp" trauma does not work, the reason may lie just because you have inadvertently acquired an unsuitable type of ammunition. Of course, the old patrons will "hang out" in the chamber of the new pistol like peas, but the imagination of people is sometimes really inexhaustible.

But the increased amount of powder was very positively affected by the ballistic characteristics of the bullet, which became much more stable in flight, which allows for effective fire at long ranges. Thus, the "Wasp" is a trauma, the characterization of which is closer to real combat weapons. Perhaps, this is the only adequate means of self-defense available to Russian citizens.

The pistol is equipped with a block of four barrel-barrels. This part is made of light and strong alloys based on aluminum. Since the length of its own gun barrel is extremely small, the lining of the ammunition is responsible for its elongation. Does this circumstance worsen the maximum distance on which the Osa trauma can be used? Feedback indicates that this does not happen. On the contrary, in the new model of the pistol, the range of damage was markedly increased (we'll tell about it later).

What can a new munition do?

So, the new cartridge has the marking 18,5х55ТД. The manufacturer reports a significantly increased "combat" qualities. In particular, in terms of stopping power, it is almost completely analogous to the standard "Makarov" cartridge, but the likelihood of causing severe injuries to a person when using it is minimized.

Thus, the "Wasp" (trauma), whose TTX is constantly improving, even when used for its intended purpose, protects a person from the claims of the lawyer's lawyers. When using something more powerful, such cases are not excluded ...

Changes

Serious work was done in the context of the electronic "stuffing" used in the weapons. By simplifying and reducing the cost of its design, it was possible to significantly improve the overall reliability of weapons.

But nevertheless the basic changes have undergone a traumatic cartridge in which structure the steel core has entered. The stopping effect is caused by a very strong pain effect. It occurs when a heavy bullet, encased in a dense rubber shell, strikes the target with force. In this case, no damage to a person, if from the muzzle to him there is a distance of at least one meter. The muzzle energy of the new pistol reaches 93 J, while the old "Wasp" (trauma) produced only 85 J.

High "field" characteristics of new cartridges

The shank of the bullet is now not clogged. It was this design technique that allowed to finally solve the problem with a somersault of an ammunition in flight. From now on bullets and gas generators are manufactured separately. Finally, serious work was carried out in the field of bullet weight changing, which also positively affected the shot ballistics.

When firing at 25 meters, the diameter of the scattering is 20 cm, which is an excellent result for this type of weapon. If we compare these results with the traumatic "Shaman" pistol, it turns out that they are better by about 1.5 times. At the same time, in the cartridges of "Wasps" the bullet is held in the cartridge case only due to the elastic tension of the rubber, which significantly improves accuracy and accuracy of the shooting.

Tests, testimonials of shooters

How did Osa's trauma show itself in real conditions? The test in the "field" proved that the range of the gun really increased significantly. On the contrary, the return has become much more attractive. Experienced arrows say that now even a person of average physical condition can hold a pistol.

It is important to note that the sound of gunshots from this weapon is very loud, which makes it possible to attract the attention of the police, and the returns are relatively small. The latter circumstance is very important for women and ill-trained men.

There are also special cartridges for a noisy attack. The sound and flash are so powerful that people lose their orientation in space for at least 30 seconds. Visual and auditory sensations recover much longer. For hunters, fishermen and tourists, it is more important that in specialized stores you can buy specialized signal cartridges containing pyrotechnic elements of several colors. The height of the flight of the signal element is from 100 to 120 meters. The shell fires in at least six seconds.

Care of the weapon

To not be unarmed at the right time, you should take care of the gun. By the way, how and what to clean the trauma of "Osu"? The manufacturer has good news for the "lazy"! Since there is practically no trunk for this weapon, it is enough to erase a small amount of carbon after use, using a soft flannel and a drop of gun lubricant. Most of the gunpowder burners take on extended sleeves, which after use are simply thrown away.

Installing accessories

A large (in comparison with previous models) length and the presence on the side of the arms of the grooves for the installation of additional sighting devices - a feature of this pistol. In addition, it differs in the regular installation of a much more powerful target designator. The size of the guard was markedly enlarged with simultaneous improvement of its ergonomics.

Thanks to this, weapons can be fired even by wearing thick gloves. For our climate this is an important innovation. In other respects, there are no significant differences from previous versions of this weapon.

What else is the trauma of the Wasp? The testimonies testify that this weapon can be successfully used in combination with the most perfect aiming devices of both imported and domestic production. Arrows argue that due to their use, you can quite confidently hit the target, located at a distance of 30 meters.

Charging process

The gun frame is made of a special grade of durable, plastic-resistant plastic. The block of trunks with a frame is connected by means of the usual hinged mechanism. To charge the weapon follows only (!) On one cartridge. To bring the gun to the desired state, it is simply "broken", as is the case with hunting double-barrels. The liners in this case partially exit from the chamber by the action of a spring ejector. The final extraction is carried out manually. Remove the used sleeves simply, the effort is minimal.

Trigger Features

The trigger mechanism is electric, working on the principle of a dynamo machine. The current is generated at the moment the trigger is pressed, and therefore no additional power sources for the weapon are required. But there is an exception: if you need a laser target pointer, you will have to attend to the presence of a lithium battery. Switch "pointer" is located above the pistol grip, on the left side of the weapon.

All users of "Wasps" should remember that this is a weapon. Reviews and repeated cases, when the pistol was inaccurately treated, indicate that a shot from it can be lethal. First, some people have a low threshold of pain perception, and therefore death can come from a painful shock. Secondly, when a bullet hits the eye or the bone of the skull, a severe trauma, fraught with a fatal outcome, is practically guaranteed.
