Which is better: a traumatic revolver or a traumatic gun?

A man's natural desire to have means of defense against an attack, but not to violate the law, is reflected in the spread of traumatic weapons. It is believed that such a weapon is difficult to inflict serious injury, but it is sufficient to stop the attacker. And the impact on the attacker is not only due to shooting on it, but also by demonstrating a weapon that looks like a combat weapon. Hence the practice of making "traumatics" in the form of copies of real combat pistols became widespread. And now on sale it is possible to easily find the known sample of the weapon, made as a traumatic pistol.

A revolver or a pistol

Features and differences in the design of certain types of weapons were inherited by their copies, which seriously affected the characteristics of traumatic weapons. So, an endless argument about what's best: a pistol or a revolver, won as a whole by supporters of automatic pistols, got its continuation. Traumatic revolver or traumatic gun? The arguments of each of the parties are the same as those given for combat weapons. In favor of the gun says its ergonomics, high power, roomy store and high speed recharge. The traumatic revolver, in turn, is simple and safe to operate, always ready to fire and has a 100% reliability of the fire. Misfire will not be an obstacle to the next shot.

And yet, due to the design features, a traumatic revolver can use only relatively weak cartridges, and therefore its efficiency is less than that of a pistol. Hence the conclusion: if the maximum damaging effect is necessary, then a pistol should be chosen, and if reliability and aesthetics are important, then certainly a traumatic revolver. Why did we mention aesthetics? Just there are few people who would not find the elegant shape of the revolver attractive. And for most owners, the appearance of their weapons means much more than its effectiveness. After all it is necessary to use it or not, it is not known, and it is necessary to keep it in hands often, therefore it would be desirable, that it was pleasant.

Traumatic revolver and ammunition to it

Cartridges for a revolver differ from a pistol constructively. Their sleeve has a protruding flange, by means of which the cartridge is fixed in the drum. Due to this feature, as well as the length of the chamber, these cartridges are very versatile, and any traumatic revolver can shoot them, if only the caliber is appropriate. The most affordable and well-proven is the cartridge 380 IU GUM. It is produced by several domestic firms, but varies in power. The strongest cartridge 380 IU GUM is produced by the company AKBS, its muzzle energy is equal to 50 Joules. However, now you can find the drum systems and under the pistol cartridge 9 mm RA, for example the traumatic revolver "Groza". The price of cartridges and weapons does not depend on its system, so it can not be one of the arguments of choice.
