Traumatic revolver "Ratnik 410h45TK": technical characteristics, photo, reviews

The national revolver "Ratnik 410x45TK" belongs to the category of traumatic pistols. The popularity of this weapon both in combat performance and in non-lethal version is due to the convenience of using the model, as well as the safety of wearing. Revolvers as a separate category have been developing for over 150 years and do not lose relevance, often winning from automatic analogues. The model in question is a copy of the Pistol "Udar U-94". It was created by Russian gunsmiths in the nineties of the last century and was intended for use in the Interior Ministry. The model in this area did not get accustomed, however it began to be developed in the direction of non-combat purposes.

History of creation

Since carrying firearms requires special permission and status, the production facility AKBS (Nizhny Novgorod) produced a short-barreled traumatic revolver "Ratnik 410x45TK", which is a copy of the already mentioned "Blow". This proved to be a very effective weapon for self-defense.

As ammunition, rubber cartridges with a universal caliber for this category of weapons are used. It should be noted that initially the production of a combat analog was established in Kovrov. Subsequently, the Nizhny Novgorod gunsmiths used design notes and equipment to produce a new modification. "Ratnik 410h45TK" will like the connoisseurs of brutal, but comfortable weapons. From his "colleague" the gun inherited an impressive appearance with low weight and good ergonomics. The weight of the revolver is about 500 grams in the charged state.

Description

To the creation of the pistol under consideration, domestic designers came up unconventionally. They made a modification for bullets with a Rubber bullet type Rubber caliber 16 mm. The model has successfully passed certification, it is considered one of the most effective versions of civilian weapons.

The distinctive features of the "Ratnik 410x45TK" revolver is the presence of a drum compartment and a stem channel with an absolutely smooth cylindrical configuration. Such a decision excludes the possibility of stopping the ammunition during a shot. In addition, the geometry of the chamber and the trunk portion does not allow the use of heavier charges. Any proposed combat shell will simply collapse in the trunk due to smooth walls and increased their internal diameter.

The drum of the shortened "Ratnik 410x45TK" pistol, which is reviewed below, contains five cartridges. The main tube is made of steel. Trigger shock mechanism is a system of double triggering, and the sight is provided by a mechanical type. The dimensions of the flies are brought to a state that facilitates operation at short distances. Aim and accurately shoot at 20-25 meters will be very difficult.

Used ammunition

Along with the innovative design and design, the developers of the company "AKBS" should be given credit in terms of creating a new turret cartridge. "Ratnik 410x45TK", a photo of which is presented above, uses a Rubber cartridge. It is equipped with a steel shortened sleeve (45 mm) and a rubber bullet. The damping element is a polymer ball 16 mm in diameter. Its weight is about three grams.

The predecessor used analogues with a caliber of 13 mm with a mass of 1.15 g each. Some users note that this design did not significantly reduce the effectiveness of the shot, but significantly reduced the accuracy rating, as the bullets scattered in the sides. The updated model does not have such a problem and is in the lead in competition between domestic and foreign traumatic revolvers.

The muzzle energy of the pistol is more than 100 J. At the same time, the current medical norms regarding the specific energy in case of injury are observed. Manufacturers of the "Warrior 410x45TK" were concerned about creating a powerful "trauma", which does not contradict the legislation, surpassing the majority of competitors by 30 percent by the strike force and calibration.

Features

The trunk canal of the revolver in question has an ideal cylindrical shape with absolutely smooth inner walls. This allows to ensure a stable speed and directionality of the flight of the rubber bullet. In addition, jamming of the ammunition in the trunk is excluded.

Not all judges of automatic pistols will react positively to the replacement of the existing weapons with the traumatic revolver "Ratnik 410x45TK". However, the true admirers of this class of "traumatics" will appreciate the specimen in its true worth. The model is difficult to attribute to compact versions due to the impressive size of the drum (44 mm in diameter). Nevertheless, the gun has a simple and reliable design, low maintenance, high power.

Appearance

The "Ratnik 410x45TK" pistol retained an almost identical appearance with its predecessor. The changes were only the drum, which became more voluminous and increased the mass of weapons. The comfortable handle is well in the hand, the balance of the short-barreled revolver has become somewhat better, as far as possible in this category. A significant advantage is the lack of parts that can catch on to clothing.

Among the shortcomings is the unstable coating of the gun frame, which begins to deform literally after several dozen shots. Some users note this as a plus, bringing the damaged area to the perfect shine by hand. This makes it possible to individualize the weapon. In fact, without additional painting, the model wears out more quickly under the influence of various external factors.

Comparison with competitors

The national revolver "Ratnik 410x45TK", whose characteristics are given above, has two main rivals on the domestic market. This is his predecessor under the index of 13x45 and the gun "Lom-13 9PA".

Below are the main parameters of competitors. First, consider the characteristics of the modification "Ratnik 13x45":

• Length / width / height - 173/44/136 mm.
• The caliber is 13 mm.
• Weight - 0.46 kg (without cartridges).

This gun is lightweight, has a long working life, and a high potential for traumatic ammunition. Among the minuses there is a not very beautiful exterior, unintelligible design of the inside of the trunk, leading to a deterioration in ballistics, as well as the high cost of rather rare charges.

The revolver "Ratnik 410x45TK", which is reviewed below, has one more direct competitor on the domestic market - short-barreled gun "Lom-13 9PA". Below are its characteristics:

Traumatic revolver «Ratnik 410h45TK»: reviews

As the owners note, the pistol under consideration is quite comfortable and reliable. He is much more effective for self-defense than his previous version. This is due to the use of cartridges with improved characteristics that differ from traumatic ammunition 13x45 with the best killer force, range and accuracy. Such weapons are also great for training and recreational shooting.

Consumers say that an unremarkable and angular at first glance, the weapon fits comfortably in the hand, has no protruding parts. A small capacity (5 rounds) of some owners does not suit. However, it should be noted that the category of pistols in question does not apply to the automatic variant. Consequently, the revolver does not win by its rate of fire, but by design and reliability.

Security

This aspect is important when wearing and using any weapon. The revolver in question does not have a special fuse, which makes it possible to accelerate its application, if necessary. However, the mechanism of the gun provides for blocking the drummer, if the trigger is not fully squeezed. This allows you to exclude the possibility of an accidental shot.

For added security, it is recommended that the drum chamber be empty before the hammer. This approach will avoid accidental volley when the weapon is dropped. For quick shooting, it's enough just to press the trigger, which will lead to an automatic cocking and rotation of the drum with the subsequent feeding of the cartridge into the barrel.

About shortcomings

As noted by users, another disadvantage of the "Ratnik" is the axial part of the rocker arm. This element may eventually drop out of its nest after a certain amount of time. There are cases when, when preparing weapons for cleaning, the drum fell out completely.

As a rule, such a malfunction is accompanied by the production of internal metal and the erasure of paint. It should be noted that the hole for the axle is drilled in a frame made of aluminum. Alternatively, to solve the problem, you can fill the space with black paint, which will increase the friction and reduce slippage of the element. However, such a decision is temporary. The optimal option will be the installation of a transverse screw, abutting the axis and then fixing it. The second method is more effective, since the rocker can be replaced with a new instance, which can not be done with the frame.

Interesting Facts

Revolver "Ratnik 410h45TK", solid bullets for charging which can not be used, has an interesting and complex history of creation. The Degtyarev factory, where the predecessor of this pistol was manufactured, at a certain moment decided to significantly increase the selling price for the customer (AKBS). The supply contract was interrupted, and the production of the model was suspended. Only after a while, at the request of potential consumers, the production of revolvers resumed in small batches. The first version was issued until 2009, until the validity of the permit certificate expired. At the same time, the retail price of the gun increased almost threefold, but the demand for it remained stable.

The new modification of the revolver "Ratnik 410x45TK" company "АКБС" presented at the exhibition "Hunting and weapons" in the autumn of 2009. So the new history of the domestic traumatic pistol began. The updated ammunition shell is a shortened 410-gauge analog . The cost of operation was quite acceptable, due to the prevalence of used bullets. The projectile is a 16-millimetric ball, which is softer than the analogs used in 13x45 cartridges. The diameter of the barrel of the new model remained the same as the main mechanism. Despite some of the shortcomings of the released version, it is popular with the population.

Exploitation

In the trunk of the pistol there are hardly noticeable protrusions in the form of oval pins, placed at a slight angle perpendicular to the line of the trunk. The diagonal arrangement of these elements is due to the fact that with a strictly perpendicular arrangement of the load, the walls of the aluminum working chamber become excessive.

The first parts of the revolver "Ratnik" were equipped with a fly and a groove, serving for aiming. It turned out that such structural features do not allow avoiding the bullet slip not only to the side, but also downwards. It was decided to equip a short-barreled pistol with a large one and a slot slanted to the left. This made it possible to increase the accuracy of the pistol, although not very positively affected the appearance.

To improve the quality of fire, the arrow still needs to take the lead to the left, changing depending on the distance to the target. The optimal distance from the pistol in question is 3-4 meters. The revolver, to all other things, is sensitive to the quality of the cartridge's equipment, which can lead to a significant spread of bullets and impact on the shot. Despite such features, "Ratnik" is great for self-defense, but for hitting on long-range targets is not intended.
