Many civilian weapon manufacturers are adapting combat pistols for traumatic ammunition. For commercial purposes, they use models that have become legendary and therefore especially attractive. One of these samples is the combat Tulsky-Tokarev, which served as the basis for the creation of the traumatic pistol MP 81. The description, device and technical characteristics of this "injury" are presented in the article.
Introduction to the rifle unit
The traumatic pistol MP 81 is certified as a civilian weapon for self-defense. Produced since 2008. Producer - IzhMekh. Outwardly, the "injury" practically does not differ from its combat counterpart. To become the owner of the MP-81, you will have to pay from 15 to 20 thousand rubles.
How are civilian weapons made?
As they sayspecialists, the MP 81 traumatic pistol is made by making some design changes in the original TT. So that the “injury” is not much different from the combat model, the developer retained the main structural units. For example, the traumatic pistol MP 81 with exactly the same frame, bolt and trigger mechanism as the Tulsky-Tokarev. In addition, the manufacturer has retained the original historical markings of the combat TT and the handling of the rifle unit.
What is changed in "injury"?
Despite the external similarity with the combat counterpart, there are several changes in the MP 81 traumatic pistol. For example, IzhMekh employees made the heel in the clip shorter. The fact is that since 9-mm RA ammunition is used in the “trauma”, there is no need for an original TT magazine. The manufacturer borrowed a clip from a combat rifle unit from the “injury” of the MP-79 model. Since a civilian rifle unit is equipped with a non-native TT magazine, it is impossible to put a traumatic pistol on a bolt delay. The magazine has a steel heel and a plastic feeder. In order for the owner to have the opportunity to clean, the clip was made collapsible. This part of the pistol, judging by the reviews, is resistant to increased loads and falls. However, in order for the MP-81 clip to last longer, experts do not advise keeping it equipped. Otherwise, the magazine spring will weaken. You can buy a clip for 600 rubles.
Changes also affected the barrel of the weapon. Also in the areadrummer bolt with a sawn back, which is not typical for TT. According to the approved certificate, MP 81 is a traumatic pistol. Therefore, a number of design changes were made by the manufacturer so that these weapons could not fire real live ammunition. For this purpose, the TT barrel was drilled out so that a sleeve could be installed into it. It is also used in civilian weapons as a false barrel. If you look at the muzzle of a traumatic pistol, you will see that it is noticeably different from the muzzle in the TT.
Due to the fact that gun-grade steel is used to make the barrel of the TT pistol, owners of the MP-81 do not face the problem of barrel bore swelling. To make the "injury" outwardly look like a combat original, some craftsmen press a metal sleeve into the remains of a fake barrel. Since the barrel and bolt are firmly attached in the front sight area, it will be quite problematic to remove it.
What does the MP-81 shoot with?
This model of weapon for self-defense is equipped with traumatic cartridges R. A. caliber 9 mm. The target is hit by a rubber bullet. The task of this shooting unit is not to kill, but to stop the attacker. A rubber projectile for this purpose will be quite enough. When hit in a person, he will feel a strong pain shock. "Travmat" is most effective at a distance of up to 8 meters. Structurally, the barrel is not adapted for firing a bullet cartridge. Also, you can't equip"injury" by any other ammunition, the specific energy of which during the departure of the projectile exceeds 0.5 J / mm.sq. If, nevertheless, an attempt was made by the owner of a traumatic pistol to use an enhanced charge, then the barrel will be deformed and the MP-81 will eventually be damaged.

Then the parliament of the state approved a ban on the sale of these "injuries" to civilians. Since October of the same year, they began to redeem previously sold traumatic weapons. Today, according to experts, the MP-81 is allowed for sale only as a service weapon. Only security officers can purchase it.
Opinion of owners
Judging by the reviews, the MP 81 traumatic pistol can be equipped with Magnum, MDI and KSPZ cartridges"Killer +". With all ammunition, the weapon, due to its design, works equally well. However, there are differences in such a parameter as accuracy. For example, good accuracy from this "injury" is provided by AKBS. From a distance of 3 meters, shells disperse up to 50 mm. With KSPZ, the accuracy of the battle is somewhat worse. Due to the fact that the MP-81 has a small thickness, it is comfortable to wear. The disadvantage of the weapon is that in most cases the burnishing is not very high quality and quickly peels off.
What do experts advise?
In view of the fact that in Russia weapons for self-defense cannot be purchased without a permit and a license, those who wish to acquire an MP-81 will have to complete a number of formalities. The fact is that this model is a firearm of limited destruction (OOOP). According to experts, the use of such rifle units as a whole should not cause life-threatening injuries to a person. Of the "injuries", only temporary non-lethal lesions are inflicted. However, the MP-81 can inflict severe and in some cases fatal wounds. For example, if you hit the attacker in the head with a rubber bullet from a short distance. In this regard, the turnover and storage of traumatic rifle units is controlled in Russia.
Unreliable people will not be able to become the owner of MP-81. This category includes citizens under investigation, as well as those with mental disabilities. To obtain permission to purchase and store"injury", you need to write an appropriate application to the head of the licensed unit in the department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs at the place of registration and provide a medical certificate.
