On the shelves of specialized stores, a lot of means for self-defense are presented to the attention of the civilian consumer. Judging by the numerous reviews, the barrelless traumatic pistol "Osa M 09" is in rather great demand among the citizens of Russia. The basis for the creation of this rifle unit was the traumatic complex PB-4-2.

The new non-lethal weapon has some improvements. You will learn about the device and characteristics of the Osa M 09 from this article.

Introduction to "trauma"

In 1997, the Russian designer Bideev G. A. A model of non-combat traumatic weapon "Wasp" was created. In subsequent years, weapons at the Research Institute of Applied Chemistry Research Institute were subjected to intensive modernization. As a result, several improved modifications of this small arms appeared in the lineup. "Osa M 09" is newpistol in 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 "Osa M 09" is 19 thousand rubles.

Device

Like the previous models of "injuries", "Osa M 09" contains four chambers, which are connected in one block. Initially, the developer used aluminum alloy to make the case. In the new weapon, according to experts, a special impact-resistant plastic is used. Structurally, the weapon consists of a handle, a frame and a cartridge cassette.

The barrels in this model are replaced by thick-walled and relatively long aluminum sleeves. Cartridge cassette (it is also called a block of chambers), the designers connected the hinge assembly in the lower part to the pistol frame. In the first "injuries" of the Wasp, an igniting primer system was used, which was charged using batteries. In subsequent modifications, the developer decided to use a magnetic pulse generator, which does not need a separate source to power it. They left the battery. However, in "Osa M 09" it only powers the laser-target pointer.

About sights

For traumatic pistols "Wasp" provides the simplest open sight. It is a channel in the cartridge cassette, inside which there is a white-colored front sight. The developer began to equip subsequent modifications with laser target designators (LCD), powerwhich is carried out by means of lithium batteries CR-123A. The Osa M 09 can use a green or red laser pointer. This pointer turns on automatically. All you have to do is take the gun in your hand.

How to charge?

Load the gun one by one. Reloading is carried out in the same way as in a double-barreled hunting rifle: the cartridge block is simply folded down. The "trauma" uses a spring-loaded ejector, with which the sleeves protrude slightly beyond the edges of the chambers. You also need to extract them one by one, manually.

About specifications

The "Osa M 09" pistol has the following parameters:

• "Travmat" caliber 18, 5x55 mm.
• Pistol clip is designed for 4 ammo.
• The weapon weighs no more than 360g
• Length - 13.5 cm.
• Power was 91 J.

About ammunition

"Osa M 09" is considered a multifunctional complex, because it shoots 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 the special markings. As self-defense, the cartridge 18, 5x55 TD is used. Its stopping power can be compared to a 9x18 mm bullet fired from a Makarov pistol. In traumatic ammunition, a large-caliber heavy bullet is used, inside whichcontains a reinforcing metal core. Thus, getting into the body, due to the rubber coating, it does not cause much harm, but it has a very strong pain effect. According to experts, 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 a combat one, you need to be very careful during its operation. The pistol can inflict a fatal wound if shot at the head from close range.

What is special about the new model?

Unlike the previous versions, "Osa M 09" is made with a modified form of the bracket, with which the cassette with cartridges is tilted. In addition, this element has been improved, as a result of which the accuracy of the battle has improved somewhat. The design of non-lethal weapons has been optimized. As a result, according to the owners, it can be worn discreetly. Another difference between the new rifle model and the weapons of the first modifications is that for the first time the developer used a thin-walled steel sleeve. Judging by the reviews, "Osa M 09" is very convenient to use, since the design was supplemented with a special indicator. Now the shooter will always know when the battery is low in the weapon.
