A-112
On the Russian arms market, among various pneumatic rifle models, the most powerful pistol is the A-112, which is manufactured by Anix. The designers of this company used the Belgian High Power Browning as the basis for the Russian "spirit". A-112 is a semi-automatic pneumatic.
The model is equipped with a self-cocking system. To fire a shot, the owner must first remove the weapon from the fuses, and then pull the trigger. The pistol magazine is loaded with fifteen steel spherical bullets of 4.5 mm caliber. The pistol runs on compressed carbon dioxide. According to the owners, one cartridge is enough for 50 shots. A steel ball flies out of the barrel at a speed of 150 m/s. From 12 meters, such a projectile can break a glass bottle. A-112 is equipped with a rifled barrel. Creating a shooting wind model, the manufacturer applied the "moving barrel" scheme. Thus, the supply of steel balls from the magazine is carried out using a self-cocking system.
Since the creators managed to minimize the leakage of gases during the operation of the pistol, firing from the A-112 is quite powerful. Despite the fact that this air gun has a fairly large weight (980 g), it fits very comfortably in the palm of your hand.
