About appearance
Judging by the numerous reviews, the Glock-17 and the traumatic model are very similar in appearance. Both rifle units with square bolt cases, plastic frames and anatomical grips. Since it is forbidden to produce a traumatic weapon that would completely copy a combat one, in the Phantom-T a bright white marking was applied to the body. gun frameIt is a steel frame covered with plastic.

About the trunk

On the reverse side of the trunk with a square section. The diameter of its middle part is narrowed to 5 mm. Some consumers are wondering why these design changes were made if the diameter of the projectiles used by the injury is 11 mm? According to experts, the task of the barrel narrowing is to prevent the firing of live ammunition.
In an effort to maintain a spectacular look for the Phantom-T, Turkish designers, unlike Russian manufacturers, have chosen a different path. As a result, the traumatic Glock is equipped with a barrel without any jumpers. Structurally, it consists of a false barrel, the wall thickness of which is 2.5 mm, and a liner - a special steel liner with 2.5 mm walls. Thanks to this element, the barrel channel is resistant to corrosion processes and has an increased service life. According to the owners, the weapon is quite accurate and long-range.
About design

Under the barrel there is a place for a special guide, with which a traumatic pistol can be equipped with additional tactical devices: a laser sight or a small flashlight.
About fuses
In an effort to make the injury safe for the owner, the Turkish manufacturer has equipped the shooting model with three automatic fuses.
