Features of barrels from the Russian CJSC Technoarms
This company in the manufacture of barrels, including traumatic guns "Groza-051", uses a completely new technology, known to many consumers of OOP models under the designation EVO. Barrels made using this technique are gradually replacing similar products of such obsolete types as V4 and V4.1.
What is the advantage of the new technology?
Unlike V4 and V4.1, the EVO method has one very significant advantage. It lies in the fact that now the trunks for traumatic pistols are equipped with special barriers. Due to this, firing with live or other metal cartridges is completely excluded. This barrel barrier is a sleeve of misaligned drilling. It is installed in front of the chamber. This arrangement reduces the load on it, which, in turn, prolongs its service life. EVO barrel features include:
- Stable accuracy of fire without any gaps. A high rate does not depend on the cartridge used.
- The owner of this traumatic gun gets rid of the need to replace the mainspring when changing the cartridge.
- Its feed and recoil are stable regardless of the power of the ammunition, the energy of which does not have a strong effect on the barrel of the Thunderstorm-051 model. Feedback from the owners of this version indicates that this "injury" -"omnivorous": the weapon shoots both weak and strong cartridges equally well. EVO technology has improved the performance of weak ammunition, especially those containing a soft ball. The Russian manufacturer made a clear calibration of the chamber and the adaptation of the magazine to the thickness of the sleeve 9 mm R. A. Reliable operation with any cartridges, high accuracy of fire and reliability are the characteristic features of EVO barrels.
Testing has shown that these traumatic pistols are much better than the previous ones equipped with V4 and V4.1 barrels. There is no visible difference between these "traumas". Technoarms, when creating a new model of a traumatic pistol, used the old version. Especially for the consumer, an improved version of the weapon is marked with the Thunderstorm-051 index.
