The signal pistol is very similar in design and operation features to its combat counterpart. However, the characteristic differences are the material of manufacture (as a rule, it is a zinc alloy) and the possibility of firing only a noise (blank) cartridge. Most use these weapons to reconstruct military operations. In signal pistols, a light or flash-noise cartridge is used. It is safe to use, they cannot harm an attacker or the defender himself. In accordance with the law, starting weapons up to 6 mm are purchased by individuals without a license. Therefore, it is quite simple to become the owner of a signal pistol, the only restriction is that the user must be over 18 years old.
Starting gun — purpose and principle of operation
Initially, the main purpose of the signal pistol was to give a sound signal during sports competitions. Recently, such weapons have been increasingly used as personal protective equipment. The signal pistol, even taking into account the fact that it has only a psychological effect on the attacker, is often used for self-defense. Thanks to the realistic appearance and noise effect, it seems that you have a combat weapon in your hands. The offender simply will not risk attacking an armed person.
Cartridges for this type of weapon are only intended to cause an appropriately loud sound effect. The trigger is pulled out, the mechanism starts the cartridge under a certain pressure, a shot is obtained that will not harm anyone. The presence of an adjustable fuse protects against uncontrolled triggering.
