Rating of the best traumatic pistols for 2020

The safety of life in such a dangerous time comes to the fore. Attempts are made for financial gain or with more dire motives. The easiest way to keep yourself safe is to purchase a traumatic weapon. Traumatic pistols outwardly resemble combat ones, but their design has been modified. Instead of live ammunition, they use, for example, rubber bullets. This type of bullet is not so dangerous, but it will help protect yourself from the attacker and disable him.

How to choose the right traumatic gun?

Before buying a traumatic pistol, you should decide on the purpose of purchase. Someone is looking for an option that can be secretly carried with them. It is important for someone to have a copy of a certain model of combat weapons. For the third, the power of this weapon is important. Having decided on the purpose of buying a weapon, you can already consider the selection criteria.

The caliber of the weapon is one of the main criteria from which to start choosing. With a large caliber, the pistol will have great power but also large size. Although, it should be noted that in self-defense, a small pistol can also inflict damage to the enemy.

Please note which types of cartridges are suitable for your model of traumatic pistol. Not all rubber bullets are available for every pistol type. Particular attention should be paid to the allowed kinetic energy of the bullet. If you use bullets, the energy of which exceeds the permissible norm, then you can easily disable the weapon.

Weapon material plays an important role when choosing a model. Weapons made of soft materials can become unusable at any time. This can happen both during the shot and before it.

Each weapon is designed for a certain number of shots. Since traumatic weapons are not made of such durable materials as military weapons, it is not advisable to learn how to shoot with them. And if you have no experience with weapons, and training is necessary, then preference should be given to models with a large number of shots.

When choosing between a foreign and a domestic manufacturer, do not rush to vote in honor of the first option. Russian arms manufacturers are no worse. In addition, they manufacture weapon models under the current legislation.

The size of the gun must also be considered. In self-defense, speed is the main criterion. A small pistol will be convenient to carry with you at all times. And in order to quickly apply it in case of an attack, you need a comfortable holster. A large pistol will be noticeable, and not always comfortable with constant wear.
