Many civilian weapon manufacturers adapt combat pistols to traumatic ammunition. For commercial purposes, they use models that have become legendary and therefore especially attractive. One of such samples is the combat Tula-Tokareva, which served as the basis for the creation of the MP 81 traumatic pistol. The description, device and technical characteristics of this “injury” are presented in the article.
Acquaintance with a small unit
The traumatic pistol MP 81 is certified as a civilian weapon for self-defense. It has been produced since 2008. Manufacturer - IzhMekh. Externally, the "injury" is practically no different from its combat counterpart. To become the owner of the MP-81, you will have to pay from 15 to 20 thousand rubles.
How are civilian weapons made?
According to experts, the traumatic pistol MP 81 is made by making some design changes in the original TT. To "injury" is not much different from the combat model, the developer retained the main structural components. For example, the traumatic pistol MP 81 with the exact same frame, bolt and trigger mechanism, like Tula-Tokarev. In addition, the manufacturer retained the true historical marking of the combat TT and the methods of handling the rifle unit.
What is changed in the "injury"?
Despite the outward resemblance to the military counterpart, there are several changes to the MP 81 traumatic pistol. For example, employees of IzhMekh made the heel in the clip shorter. The fact is that since the 9-mm ammunition of R.A. is used in the “injury”, there is no need for the original store from the TT. The manufacturer borrowed a clip from a military rifle unit from the “trauma” of the MP-79 model. Since the civilian rifle unit is equipped with a non-native TT store, the traumatic pistol cannot be put on the slide delay. The store has a steel heel and a plastic feeder. So that the owner had the opportunity to clean, the clip was made collapsible. This part of the gun, judging by the reviews, is resistant to increased loads and falls. However, in order for the MP-81 clip to last longer, experts do not recommend storing it equipped. Otherwise, the magazine spring will loosen. You can buy a clip for 600 rubles.
The changes also affected the barrel of the weapon. Also, in the area of the drummer, a bolt with a sawn back, which is not typical for TT. According to the approved certificate, MP 81 is a traumatic gun. Therefore, the manufacturer took a number of design changes so that this weapon could not shoot real live ammunition. For this purpose, the TT barrel was drilled so that a sleeve could be installed in it. It is used in civilian weapons as a false barrel. If you look at the muzzle of a traumatic gun, you will see that it is noticeably different from the cut in the TT.
Due to the fact that gun steel is used to manufacture the TT pistol barrel, MP-81 owners do not face the problem of inflating the barrel channel. To “injury” outwardly looked like a combat original, some craftsmen in the remnants of a fake trunk are pressed into a metal sleeve. Since the barrel and bolt are locked in the front of the fly quite firmly, removing it will be quite problematic.
What is shooting MR-81?
This model of weapons for self-defense is equipped with traumatic cartridges of R.A. 9 mm caliber. The target is hit by a rubber bullet. The task of this rifle unit is not to kill, but to stop the attacker. A rubber shell for this purpose will be quite enough. If it gets into a person, he will feel a strong pain shock. "Injury" is most effective at a distance of up to 8 meters. Structurally, the barrel is not suitable for firing a bullet cartridge. Also, it is impossible to equip the “trauma” with any other ammunition, the specific energy of which, when the projectile hits, exceeds 0.5 J / mm2. If, nevertheless, the owner of the traumatic pistol made an attempt to use an enhanced charge, then the barrel is deformed and the MP-81 will eventually be damaged.

Where is the MP-81 used?
In addition to Russia, this model of a traumatic gun since January 2008 was delivered to the shelves of specialized stores in Kazakhstan. The situation changed in April 2014. Then the state parliament approved a ban on the sale of these "injuries" to civilians. In October of that year, they began to buy back previously sold traumatic weapons. Today, according to experts, MP-81 is allowed for sale only as an official weapon. Only security officers can purchase it.
Owners opinion
Judging by the reviews, the traumatic pistol MP 81 can be equipped with ammunition shells “Magnum”, “MDI” and KSPZ “Slaughter +”. With all ammunition, the weapon, thanks to its design, works equally well. Nevertheless, there are differences in such a parameter as accuracy. For example, good accuracy from this "trauma" provide AKBS. From a 3-meter distance, shells disperse up to 50 mm. With KSPZ the indicator of accuracy of battle is somewhat worse. Due to the small thickness of the MP-81, it is comfortable to wear. The disadvantage of weapons is that in most cases the bluing is not very high quality and quickly slazes.
What will experts advise?
Due to the fact that in Russia weapons for self-defense cannot be purchased without permission and a license, a person who wants to acquire an MP-81 will have to complete a number of formalities. The fact is that this model is a limited-range firearm (AEF). According to experts, the use of such rifle units as a whole should not cause life-threatening injuries. Of the “injuries” only temporary non-lethal lesions are inflicted. However, through MR-81, severe and, in some cases, fatal injuries can be inflicted. For example, if from a short distance a rubber bullet please the attacker in the head. In this regard, the turnover and storage of traumatic rifle units is controlled in Russia.
Becoming the owner of the MP-81 will not work unreliable people. This category includes citizens who are under investigation, as well as with mental disabilities. In order to obtain permission to purchase and store “injury”, you need to write a statement to the head of the licensing unit at the department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs at the place of registration and provide a medical certificate.
