The MR-371 signal pistol was developed on the basis of the legendary combat weapon PM (Makarov pistol). It is noteworthy that manufacturers of the blank model copied not only the external design of a real sample, but also the principle of operation of all functional parts and mechanisms.
Appointment
When developing the signal model MP-371, the manufacturer resorted to the method of complete cooling of real weapons. At the same time, due to the specific features of the mechanical part, such a gun is absolutely impossible to remake back into combat. To purchase, wear and use as a
means of self-defense, an MR-371 pistol does not require permission.
The signal model is used to give a sound signal. A loud exhaust that resembles a real shot from a firearm acts simultaneously as a repulsive factor for the attacker and allows you to attract the attention of others.

Ammunition
Firing from an MP-371 pistol involves the use of specialized Zhevelo capsules, which have a flammable effect. The latter are placed in cartridges, the appearance of which simulates live ammunition. All ammunition is initially included in the signal pistol kit. Therefore, when buying a means of self-defense, the user does not have to separately search for suitable cartridges.
A standard, unmodified signal pistol magazine stores 8 cartridges with noise-flammable cartridges. Such blank ammunition can be made of brass or plastic. The latter option has a lower price and is intended for single use. Brass capsules offer rechargeability for reuse.
Usually, when purchasing an MP-371 signal pistol, the consumer is offered plastic disposable cartridges to charge the store. Brass cartridges are most often purchased separately. However, regardless of the nature of the capsules, reloading the gun is required after each fired shot.
Security
Operation of the signal pistol MP-371 is completely safe. Injury resulting from contact with a flammable substance is possible only with the reckless use of weapons, for example, the direction of the barrel towards the face. For this reason, it is recommended to keep the gun out of the reach of children.
Use signal weapons should be solely to attract attention or if necessary, create special effects. As for the possibilities of using a pistol for real self-defense, they are extremely limited. However, the sharp loud popping that occurs when the capsule ruptures can scare off both attacking and aggressive animals. An important role is played by the realistic appearance of the weapon, which can also become a repulsive factor for attackers.
