The ASG CZ 75 P 07 Duty blowback pistol is a very interesting representative of airguns, for some reason poorly lit in the Russian-speaking segment of the Internet. At the same time, reading foreign forums of pneumatics enthusiasts, you come across many enthusiastic reviews about the mentioned model. The range of prices for this gun in the online stores of our country is also quite unusual: from 3,600 to 7,000 rubles. In this article, we will provide a detailed description of the model and understand its advantages and disadvantages.
Combat prototype
In 1975, the Czech arms company ΔeskΓ‘ zbrojovka as (CZ) began developing a new family of combat pistols CZ 75. The main designers were Frantisek and Josef Koutsky. A special compact model P 07 Duty CZ 75 was created for the American arms market. This gun stood out with integrated slides for attaching a laser target designator or tactical flashlight. This model is significantly different from the βfull-sizeβ CZ 75. In addition, the frame and bolt are made of special high-strength plastic, which significantly reduced the weight of the gun. The combat P07 Duty is powered by 9 mm Parabellum cartridges, the capacity of the clip is 16 ammunition. The length of the gun is 18.5 cm, weight - 770 g. Due to its low price and excellent quality, this gun is still very popular not only in the United States, but also in other countries of the world. In addition, a number of modifications have been developed. For example, CZ 75 Shadow, which is in great demand among athletes in practical shooting and law enforcement officers.
Younger brother
Thanks to the Danish company ActionSport Games, which acquired a license from CZ to reproduce forms of military weapons in the pneumatic version, a complete copy of the combat prototype was born. So, the CZ 75 air pistol differs from its older brother in the gun only in its thicker heel. In addition, the inscriptions made on the details of the weapon are completely identical to the combat brother. The ActionSport Games catalog contains three varieties of this pistol: a modification without simulating the recoil of the bolt and two models with a system. This air gun is sold in a box made of thick cardboard, on the front side of which graphic pictograms are applied, giving an idea of ββall the features of the model. On the reverse side in English is a summary of the firearm prototype of this pistol.
Buying an Air Gun
Standard equipment includes a gun with a magazine, a user manual in two languages ββ(French and English) and an ASG product catalog. In addition, the weapons store can provide CO2 cans and balls for this type of weapon as a bonus. The illustrations given in the manual in a large number will allow the owner of the gun to understand even without a knowledge of a foreign language in the operation of the CZ 75. The explanations may cause only a couple of questions, let's review them. Firstly, when equipping the cage, one of the holes should be covered with a finger to prevent the charging balls from popping up. Secondly, a warning: "You need to shoot with one confident continuous movement." This will prevent two balls from falling into the barrel at the same time.
The performance characteristics
As a source of energy is a can of CO 2 , whose weight is 12 grams. The caliber of the projectile (steel ball type BB) is 4.5 mm, the speed of charge discharge from the barrel is about 105 m / s. This parameter is measured at a temperature of +20 o Celsius. Actual speed may differ from the one indicated in the instructions due to the following reasons: temperature changes, pressure differences in the cans of different manufacturers, specific specimen features (material, assembly and workmanship), scatter of the mass and diameter of the balls, as well as calibration of the chronograph. The energy of the shot is not more than 1.7-2.1 J. The barrel of the gun is smooth, 8.3 cm long. Production material: frame - nylon; shutter - metal; shop - a metal case and a plastic heel. Capacity of a holder - 20 balls of type BB; it is equipped with a special feed lock for the convenience of gun equipment. As an aiming device, a rear sight adjustable in the horizontal direction and a fixed front sight are used. The fuse is not automatic, locks the trigger. The total length of the weapon is 18.6 cm, the weight of an unloaded pistol is 743 g, of a loaded one - 788 g.
Description CZ 75
The CZ 75 air gun is close in weight and tactile feel to a combat prototype. All the main details of the weapon: shutter, bolt delay, clip lock button, fuse are functional and move. An exception is the right-hand fuse. It is cast as a whole with the shutter and has only decorative meaning. Another difference is the bolt delay: in the combat version of the pistol, it is also used for incomplete disassembly of the weapon. In the pneumatic version, it is deprived of this function, and the disassembly order here does not correspond to the combat prototype. The pistol inherited from the elder brother a convenient handle shape. The texture of its side surfaces and the corrugation of the front and back parts, as well as the recess for the index and thumb provide a very reliable and comfortable grip.
Score
The clip CZ 75 Compact is not full-sized, but refers to the so-called pencil type. The ball compartment is made of metal. To equip the clip in it there is a cutout that fixes the feeder. If necessary, you can purchase an additional store, its price is approximately 500 rubles. The CO 2 cylinder is inserted into a special compartment in the handle of the gun, after which it is closed with a plastic cap, which is fixed by a spring-loaded latch. Unlocking is done using the lever, made in the form of a ring for attaching the strap. The spray can be punctured with a special clamping screw, at its end is a plastic handle that is completely closed by a fifth clip inserted into the gun. The screw cup is movable, which facilitates installation as well as cylinder removal.
Before shooting, you should equip the clip: insert a container with CO 2 , pierce it. After that, distort the shutter. Everything, the gun is ready to fire. The recoil simulation system provides realistic shooting. After the balls run out in the cage, the shutter will lock in the rear position. The gun uses CO 2 gas very economically. With one cylinder, an average of 80 complete shots are fired (four fully equipped stores).
