The IZH-79-8 pistol is used as a weapon for self-defense; sound and gas cartridges serve as ammunition. Two modifications are serially produced: for a caliber of 7.6 mm and 8 mm. Trigger device - self-cocking type. Consider the parameters and features of this weapon.
Description
IZH-79-8 was created on the basis of the combat analogue of PM (Makarov pistol). The main components and mechanisms are structurally practically the same as the original. The working elements of the trigger mechanism and the frame are made of weapon steel, which is not often found in the design of gas pistols. “Beard” is practically absent, the shutter is lightened, the pulse of the charge used is enough to discard the shutter.
The thin barrel is equipped with a pressed-in sleeve, which increases the pressure during the salvo and makes it impossible to remake the barrel under combat charge. On the outside of the breech there are cuts, the barrel mount to the frame is weakened. This is done so that when fired with a live cartridge, the structure simply scatters in parts. Thanks to the reinforced materials, the weapon in question surpasses many domestic and foreign counterparts in reliability and strength. In Europe, the export version comes under the popular ammunition 8 * 20 mm.
IZH-79-8: technical specifications
Below are the main parameters of this gun:
- Caliber - 7.6 / 8 mm.
- Effective firing range - 3 m.
- Cartridge capacity - 8 rounds.
- Length / width / height - 161 / 30.5 / 127 mm.
- Weight with charge - no more than 730 g.
Incomplete disassembly
The gas pistol IZH-79-8 is subjected to complete or incomplete disassembly. The first option is appropriate only in case of severe pollution after being in the rain or snow, as well as for repairs. Incomplete disassembly is carried out as follows:
- The magazine is removed from the base of the handle by releasing the latch to the stop. The chamber is inspected by lowering the flag, releasing the bolt to the rear extreme position, setting the delay and inspecting the chamber for the presence of ammunition.
- The shutter is separated from the frame. To do this, pull the trigger guard, take it to the right and rest in the frame so that it locks in this position. Then the shutter is moved to its extreme rear position and lifted by the rear end until it feeds forward under the influence of the spring mechanism. The shutter is detached.
- A spring of a return type is dismantled from the barrel.
Assembly of IZH-79-8 is carried out in the reverse order.
Complete disassembly
This operation begins with the partial disassembly procedures described above. Then perform the following actions:
- Unscrew the handle screw and remove it from the frame.
- The valve and the mainspring itself will appear. After moving the valve down, the spring mechanism is easily removed.
- Pry off with an awl the edge of a spring whispered with a slide delay. Then the sear is rotated in the pins until it is easily separated from the gun and dismantled along with the shutter lag.
- The trigger is tilted forward and removed from the seat.
- At the finishing stage, the trigger rod and hook, as well as the cocking lever, are dismantled.
On this, the complete disassembly of the pistol of the pistol in question can be considered completed
Gas cartridges 8 mm
These ammunition is used as a means of active self-defense in the event of a real threat to life or health. Charges are used to psychologically suppress the aggressor without causing him serious injuries and injuries. Inside the gas cartridge is equipped with a capsule with a red cap. The reservoir is filled with the active substance (pelargonic acid morpholide). This mixture causes tearing and irritates the mucous membrane of the respiratory organs.
TTX (on the example of a cartridge of the type "Teren-3"):
- Caliber - 8 mm.
- Length / diameter - 20/8 mm.
- Weight - 3 g.
- Options - boxes of 50 pcs.
- Kit weight - 153 g.
Application
The 8 mm gas cartridges of this type are effective at a distance of up to 3 meters. Due to the design features of most pistols where this ammunition is used, the weapon is used mainly without long-term aiming, “offhand”.
To acquire effective fire skills, training is needed, which should take into account the mass of the gun, gusts of wind, other factors. This will help not only accurately hit the target, but also to avoid getting part of the gas in your direction. It is worth emphasizing that the chamber and barrel of the IZH-79-8 gun must be cleaned and lubricated after use. The same applies to processing weapons after prolonged storage. Proper maintenance and care not only prolongs the working life of the gun, but also protects it from jamming the cartridge.
Shooting the considered charges is prohibited if the distance to the person is less than one meter from the muzzle. It also excludes the possibility of using cartridges with mechanical, corrosion defects, or after the expiration date. The optimal conditions for storing such cartridges are temperature from -20 to +40 degrees with humidity not exceeding 90%.
