Consider its technical characteristics and features below. It is worth emphasizing that this weapon requires special permission and appropriate storage conditions.
Description
The pistol "Thunder-021", reviews of which are given below, is produced by the Russian company Tekhnoarms. The company is located in the Moscow region, in Narofominsk, is a leader in the production of small and traumatic equipment. The basis for the weapon in question is an analogue of the Ukrainian production of the Fort brand. Many components are identical to the specified type.
Traumatic weapons are made of special weapon steel, characterized by a high level of reliability and a significant margin of safety. Incomplete disassembly can be done without additional tools. Complete dismantling is recommended only in exceptional cases. High build quality is confirmed by numerous tests and tests.
Device
The "Thunder-021" pistol (reviews of experts and users confirm this) is equipped with automatic equipment, which operates on the principle of receiving a free shutter return. In this case, the casing is held by a return spring. It is in the frontal position directly under the barrel, which is mounted on the frame. The trigger mechanism of the gun has a double action:
- A shot after the preliminary cocking of the trigger.
- Firing by self-ignition.
In the second case, the option of open placement with the subsequent activation of the trigger is provided.
The safety fuse is responsible for safety during operation and storage. Its lever is located on the left side of the shutter. The mechanism turns off by moving the lever to the lower position. The sight is a rear sight and a front sight, which is fixed in the groove as a "swallow's nest". If necessary, you can make lateral corrections. To facilitate aiming, there are white marks on the rear sides of the rear sight.
The store for "Thunderstorm-021" has a double-row checkerboard staggering of cartridges with subsequent supply of one element at the exit. The holder of the holder is located on the left side of the bolt frame, the material for the manufacture of the handle is polymer.
Features
The weapon in question is an updated version of Thunderstorm-02. The main difference between the modifications is the use of special technology in barrel processing (EVO) in the new version. As a protection against alteration of the "trauma" for firing with metal ammunition, an obstacle is provided in the form of a misaligned turned bush installed directly behind the chamber. Such a design is present on almost all Technoarms products.
EVO Technology
According to reviews, “Thunderstorm-021” and analogues with trunks processed using EVO technology have proven themselves exclusively on the positive side. This is primarily manifested in the improvement of reliability and accuracy in firing. In addition, such a design has the following advantages:
- Stable accuracy, regardless of the type of cartridges.
- There is no need for a frequent change of the combat spring mechanism.
- There is an optimal operation of the shutter and the supply of ammunition at any power indicator.
- Technological design features increase the reliability of weapons.
TTX
Below are the main parameters of the traumatic gun "Thunderstorm-021":
- Purpose - a personal weapon for self-defense.
