Hunting weapon (rifled) of Russian production: review

Russian rifled hunting weapons, unlike western smooth-bore analogs, have special cuts on the inner surface of the trunk. It is thanks to such incisions during the shot that the cartridge is given a spin. As a result, the firing range is significantly increased, as well as the stability of the bullet trajectory in flight.

Basic Types

Considering hunting weapons (rifled) of Russian production, it is necessary to distinguish several of its varieties:

1. Self-loading carbines. In the kit there is a fixed or removable store with a capacity of 5 to 10 cartridges. Recharging of the weapon after each shot is made in an automatic mode.
2. Shotgun with shotgun. Recharging of the next cartridge takes place manually. In comparison with the previous version, this design is more reliable. However, it is quite obvious that the rate of fire here suffers.
3. Combined hunting weapon (rifled) of Russian production. It combines the features of rifled and smooth trunks. It is a universal means for hunting. The only drawback is the impressive weight of the weapon, which becomes palpable when long transitions are necessary.
