Feeling safe is the usual desire of every normal person. Possessing an innate instinct for self-preservation, people try to protect themselves by all available means.

Today, various models of traumatic weapons are given to the consumer's attention. Among the "traumas" are particularly in great demand with guns. They have proven to be highly effective as a means of self-defense. One of the most popular models was a pistol manufactured by the Russian manufacturer "Technoarms" - "Groza-051". The model is reviewed in this article.

All those wishing to purchase this "trauma" must have a special license issued in the Department of Licensing and Authorization for ATC. Those who have already purchased this traumatic gun are allowed to wear it and transport it only if they have a passport or other document proving their identity. The gun "Groza-051" is certified as a firearm of limited damage (LLC).

Since 2009, the production of traumatic pistols "Groza" is being handled by the arms manufacturing company "Technoarms". The model of this "trauma" is represented by four versions:

• "Thunderstorm-021". The automation of this traumatic pistol is designed only for firing ammunition containing rubber bullets. You can buy this gun for 25 thousand rubles.

"Traumat" is effective at a distance not exceeding seven meters. The price of weapons is 23 thousand rubles.

Features of the trunks from the Russian JSC "Technoarms"

This company in the manufacture of trunks, including traumatic pistols "Groza-051", uses a completely new technology, known to many consumers of LLC models under the designation EVO. The trunks produced by this method gradually replace similar products of such obsolete types as V4 and V4.1.

What is the advantage of the new technology?

Unlike V4 and V4.1, the EVO technique has one very significant advantage. It consists that now trunks for traumatic pistols are equipped with special obstacles. Due to this, shooting by military or other metal ammunition is completely excluded. This barrel is a sleeve of non-axial drilling. It is installed in front of the chamber. This arrangement provides a reduction in the load on it, which, in turn, prolongs its operational life. Advantages of EVO trunks include:

• Stable accuracy of fire without any detachments. A high value does not depend on the cartridge used.
• The owner of this traumatic gun gets rid of the need to replace the fighting spring when changing the cartridge.
• Its feed and rollback of the shutter are stable regardless of the power of the ammunition, the energy of which does not have a strong impact on the trunk of the "Groza-051" model. Reviews of the owners of this version indicate that this "trauma" is "omnivorous": the weapon shoots equally well both weak and strong cartridges. EVO technology increased firing with weak ammunition, especially those containing a soft ball. The Russian manufacturer made a precise calibration of the chamber and the adaptation of the magazine to the thickness of the 9 mm sleeve. Reliable operation by any ammunition, high accuracy of shooting and reliability are characteristic distinctive features of EVO trunks.

The conducted testing showed that these traumatic pistols are much better than the previous ones, equipped with trunks V4 and V4.1. There is no apparent difference between these "traumatics". "Technoarms" used the old version when creating a new model of a traumatic gun. Especially for the consumer, an improved version of the weapon is marked with the index "Groza-051".
