What means can be used for self-defense. Means of self-defense

The right to self-defence is one of the key human rights. Everyone can and should protect themselves from illegal actions by third parties: this is true for a guy and a girl, and for a motorist, and for a student, and for anyone else. But, as you already know from the first lesson, the range of issues related to the adoption of necessary defense measures is very problematic from a legal standpoint. And the most important aspect here is the right to use means of self-defense, as well as their legality. We will deal with these problems in the third lesson.

The choice of means of self-defense

It has already become clear that the degree of response to a threat should be commensurate with its severity. For example, if you fire a pistol or stab an unarmed person attacking you, according to the law (and in terms of morality in most cases) you will be guilty, because. exceed the limits of necessary defense. Accordingly, the choice of means of self-defense is determined by the level of threat. But in any case, a person has every right to have a means of self-defense; the main thing is that it be legal.

Items used for self-defense situationally

This category includes almost all objects (bottles, axes, shovels, crowbars, etc.), which, in theory, can harm human health. You do not need to obtain any permission to use these tools. The main problem here is the non-selectivity of their impact, because a blow with a crowbar or an ax butt can lead to the death of a person, and this, in turn, will be recognized in most cases as exceeding the limits of self-defense and will entail criminal punishment.

Special self-defense equipment, the acquisition and use of which does not require permits

The advantage of such means is the optimal combination of impact force, which will definitely stop the enemy, and non-lethal impact. This category includes stun guns, gas cartridges, aerosol and pneumatic pistols and others. It is almost impossible to kill or seriously injure by any of these means, except when people shoot at the eyes or temples, use them at close range, or overzealous, "knocking out" the enemy that there is strength. It is these means of self-defense that are considered the most optimal when it comes to physical and legally impeccable protection.

Firearms and cold steel

These are means, the use of which with a huge degree of probability can lead to a fatal outcome, which is almost always an excess of the limits of necessary defense. The possession of such funds not only requires special permission, but they can only be used in two cases: if there is a real threat to human life and if this threat cannot be eliminated by any other means.

It is important to say here that if thieves got into your house, you, taking precautions and warning them of your possible actions, can use firearms or edged weapons. But it must be borne in mind that judicial practice shows that even in such situations, the defender can be held criminally liable if it is impossible to prove the wrongful actions of the attackers after the fact.

And one more nuance: even if the use of the weapon in question by the defender was justified, but he did not have the official right to keep and use it, he will be held accountable.

IMPORTANT ADDITION: There is another category of weapons - these are weapons that are prohibited and do not belong to the field of self-defense. This includes a variety of homemade finks, brass knuckles and pistols, flamberge swords, weapons with automatic fire (assault rifles, submachine guns), expansive bullets, napalm, anti-personnel mines, cluster munitions, biological, climatic, laser, chemical and nuclear weapons, etc. .d. and so on. Naturally, in the lesson we will not consider these types of weapons.

Based on the foregoing, the safest means of self-defense can be called those that do not involve a lethal effect. With the help of them it is easy to stop the criminal without worrying about the legality of their actions. Therefore, they should be considered in more detail.

Types of self-defense means

gas pistols

One of the most widely used self defense tools. Its advantages include an impressive appearance (reminiscent of a real "barrel"), tangible weight and the fact that they can just be hit properly, i.e. "knock out" a person without even shooting him.

But this type of weapon also has disadvantages. Firstly, this is its price - a high-quality gas pistol is not cheap. Secondly, to buy, you need to get permission from the police, and this procedure is not quick and rather red tape, plus it also costs money (note that buying a gas pistol without a permit entails administrative liability, which means confiscation of self-defense equipment and a fine). And, thirdly, the range of a standard gas pistol is from 3 to 5 meters, and if suddenly a strong wind blows between you and the attacker, the weapon will not have the expected effect (it may even produce the opposite effect).

In addition, the gas “barrel” cannot be used in a confined space, for example, on a landing, in an elevator or a car interior - the gas will fall not only on the offender, but also on the one who uses the weapon. And another potential danger is that a criminal can take a pistol for a combat one: if the villain turns out to be an ordinary gopnik, he will simply run away, and if he is a hardened recidivist, and even armed, the sight of a pistol can provoke him to use a knife or his pistol, though no longer gas.

Traumatic pistols

Traumatic pistols in our country are allowed to be used only with rubber bullets and, again, only with permission. Obtaining such weapons is more difficult than the previous one: for the most part, they are allowed to be carried by police officers, court and prosecutors, lawyers conducting serious proceedings, less often - by journalists, employees of the control and auditing and tax services, fisheries and other organizations.

You can buy "injury" from the hands of people who specialize in the illegal sale of such products, but this is fraught with fines and administrative liability. If the “barrel” is remade for combat, criminal liability is provided for this. In short, a traumatic pistol is, of course, good, because. extremely effective, knocking down the enemy and can be used in any conditions, but it is very difficult to become its owner.

Pneumatic guns

"Pneumatics" are available for sale in any store selling equipment, fishing and military equipment and ammunition, self-defense equipment, etc. Anyone can buy such a gun. The only condition is the restriction on the caliber of the bullet and the speed of its flight: the caliber must be no more than 4.5 mm, and the speed of the bullet must not exceed 100 m / s (if these conditions are violated, the owner bears administrative responsibility, which means that the weapon will be confiscated and fine).

The advantage of such a pistol is that from afar or in the dark it can be mistaken for a combat one (but sometimes this is a minus, as is the case with a gas pistol). However, this is where its advantages end, because. it is ineffective. He will not cause serious damage to the enemy (if you do not shoot at the eyes, temples and other particularly sensitive places, for which they can be held criminally liable). The bullet (small steel ball) is not capable of penetrating thick clothes and even thick skin. It is easy to defend against a shot by simply stretching your arms in front of you.

If an amateur or youngster is attacking, the sight of an air pistol may frighten him, but if you are dealing with a serious criminal, the best thing you can do with this weapon is to hit the handle, throw it in the face and take off running. So decide for yourself: is it worth buying this item. However, it can serve as a good toy - in the company it's fun to shoot at tins, poltorashki and glass bottles.

Traumatic weapon

Traumatic can be not only pistols, but also other objects. One of the most popular devices is the Osa complex. It consists of a barrelless pistol and special cartridges that have a traumatic, light and sound, lighting or signal effect.

The force with which the "Wasp" shoots, for example, with a rubber bullet, is 120 J, but after 10 meters it drops to 70 J. However, this is more than enough for the villain to "get lost" for some time. If you shoot at close range, a person can be maimed, so you need to use the Wasp very carefully.

Such a weapon is compact, which allows you to carry it in a waist or even a lady's purse or pocket. It is useful to have it, but again you need to get permission. In addition, you will have to pay a lot of money for the purchase. If all this is solvable for you, then the Wasp can be a great choice.

Aerosol guns

Aerosol guns- this is a kind of intermediate link between gas pistols and spray cans. A good example is the "UDAR" (metered aerosol spray device), into which a BAM (small-sized aerosol can) is inserted. The pistol magazine holds up to five BAMs containing pepper mixture, and the impact distance can be up to 4 meters.

Due to its composition, the jet, hitting the enemy's face, instantly puts him out of action for a period of 10 to 30 minutes, causing sharp irritation of the mucous membranes and severe pain. The weapon is effective both in open space and in a closed one, because. the jet is not sprayed, but directed in a concentrated manner.

The advantages of an aerosol gun include the low cost of the gun itself and cans, as well as the fact that it does not require a special permit and it is impossible for them to kill a person. In general, it is a good and effective thing that can help in a difficult situation.

Gas cartridges

Initially - when gas cartridges first appeared - they gained great popularity and were in great demand. However, over time, manufacturers for some reason reduced the concentration of damaging substances, and today, to be completely honest, this self-defense tool has become an almost useless thing that inspires its owners with the illusion of safety.

Cans are effective at a distance of no more than 1.5 meters. The wind easily redirects the gas flow in any direction. With rare use, the damaging substance in the cylinder becomes caked, which is why the cylinder must be shaken before use, and the criminal certainly will not wait until you do it.

Most cans can be used continuously for a maximum of 10 seconds. This weapon should not be used indoors and in confined spaces. In addition, if the villain is drunk or stoned, he may not feel the effects of the substance at all. In other words, this means of self-defense is ineffective, but it costs mere pennies.

In principle, you can purchase a gas cartridge, knowing in advance about its shortcomings. But when buying, you should study several options, consult a consultant, look at certificates, etc. You also need to be sure that the mixture contained in the cylinder will not deprive a person of his sight, otherwise you can seriously “hit” - such is our state with you: they attacked a person and wanted to cripple, but he fought back, but turned out to be guilty and went to jail, but the criminal also filed a lawsuit and won the case - the height of logic and the limit of concern for respectable citizens!

Tasers

Tasers, contrary to popular belief, can be freely bought and used for self-defense by citizens of the Russian Federation who have reached the age of majority. Those. no certificates and permits for the purchase of such a device do not need to be issued.

"Shockers", as the name implies, beat the villain with a solid discharge of current. With quick contact, they have a knockback effect, and with longer contact, they disorientate and deprive the attacker of any ability to perform conscious actions.

Despite the effectiveness of stun guns, they have several significant disadvantages: they may not work through clothes, especially in winter, when people wear sweaters and warm jackets, which means you need to manage to get to an open place on the enemy’s body. And the "shockers" work from batteries, which do not always remain operational, especially in cold, hot weather and with long periods of inactivity. So, trying to shock the villain with a current, you can get a more powerful blow to the jaw.

However, the shortcomings of the presented means of self-defense do not frighten people, and therefore the demand for them is great. Today you can find a variety of stun guns: from classic options to disguised as pens, phones, lighters, flashlights, etc. They are inexpensive, and, by and large, it is quite good to acquire such an item for your protection.

Knives

Knives are the most massive and cheapest type of weapon, the most accessible and dangerous. But using a knife is a delicate matter, and before buying it for self-defense, you need to think a hundred times how you will use it, and whether you will do it at all. Remember that an attempt on the life of a person, even a criminal, is a criminal offense. And the use of a knife is associated with the maximum risk to life, including your own.

In addition, the law prohibits the use of knives against people and even carrying them with you. Of course, we are not talking about penknives, but about hunting, combat and other types of knives. Not every knife can be classified as a melee weapon.

Be that as it may, many people have pocket, penknife or poke knives with them: in which case you can cut food, cut off a piece of fabric, unscrew the bolt, and stand up for yourself, of course. True, with a threat, you should understand that the knife can be taken away and used against you, and if you cripple or kill a person, from a victim you will instantly become a criminal who will be convicted to the fullest extent of the law.

Let's summarize: the advantages of knives are their effectiveness and ability to incapacitate the enemy, relative cheapness and legality. The disadvantages are the risk of causing serious harm, incurring criminal liability. Yes, and you need to be able to wield a knife, otherwise you can do such things that later you will have to regret and repent all your life. talking in simple words: let the knife be for cutting sausages, but for self-defense it is better not to use this type of weapon.

Brass knuckles

Brass knuckles, like other items of crushing-impact and throwing effects, are prohibited by law, but due to their popularity, we will still say a few words about them. The little thing is quite curious, but very, very dangerous. If suddenly you have a brass knuckles bought or made by yourself, it (like a knife) should be the last thing you think of turning to in a fight or other extreme situation.

Wielding with brass knuckles, you can not only crush the face of the enemy to smithereens, but also kill him. And here already no lawyers will help. Of course, if the situation is such that either you or the villain, and nothing else, brass knuckles will help to defeat the scoundrel and defend yourself, but you need to be prepared that you will have to answer for your actions.

Plastic undercastet

Plastic undercasters are also called stingers, skull brass knuckles, dog brass knuckles, cat brass knuckles, etc. depending on the type. These devices are quite legal and in everyday life serve as key rings. If an extreme situation arises, the fingers are sent to the keychain in the "eyes", which makes it a good weapon.

A significant advantage of the undercastet is that they cannot be seriously injured, but thanks to their “ears” it enhances the punch. Given that such items are made of plastic, metal detectors will not detect them, which means that you can carry them with you almost everywhere.

Any such key rings are inexpensive, fit in your pocket and do not require any permits. They can be attached to keys or a belt. But it’s not worth talking about great efficiency here, because. after all, this is not a professional means of self-defense, but for the most part an accessory from the category of “just in case”.

Kubotany

Kubotan- This is a self-defense tool created in Japan, but adopted by the police in many countries around the world. In its appearance, the kubotan resembles a harmless keychain, but in skillful hands it turns into the most effective poke weapon and a means for grabbing and wringing the attacker's hands and arms.

An analogue of kubotan is yawara - a similar object, only with pointed ends for even more painful blows. In close combat, kubotan and yawara will not replace, perhaps, nothing - it is even worth poke this weapon somewhere in the ribs or neck, and the enemy will no longer have any desire to mess with you.

A lot of tricks and techniques for working with kubotan and javara can be found on the Internet. The cost of weapons is very small, no permission to carry is required. Even at the airport, these items will be allowed on the plane. It is quite suitable for a student, for a girl, for a motorist.

Expandable batons

Telescopic baton- this is a very interesting thing: when folded, it fits in the palm of your hand, pocket or handbag, and if necessary, it can turn into a serious weapon in the blink of an eye, which can easily inflict severe injuries on the offender.

It is because of its health hazard that the expandable baton is classified by many experts as edged weapons and special equipment. In Russia, only law enforcement officers have the right to have and use this means of self-defense. Permissions for the use of such batons by ordinary citizens are not provided by law.

Buying a club is also unlikely to succeed, but many craftsmen manage to make them on their own. This is done very simply - you just need to have several metal pipes of different diameters and a lathe for turning parts. In combat, the expandable baton is extremely effective, but you can use it only at your own peril and risk.

Deterrent devices

The category of deterrent devices includes all kinds of devices such as sirens and personal alarms. When used, they emit a strong screech and whistle, which is supposed to scare off the attacker and put him to flight. The cost of any repellent devices is quite low, they can easily fit even in the smallest pockets. But there is no need to talk about high efficiency either - they will, of course, frighten off a dog or a kindergartener, but they will only make a more or less serious opponent laugh (although, if, this can help you get out of problems).

dummies

Models of knives and pistols can be called a means of self-defense only nominally. At night, a lighter made under the “barrel” may have the desired effect on the mind of a pretty drunk gopnik. But in the event of a real threat, the use of such a tool will look like baby talk, because. It's hard to do any damage to them.

In addition, there is an effect similar to what we described when talking about gas pistols. At the sight of a “wave” or “pen”, the criminal (after all, he may not know that a dummy is in the hands of the victim) can proceed to more decisive actions, and he will have to “resolve” something that could have been avoided altogether.

If you don’t have the money or the desire to purchase a real self-defense tool, you can throw a dummy weapon into your purse or pocket. In all other cases, it is better to get something more serious.

improvised means

improvised means- these are any things and objects that you can use to protect yourself in case of an attack on you. If there is no specialized tool, a heavy bag, umbrella, deodorant, brick, bottle, chair, table, potato, apple, glass and any other object in your field of vision that you can throw, hit, splash in the face etc. But remember that you should not be too zealous, because the degree of your defense should be commensurate with the degree of threat.

So, we have considered most of the available self-defense tools. As you can see for yourself, the choice is not bad. You just have to choose what you like and suits you. And here are some suggestions on the subject:

• If you often have to walk along dark alleys, it is better to choose a stun gun or "Wasp"
• If you like to run in the parks, you can pick up a special gas cartridge for athletes - small and conveniently attached to your arm, or a personal alarm
• If you live in a disadvantaged area and a ride in an elevator is a new “extreme” for you every time, it’s better to have a stun gun, pepper gel spray or aerosol gun, kubotan or yawara
• If you often walk with your child and are afraid for his safety, arm him with a personal alarm device.
• If you are afraid of dogs, an ultrasonic repeller is a great option.
• If you often go out into the countryside and like to set up camp and sit by the fire at night, the Wasp and several sets of different cartridges for it will always help you
• If you are confident in your reaction and quick actions, feel free to purchase a stun gun, kubotan or yawara
• If you're a squishy, ​​can't hit a person hard, or just , get an undercastet, aerosol gun, or stun gun
• If you are a motorist and often drive a car, throw a gas canister or a “choker” into the glove box or armrest, keep a heavy baton or mount in the trunk, and hang a key fob with a personal alarm on your keys (by the way, transport in the car, as well as have , only means of self-defense permitted by law and with a permit, if required)

Note that these are just general tips and, in fact, any option is suitable for men, girls, students, pensioners, motorists, etc. But remember: whatever you choose, you need to use it wisely and only in case of emergency - when there is a real threat to the life and health of you or your loved ones.

A lot has been said about the effectiveness and benefits of self-defense means, but there are often situations when you simply don’t have anything like that (or don’t have it at all), and you have to rely only on your own strength. If you are a master of sports in boxing or kickboxing, a champion in sambo or mixed martial arts, your chances of picking the bad guys are high. But if you lead a lifestyle that is completely far from it, everything becomes much more complicated.

However, it is not at all necessary to become a professional fighter in order to "knock out" the attacker or just hurt him so that he falls behind. It is enough to know a few effective self-defense techniques. Of course, we do not say that knowing how to unscrew the brush, you will emerge victorious from any fight, but it is still better to be able to do it than not to be able to.

In the next lesson, you will get acquainted with the features of self-defense on the street and in a confined space, the most effective strikes, some defense and attack techniques, pain points and methods of influencing them. You will also learn how to free yourself from capture and suffocation, what to do if you were grabbed by your clothes or by the neck, what to do if you were grabbed from behind, how to behave if they want to hit you with a fist, knife or club. In addition, we will give a set of recommendations and techniques for the fair sex. Knowing how to carry out a couple of tricks, and even having a means of self-defense with you, you will become a person with whom few people want to sort things out.

Everyone is well aware that no one can give guarantees of complete security. No matter how good our militia may be, we cannot say with full confidence that in the event of an attack on us by aggressive people, someone will protect us. There are times when you can only rely on yourself. The task is not easy, because there are several attackers, and even with weapons in their hands. At such moments, your own dexterity, ingenuity and ... means that will help you with this can serve as salvation. The main task is to get out of this situation as soon as possible, and not to teach the attackers a lesson. Therefore, self-defense means will be needed that can unbalance the attackers for some time so that there is an opportunity to leave a dangerous situation. Consider possible means of self-defense.

gas spray

2

According to statistics, this self-defense weapon is the most common and 5% of the people surveyed chose it. Such a high distribution of gas cartridges was due to the low price and small dimensions. This remedy is based on a special irritating substance, which, if it enters the eyes or upper respiratory tract, causes increased lacrimation, sharp pain, and an acute cough in the attacker. In this scenario, the person who was planned to be attacked is given additional time during which he can retire on his own business or call the police. Despite the low cost and fairly good efficiency, gas cartridges have some disadvantages. So for effective self-defense, you need to at least get an aerosol jet right in the face of the attacker. In addition, the impact distance is usually at a distance of no more than 2 m, so to repel the attacker's attack, it will be passed close enough.

UM control (manufacturer Tyumen aerosols))

KO (FOG and JET)
Pepper Jet (manufacturer Tekhkrim
New Russian Protection (manufacturer Tekhkrim)

Gas cylinders, the purchase of which is NOT RECOMMENDED
Shock - Unreliable valve (may leak or bleed), low efficiency.

3

Small range of application.
Reflex - Ineffective composition..
Cobra- Ineffective composition..
Scorpio is a lower concentration than in OP and KO. Outdated balloon.

UDAR device

4

This device is a mechanical device for firing liquid formulations (pepper, synthetic pepper, pepper with paint, etc.) and the use of some pyrotechnic BAMs. disposable cartridges with expelling composition on the one hand and "striking" on the other, the actual cartridges but without gunpowder .. The advantages include ease of use and the possibility of aimed shooting, as well as the fact that the device can be equipped with a large assortment of "ammunition" ..

There are quite a few manufacturers of BAMs for Impact, but the most effective are BAMs manufactured in Shikhany with CR substance..

Advantages
+ Range and accuracy of application (up to 3-4 meters)
+ A wide range of BAMs: pyrotechnic, with MPC, with natural pepper, with CR, with paint..
+No license required to purchase.
+ Efficiency (especially with Shihana's BAMs)
+ Purely mechanical principle of operation. Shot and ejection are made in one movement.
+In case of a misfire, just press the lever again to fire the next BAM..
+ There is a fuse (I personally did not use it).
+Does no physical damage

Flaws
- The price of the device with BAMs is 900 (approximately) rubles.
-You can use your hand to close yourself from a shot from the Strike, so you need to use it as unexpectedly and quickly as possible.
-Problem with buying normal BAMs in some cities..
-The blow is larger than a spray can and is a little more problematic to wear. However, there are holsters to carry..

Tasers

At first glance, a very useful thing. But in reality, it turns out that the stun gun is not effective for self-defense. There are many reasons. Home - in Russia it is forbidden to produce stun guns more powerful than 3 watts. Such power is not enough to effectively counteract the intruder. Another disadvantage is that in order to use the electric shock, you need to be close to the enemy, and this is not always safe. If the criminal has a knife, the consequences can be sad. But there are times when electric shock saves, however, it is very likely that it will not help, so you should buy a stun gun only when absolutely necessary.

gas pistols

Quite an ambiguous weapon of self-defense. The principle of operation of a gas pistol is comparable to the operation of a gas cartridge. However, the spray can is much cheaper, and easier to maintain. The only advantage of a gas pistol is that it can be used to put psychological pressure on the criminal, because. the gun looks like a combat one. However, whether this is an advantage is not clear. Seeing a gun, the criminal can take rash actions, including in your direction. Therefore, the use of a gas pistol is doubtful.

Traumatic pistols

Traumatic weapons are pistols and revolvers for firing both rubber bullets and gas. Unlike gas pistols, traumatic pistols inflict mechanical damage with bullets.
A list of pistols and revolvers that are by far the best of all available ..

T-10

10

The T-10 pistol can be called the best traumatic pistol on the market. Moreover, this is the only pistol that was developed taking into account the wishes of users of traumatic weapons, including participants in this forum. The use of high-strength materials and thoughtful design allow the pistol to use the most powerful 10x22 caliber cartridges available in stores. The thick steel barrel does not allow blowouts and cracks, as on some other types of traumatic weapons.

Advantages:
+ High build quality, reliability, durability and long life of the entire gun.
+ Ability to install a flashlight and LCC, reflective front sight.
+ Good ergonomics
+ High precision
+ Designed for powerful cartridges manufactured by AKBS
+ Efficiency (maximum allowed in its class)

Flaws:
1 The size of the pistol is not less than that of the PM, and therefore it is not.
2 Requires some fine-tuning of the store.

Warrior

11

"GSV" is a revolver developed on the basis of the "Udar" combat revolver. It differs from the latter in a modified caliber, material of manufacture and the presence of protrusions in the barrel.
The (undoubted) advantages of this weapon include normal primer ignition and high reliability .. In addition, the revolver, despite its impressive dimensions, is quite compact and easy to carry .. The Warrior is made of high-strength aluminum alloy by milling, which makes it very durable and at the same time light .. Ratnik's cartridges are double-bullet with the weight of each bullet 2.1-2.8 grams. The bullets are made of rubber with the addition of metal powder .. In terms of penetration through soft tissues and materials (down jackets, clothes, meat, paper), the Warrior is at least as good as the Osa (however, it will not penetrate the boar. For solid materials (metal), the OCA is the leader, or rather the cartridge 18x45 .. The disadvantage of the Warrior is that due to the diagonal protrusions in the barrel, he hits noticeably to the right, which, however, is completely compensated with a displaced slot and training, although I would like the protrusions to be straight .. At the moment, a version of the revolver chambered for 410 (short sleeve) is expected to be on sale )

Advantages
+ Reliability (capsule ignition, mechanics)
+ Efficiency (maximum under current laws)
+ Light weight (500 grams)
+ Two-bullet cartridge (I strongly recommend buying cartridges only in a STEEL sleeve!)
+ Bullet (each) weighing up to 2.8 grams
+ Durability (very strong alloy frame and drum and steel triggers and pins)

Flaws
- Shoots noticeably to the right of the aiming point. (Fixed with training)
- The price has increased from 9 to 25 (in some stores) thousand rubles.

MR 79-9T

12

MP 79-9T is a gas-powered pistol based on the design of the IZH 79-8 pistol, which in turn was created on the basis of the 6P42 pistol, which was made from a Makarov combat pistol .. Uses 9RA cartridges with classic primer ignition. The MP 79-9T magazine contains 8 rounds and one more cartridge can be kept in the chamber (allowed by law). The main advantages of the MP 79-9T can be considered multi-charge and the absence of brittle alloys in the design.
When the magazine is used up, the pistol can be used as a very effective "percussion tool". In the event of a real attack, however, no one forbids shooting at the head or knees .. In addition, the external similarity of the MP 79-9T with the Makarov pistol can be called a positive aspect (especially when the original PM textolite handle is installed on it). One kind of a pistol similar to Makarov can scare away (they will think that it is a policeman or a bandit), but this can only be counted on !! if there is an appropriate appearance(they will not believe a glamorous young man) and psychological attitude (do not speak in falsetto).

Advantages
+ Reliability (steel after all constructive)
+ Appearance is similar to PM
+ The ability to strike like a hammer (0.7 iron with sharp corners is a weighty argument)
+ Capsule ignition.
+ Multicharge (9 or 11)
++ Maintainability (not just a lot of spare parts, but a lot)

Flaws

-Low quality of fitting parts (it will shoot at anyone, but you should definitely look and choose when buying)

MR 78-9T

The MP 78-9T pistol is the flattest traumatic pistol in existence, its design is based on the PSM pistol developed at one time for special services. The pistol is made entirely of gun-grade steel and, like the MAK, can be used for hand-to-hand combat when the ammunition is used up. Cartridges 9RA up to 50J. The disadvantage is a weak barrel to strengthen which is structurally impossible.

Advantages
+ compact and easy to carry (probably the most comfortable of all pistols)
+ production material - steel
+ good accuracy
+ High build quality
+ Good accuracy

Flaws
- there used to be problems with cracking barrels even on standard cartridges, now this doesn’t seem to happen.
-Low power and efficiency when shooting in the torso (there's nothing to be done restrictions apply).
- in the basic version of delivery, a relatively small magazine capacity - 6 rounds. But you can buy the necessary parts and increase it to 8. Plus one cartridge in the chamber.
- Not everyone is comfortable to hold in their hand, even with a "long" magazine heel
- a very tight return spring, it is difficult to distort the shutter, especially in a stressful situation. Women may have problems with this.

Storm

14

The Thunderstorm pistol, like the Makarych, is gas-powered with the possibility of a pistol and uses the same cartridges. The prototype is a very famous Ukrainian pistol Fort. It differs from the Fort by the presence of teeth in the barrel to comply with the criteria .. A big plus of the Thunderstorm is a thick barrel and a modern appearance, in addition, the Thunderstorm is distinguished by a large magazine capacity (almost 2 times more than that of the MP) .. Thunderstorm is produced with two types of frame : steel or polymer .. The disadvantage of the Thunderstorm is a somewhat large size in comparison with Makarych .. There are no spare parts for it though (however, it doesn’t seem to break)

Advantages
++ Thick barrel.
+ Modern look.
++ Multicharge.
+ Good quality manufacturing

Flaws
- Slightly larger than MP.

Streamer 1014/2014

Produced in Turkey for Russian market, was originally created as a traumatic weapon and does not have a combat prototype. It is very compact and convenient, made of zinc-aluminum-magnesium alloy, has a high resource and endurance of the structure, the magazine capacity is 14 rounds.

Pluses - compactness, the ability to fire powerful ammunition, a guaranteed resource - 3000 shots.

Cons - manufacturing material - alloy, dropping the gun on hard surfaces is not recommended.

Here is the aftermath of a Streamer pistol shot from 6 meters through tight jeans.

Revolvers

Revolver LOM 13

Today's only super-compact steel (slightly more than full) revolver chambered for 9 RA. The advantages include, first of all, the workmanship and compactness (almost the maximum for a revolver), as well as the ergonomic handle and the ability to reload the revolver with the help of clips. Also, the revolver has a special fuse (such as a secret).

17

Advantages
++ All steel (stainless steel option also available)
++ Compact
+ Ergonomic
+ the presence of "clip" for quick reloading
+ caliber 9 RA (any cartridge 9RA allowed for sale in the Russian Federation)

Revolvers Thunderstorm

Thunderstorm revolvers are made of high-quality steel and, in addition to a pleasant appearance and a comfortable handle, they show very good power (there are fewer protrusions in the barrel). The cylinder of the Thunderstorm revolver includes 6 cartridges (cartridges of any manufacturer, including "magnum" are suitable) 9RA, which can be replaced all at once using a "clip". they are all steel construction and are marked C (steel).others have a frame made of durable material (but lighter) and a slightly different handle.the length of the barrels of revolvers varies in length.the shortest model has a 2" barrel, the longest one (a real monster) has a 6 inch barrel and excellent accuracy due to the long barrel.

18

Advantages
+ high quality steel construction
+ 6 ammo
+ caliber 9PA (you can use ANY 9PA cartridges sold in stores.
+ good power and accuracy

-Walther RR, R22T, R99- Extremely low structural strength, falling apart simply into pieces even from weak cartridges. The weapon is made of a fragile powder composite and does not withstand any loads. The main parts are not repairable..
-Iceberg- Low-grade fragile material of manufacture. Rough ill-conceived and fragile design. Trash..
- Wasp Aegis-Insufficient reliability and strength .. (although the manufacturer seems to be solving this problem). Overpriced.
-Gadfly- The same as Iceberg in terms of quality, except that it is a little better .. You should not buy everything alone ..
-Hornet- Stronger than all of the above, but since there are much better weapons, you should not buy them.
- Mauser HSC- A fragile pistol made of powder composite .. Inconvenient and unreliable ..
Everything good that is written about him in magazine advertising is a blatant lie ..
-Rek Cobra- Brittle alloy, negligible resource. We do not repair.
-Kimar("pseudo Beretta")-Very fragile pistol, extremely unreliable and non-repairable.. Doesn't fire 50J ammo.
-Still- Brittle alloy, designed for weak cartridges. Almost beyond repair.

Barrelless firearms

Guard

20

The barrelless firearm pistol Guard is an independent development of IzhMekh gunsmiths. It uses 18X45 cartridges with electric ignition manufactured (and developed) by NOT and NIIPKh. The positive qualities of the Guard include extremely low weight (200 grams) and maximum reliability and durability for weapons with electric ignition.
The guard has a fuse in the release key and a system test button (it will not save you from a buggy cartridge). In addition, it uses more current to ignite than the OSA, which increases the chances of triggering. The guard has no wires and loops, which also increases its practical reliability.

Currently, a modification of the Guard with a laser pointer has appeared on sale.

Advantages
++Light weight, compact.
+ Ability to use the entire range of 18x45 and 15x45 ammunition from NOT, NIIPKh, AKBS, A+A..
++ The only derringer (double-barreled pistol) that you can buy today without fear that it will fall apart.
+ Has a fuse (I personally do not use it, but let it be)

Flaws
-Total 2 rounds
- Electric ignition

OSA pistols

21

Pistols of the OSA family and 18x45 cartridges are a unique development of NIIPKh and NOT and are barrelless (the role of the barrel is performed by the cartridge itself) firearms of 18x45 caliber. The indisputable advantages of the cartridge are the presence of a steel core inside the rubber bullet and the weight of the bullet itself (11.2 grams), as well as the large (largest in the Russian Federation) caliber (diameter) of the bullet 18mm. In addition to traumatic ammunition, the OSA can use signal and lighting cartridges (an alternative to a rocket launcher) and light and sound, as well as ammunition with MPK from AKBS (buying these ammunition
be sure to seal the cap with varnish around the edges).

From traumatic ammunition, it is preferable to buy A + A or HOT cartridges rather than Niiph, since A + A and HOT cartridges are more powerful ..

22

The disadvantages of the complex as a whole are:
Use of electrical ignition without adequate system reliability (especially in newer models). Workmanship issues on newer models.
Misfires and failure of the system as a whole are possible for various reasons .... The most reliable pistols of this family at the moment are OSA PB-4m (very reliable design), OSA 4-1 laser, OSA ML .. Osa Egida (Not I recommend anyone to buy this sample).

Advantages of OSA 4-1 Laser OSA ML and OSA 4m (without laser)
+ Light weight
++ Ability to use various ammunition (trauma, signal, light and sound)
++ The maximum caliber for traumatics today.
Bullets with a metal core and a weight of 11 grams
The presence of a laser in 4-1 and ML
+ The 4m handle is smaller than the 4-1 and due to this it is more compact but sits a little worse in the hand.
+ Good after-sales service.

Advantages of OCA Aegis
+ very light weight
+ Compactness (maximum at the moment)
+ the presence of LCC
+ Presence of a fuse
+ Good after-sales service
+ Modern design

23

- Disadvantages of OSA 4-1 Laser OSA ML and OSA 4m
- Problems with the reliability of the complex as a whole. (it must be admitted that sometimes the cause is the human factor)
-No fuse
-Total 4 rounds.. (no warning shots or misses)..

Disadvantages of OCA Aegis
- Inconvenient design of the release key. Due to compactness, they lost a lot in convenience.
- Price (in regions up to 9000 rubles)
- Serious reliability issues.

Here are x-rays of people after they were shot with the Wasp.

Tests of the wasp rubber bullet, leader (TT), Saiga 410 carbine and Lynx 12 gauge pump - on a person.

A little humor and a little left. As a joke, it is dedicated to the inferior offspring of Izhmekh.

Knives

The use of knives for self-defense should be considered as an extreme measure, since both the police (and the police) and judges really do not like people with knives, and cases of self-defense with a knife are even more so .. A knife is generally associated in the understanding of many as something obviously criminal ..
Therefore, you can use a knife only in case of a real threat to life and health .. When there is no way out ..

Knife choice for SELF DEFENSE (remember a knife is a last resort)
The most important thing is when buying a knife to make sure that it is not a melee weapon.
For knives that are sold in stores, you must (require!) A certificate confirming that they are not edged weapons. another knife). Laminate the certificate and ALWAYS carry with you:

Puig-daggers and not only from Viking Norway. They cost a penny, but at the same time it has a certificate that they are furrier's knives (really funny). And don't mind throwing it away.

Professional advice is available.

Smooth-bore long-barreled weapon

In order to understand what it is, it is enough to recall the end of the movie? Terminator 2?, where Sarah Connor shoots the evil T-1000 robot with a pump-action shotgun. We must immediately warn that this type of weapon is suitable for self-defense only in very rare cases: you can imagine what will happen to the attacked person, even if he is hit by a traumatic bullet from a standard distance for self-defense of 3-5 m. Therefore, you can use such weapons only in cases of immediate threat to life, which then have to be proven.
Despite high efficiency, this type of weapon has a lot of disadvantages. One of the main drawbacks lies in the word "long-barreled"?. This is not at all 20 cm or 30 cm, but a weapon with a barrel length of at least 80 cm. Therefore, no combat pistols and revolvers? it is prohibited by law. Among other things, with such a gun it is not at all allowed to walk around the dark nooks and crannies. Firearms must be transported unloaded and folded. Therefore, the real place of self-defense is only one's own house, where a person may have time to get a weapon from the safe and bring it into a combat position. As in the previous type of weapon, here again it is necessary to obtain a license for storage. In order to have the right to carry, you must also obtain a hunting license.

Choice of caliber

Theoretically, it is believed that in order to inflict mortal damage on a person, a wounding projectile must have an energy of at least 80 J. A bullet, even the weakest of hunting calibers? 410th? has an energy of about 1,000 J. For the 20th, this value will be about 2,000 J. And for the most common 12th, the muzzle energy can exceed 3,000, and for the Magnum version - even 4,000 J, exceeding the required level by 50 times! The deciding factor is always your weapon skills. And yet ... There are some subtleties in the choice of caliber.

The reason for the unexpected popularity of this, in principle, not popular in the world, caliber, no doubt, was the self-loading carbine "Saiga-410" released for sale a few years ago. The presence of this relatively cheap and reliable weapon is the main argument in favor of the 410th. A used Saiga-410 can be purchased for 1,000 rubles, or even cheaper. The second significant argument in favor of the 410th is a weak return, which is very important if the possibility of using a weapon by a woman is meant.

All other features of this caliber can only be characterized not in its favor. This is the high cost of cartridges, low striking capabilities of buckshot and the almost complete absence of a high-quality factory bullet shot.

The recoil on the 20th is only slightly inferior to the recoil on the 12th, and so for most women I would find it uncomfortable. For a man, in my opinion, the choice of the 20th is difficult to explain, since in terms of controllability of rapid fire, the 20th practically does not differ from the 12th, noticeably inferior to the latter in striking capabilities.

Undoubtedly the best choice. Ammo for every taste. From cheap 5-ruble? Nitrogen? to ?Dynamite Nobel?. The cartridge assumes equipment with buckshot of any size, which is especially important for self-defense. The presence on sale of bullet shots of the highest quality from foreign manufacturers is a very serious argument in favor of the 12 gauge. When buying a gun, should I consider the length of the chamber? 70 mm or 76 mm. In the latter case, the gun is designed for the use of cartridges? Magnum?.

Weapon choice

Single-shot weapons of any systems and designs are absolutely not suitable for the needs of self-defense. According to the Weapons Act, the first shot of the defending side must be fired into the air. Of course, "for lack of fish and cancer?" fish?, and if you already have a single-shot gun, in a pinch it will fit. A double-barreled shotgun will only give you one chance more than the previous option.

You should not stop your choice on magazine shotguns with a longitudinally sliding bolt action. No matter how skillfully you wield this type of weapon, in terms of practical rate of fire, any bolt gun is noticeably inferior to a pump, and even more so to a semiautomatic device.

pump action shotgun? quite a traditional and largely justified choice. Positive properties - large (up to 8 rounds) magazine capacity, relative compactness, undemanding quality and power of cartridges, the possibility of tactical recharging. The pump is the undisputed leader in the speed of the first shot from the "weapon completely unloaded" position. The disadvantages are still a lower rate of fire compared to a semi-automatic and a longer period for developing a stable skill in handling the pump-action reload mechanism.

semi-automatic weapons- undoubtedly the fastest-firing weapon on the civilian weapons market. Disadvantages - sensitivity to the quality of cartridges, their power, as well as eternal problems with the procedure for changing magazines (if we are talking about carbines like? Saiga?). Imported machines? Benelli?,? Franchi?, of course, are good, but because of the high cost, not everyone can afford such weapons. Domestic semiautomatic devices (MTs-21-12) are inconvenient for self-defense because of their hefty, purely hunting dimensions and a 70-mm chamber.

In terms of price-quality ratio, semiautomatic devices? Saiga? practically have no competitors either among domestic or foreign weapons.

Tactical capabilities of smoothbore weapons

When firing at a short distance, a self-loading smoothbore carbine is a truly formidable weapon. Perhaps, such a thesis will seem seditious to someone, but in terms of combat effectiveness, a shotgun, if not superior, then not inferior to a submachine gun. In this case, the use of the word? combat? absolutely justified, and it is not for nothing that smooth-bore guns are necessarily included in the set of weapons of all kinds of assault groups and special forces.

Studies of the mechanism of the damaging effect of bullets indicate that a 6-11 mm caliber bullet is physically unable to transfer more than 700-750 J to body tissues.

The bullets of any army long-barreled weapon have an energy much greater than the 700 J mentioned above. At a short distance, it would be very reasonable to distribute the energy of 3500 J to 9-15 independent lethal elements. This is exactly what we have in the 12-gauge shot. Depending on the situation, it may be more appropriate to have both large quantity damaging elements? large fraction.

A shot with a shot (buckshot) allows a noticeably greater aiming error than a shot with a bullet. Hence the gain in speed. This advantage is even more noticeable when shooting at moving targets.

Now from the general reasoning, let's turn to the practical side? what should your cartridges be equipped with? defensive? shop.

Small shot (?5-10)

It makes sense to equip the very first cartridge with it, the purpose of which will be? the same statutory warning shot. Actually, the purpose of a warning shot is to prevent further development of the conflict, so it is very reasonable to take measures to minimize the consequences of ricochets in case of shooting in confined spaces. At extremely short (0-3 m) distances, a small shot shot in terms of lethality is no different from any other shot. With increasing distance to 15 meters or more, its effectiveness is completely lost.

Fraction?5-1

It makes little sense to use it in defensive cartridges. The weight of a grain?2, for example, is only 0.3 g and at a distance of 25-30 m its energy will not exceed 15 J. Any obstacle will be an insurmountable obstacle for it. Hope for a psychological demoralizing effect is better placed on a warning shot.

Large fraction (0-0000)

One of the most formidable means available? shotgun. Shotgun 0000 weighing 0.75 g at an initial 380 m/s at a distance of 25-30 m will retain 330 m/s, that is, it will have an energy of over 40 J. At the specified distance, the shot sheaf will have a diameter of about a meter. How many shots are in a 12 gauge cartridge? about 50. A person who gets into a cloud of fractions has a chance to get 15-20 hits. This is serious. There is only one drawback of the fraction of these numbers - the inability to hit targets behind obstacles. So, a fence made of an inch board, a wooden door or a car door will reduce its effectiveness to zero. Despite this, I would recommend using cartridges with large shot 00-0000 in a defensive magazine, alternating them with grapeshot.

Buckshot

Strictly speaking, spherical projectiles with a diameter of 6 to 10 mm are called buckshot. However, three sizes of buckshot find practical use in factory cartridges: 6 mm, 7.5 mm and 8.5 mm. This is due to how many buckshots fit in a row in a sleeve of one caliber or another. In the 12th row, you can place 3 buckshots of 8.5 mm each or 4 of 7.5 mm each, or 7 of 6 mm each. The fundamental difference between buckshot and shot is that each buckshot is a full-fledged lethal element. So, the initial energy of an 8.5-mm buckshot weighing 3.6 grams and about 380 m / s is 260 J, which is three times the energy needed to cause fatal damage. An obstacle such as a door or a fence with a thickness of 30-40 mm is not able to protect a person from large buckshot.

It should be noted that the difference in the effectiveness of various calibers becomes especially noticeable in the shot shot. So, in buckshot cartridges of the 20th caliber, only 6-mm buckshot can be used, 4 buckshot in a row. Larger buckshot will not be rationally placed in the sleeve. Factory buckshot 410 caliber, which is a projectile of three buckshot, has a low initial speed and mediocre accuracy. It is curious to note that it is in the 410 caliber that the largest buckshot from 8.8 to 10 mm can work most efficiently, but with independent equipment. Powder charge in 1.1 g? Falcon? informs a projectile of three buckshots of 8.8 mm caliber an initial speed of about 480-500 m / s. Thus, the energy of each buckshot exceeds 450 J, which is comparable to the energy of a 9 mm Parabellum bullet. From 10 meters, such a projectile easily penetrates 2 mm steel or a layer of wood up to 10 cm thick. The use of a projectile from three 10 mm buckshots in special containers in 12 gauge is meaningless. It is much more difficult to hit a target with such a projectile than with a bullet.

Bullet

34

A kind of ultima ratio (last argument). In a defensive scenario, the need to use a bullet is unlikely. And yet ... It is useful to have a couple of bullet cartridges in a miniature bandolier worn on the butt. If necessary (if, more than expected, the aggressor turns out to be protected by body armor), the bullet cartridge can be quickly sent to the underbarrel magazine of the pump-action gun or to the spare magazine? Saiga?. Theoretically, the bullet cartridge of a smoothbore gun should not penetrate the means of individual armor protection above the first class. Still, I recommend having a pack of bullet cartridges in stock? Sovestr? or at worst? Tandem?.

Rifled long-barreled weapon

for M16 fans (clones like SDI-XR15)

38

What is impossible.
- you can not have a weapon firing bursts
- you can not have rubber arrows that can confidently harm the attacker.
- you can not have pistols, and in general any weapon that can shoot being shorter than 800mm.

In total, we see that the ban on weapons does not apply to mass executions, tactical weapons are sold to themselves in the form of a saiga-12k-40, for example.
- does not apply to car showdowns, it is quite realistic to carry it with you in a car if you wish, something 800mm long.

Article 37. Necessary defense
It is not a crime to cause harm to an offending person in a state of necessary defense, that is, when protecting the personality and rights of the defending person or other persons, the interests of society or the state protected by law from a socially dangerous encroachment, if the limits of necessary defense were not exceeded.

In general terms, this can be formulated as follows: the degree of protection must be chosen based on the danger of the situation. Those. just because they wanted to punch you, it doesn't mean that you can shoot a person with a 20-gauge pump-action shotgun. In fact, in this case, you can inflict only moderate damage on the attacking person. If the attacker directly threatens life, then the limits of self-defense can be extended up to the lethal outcome of the attacker. In any case, it must be remembered that beyond the limits of necessary self-defense, criminal liability follows.

So according to the same article 37:

Deliberate actions that clearly do not correspond to the nature and degree of public danger of the encroachment are recognized as exceeding the limits of necessary defense.

In addition to all objects permitted by law, a person can also use found improvised means. For example, if the attacker is twice the mass and is also armed with an ax, it is quite possible to use a brick or stone found nearby to repel the attack. True, this does not mean at all that you can carry any home-made devices with you, such as brass knuckles or metal nuts on a rope. In order to understand what is possible and what is not, let's cite an excerpt from Article 6 of the federal law? On weapons?.

Article 6. Restrictions on the circulation of civilian and service weapons

In the territory Russian Federation prohibited:
?? flails, brass knuckles, shurikens, boomerangs and other objects of shock-crushing and throwing action specially adapted for use as weapons, with the exception of sports equipment;

cold bladed weapons and knives, the blades and blades of which are either automatically removed from the handle when a button or lever is pressed and fixed by them, or extended by gravity or accelerated movement and automatically fixed, with a blade and blade length of more than 90 mm;
barrelless firearms for self-defense, electroshock devices and spark gaps that have output parameters that exceed the values ​​established by the state standards of the Russian Federation and comply with the standards of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation?

Tuition fees and education in our country are increasing, and with it, the number of gopota on the street and other criminal elements who are interested in: what is in your pockets, what kind of mobile phone do you have and how much cash do you carry with you.

Also, in addition to the classic “gateway battles” and showdowns in a club / disco a la “you hit me”, showdowns on the highways and roads of our country have become more and more frequent, because now almost everyone has a car, and it can take a long time to park properly and follow traffic rules not every.

Undoubtedly, after two, and even one unpleasant meeting in a dark alley of varying degrees of unprofitability and stressfulness, the thought arises for us: either go to the martial arts section (in order to go there for 2 months and quit) just kidding to repel the offenders using that tool, which is always with you - your body, or to acquire a certain "argument" that will serve as an excellent solution to any dispute without any licenses and other time-consuming registration of serious weapons.

1. Gas spray

A typical feminine version that you can throw in your purse and forget. By providing this item to your beloved girl, you can be a little less afraid for her. The spray can is also good for its unpretentiousness - it does not require maintenance, it is durable and easy to use. Also, he will not leave any bodily harm, only unpleasant sensations and a bitter residue in the memory of the failed robber.

The disadvantages are that it cannot be used in enclosed spaces like an elevator, you can turn your weapon against yourself, and on the street in windy and rainy weather, such a self-defense weapon will also be ineffective.

2. Stack

The younger brother of the bit, which will be discussed below, is notable for the fact that it will easily fit even in your back pocket, of course, if it is telescopic. Lightness, flexibility and easy learning make it a very effective self-defense item even when there are several attackers.

Of course, he will leave bodily harm, but serious injuries can hardly be inflicted on them. On the downside, you can write down the fact that in winter it will be ineffective due to thick jackets and other multi-layered clothing, you will have to hit pointwise in unprotected places, face and palms - and this requires preparation.

3. Bat

The most popular self-defense item among motorists, who with a sly grin explain to the traffic cops that they are baseball players, harsh, brutal and with their appearance alone can immediately solve all problems, even if you don’t use it. However, this thing is heavy and in unprepared hands, with improper handling, swinging and other fencing elements in the style of “This is Spartaaa”, for example, it can injure your wrists and fall out of your hands to the delight of gopniks.

Thus, in the minuses of a bit, you can write down its heftiness and absolute inapplicability for girls, and you can also easily cross the threshold of necessary self-defense with a bat and end up on the “other side” yourself.

4. Taser

Another female self-defense option is now finding its way into the hands of guys who purchase it in the form of a remote stun gun in the form of a pistol. The classic stun gun is good because it will cut down even a very strong opponent simply and immediately, as well as a simple crackle of the discharge will cool the hottest heads of the gates.

The disadvantages are that the opponent will have to be let very close, a good reaction and calculation of the moment of striking is needed, and a remote stun gun also needs careful care and timely recharging of the batteries.

5. IMPACT-metered aerosol spray device

A spectacular little thing that recently appeared on the self-defense market is a simplified analogue of a gas pistol, which requires a license. You can use the STRIKE with complete impunity, to some extent, of course. It is a pistol grip with a chopped off barrel, from which a gas mixture will fly out towards the opponent.

Those who have experienced it compare the action of this device with good hit professional boxer. Compact and convenient, it will not leave serious damage, but the disadvantages are that you need to have at least primary shooting skills, as well as practice accuracy.

P.s. and if you have accumulated a lot of such different things that you consider already unnecessary, then you can give them away for free and get other more useful items in return.

The modern world is far from ideal. Outbreaks of violence and aggression among civilized society are no longer an exception. And they are becoming more and more widespread. It is almost impossible to predict where and when the next conflict of interest will occur, so anyone can become a participant in a non-standard situation, regardless of their desire.

Tasers

To date, it is not difficult to purchase a self-defense tool without a license - you can find a suitable model on the Internet or visit a specialized store.

Despite the saturation of the market with new and more advanced protection, the time-tested stun gun still occupies the leading position.

A small device, easily hidden in a pocket or handbag, can produce up to three million volts, which, in fact, strikes the enemy.

Self-defense tools such as stun guns, as a rule, do not harm the general health of a person, causing only muscle spasms, and burns, in rare cases causing loss of consciousness. However, if a person has problems with work of cardio-vascular system, electric shock can be a serious test for the body and even lead to death.

However, the use of a stun gun is not necessary, since the very sight of an electric arc instills fear in the enemy, and, being afraid of being hit, he usually hides.

Another advantage of this tool is the absence of certain physical parameters and special skills.

Using a stun gun is quite easy, you just need to bring the device to the enemy’s body area and press the start button.

Gas cartridges

The best self-defense tool for women is aerosol-gas devices. very affordable and common, sometimes they are sold even in supermarkets.

The principle of operation of such a device lies in the damaging effect of a special gas on the mucous membranes of a person. The gas is harmless to human life and has only a temporary effect, namely: lacrimation, pain, disorientation, respiratory rhythm disorder.

With this method, coordination of actions is important, because if the gas jet does not hit the target (eyes, mouth), the enemy will not receive proper damage and may become even more angry.

Telescopic baton

Some means of self-defense at first glance are completely harmless. For example, when folded, it resembles some kind of pen case. But one has only to press the button, as the mechanism is activated, presenting a frightening means of self-defense. The baton is made of durable material that allows you to repeatedly increase the force of impact.

The disadvantage of this device is the undesirable use of it by persons with poor physical fitness. If you act ineptly, and the force of your blow is not enough to destabilize the enemy, he may take away the weapon and use it against you.

Brass knuckles

The most ancient means of self-defense (without a license), which allows you to increase the striking power in a fistfight, is brass knuckles, or arm weights. Of course, such a tool would be useful only for men, since women rarely come into close contact with the enemy.

It is known that even ordinary keys, held in the palm of your hand, double the impact force.

Brass knuckles, on the other hand, can cause significant harm to an opponent in the form of cuts, cuts and abrasions. Some species are equipped with sharp blades or spikes, which turns them, in fact, into melee weapons.

However, no authorization document is required for these self-defense equipment.

Laser flashers

An improved and more functional look of the shocker. The operating mechanism is equipped not with current, but with a laser device that blinds the enemy and causes disorientation in space.

The device is compact and does not take up much space, so it can be hidden even in a small women's handbag. To use a laser shocker does not require a physical advantage, special skills and direct contact. It is effective even at a distance of two meters, which allows you to start using even before approaching the attacker. The chance of an enemy taking possession of your weapon is reduced to a minimum. In addition, the laser beam can be directed at several opponents, so this one is very effective in a group attack. In order to put the mechanism into action, a simple push of a button is enough. The laser beam has a low destructive power, so there is no chance of causing fatal injuries.

These advantages make laser stun guns the most promising means of self-defense without permission, as evidenced by a noticeable increase in demand for this product.

Firearms

If the above list does not satisfy your needs, and you want to add a more effective self-defense tool to your arsenal, you will need a little more time and money to acquire it.

As required by federal law, in order to become the owner of a bladed or firearm, you must first obtain a license.

The first step in obtaining a document is the passage of special courses with the subsequent receipt of a certification diploma. It must be renewed every 5 years. After training, it is necessary to undergo a medical examination for the absence of psychological problems and obtain a certificate of form 046-1, which is valid for six months. In addition to the certificate and certificate, the licensing department must provide a photo of 3x4 cm, photocopies of all completed pages of the passport and a receipt for payment of the license tax. The document verification process takes up to 1 month.

After obtaining a license, you can safely go to the weapons store for a new thing. But do not forget to bring enough money with you, as self-defense firearms are not cheap at all.
