Faced with the need to protect themselves, their homes and their loved ones, every time a person is faced with a problem: what kind of means of self-defense to choose - electric, traumatic or all of the gas.If the application of an electric weapons such as stun, take too close a contact with a suspicious person, the gas and traumatic weapon operates at a greater distance.Of these two types of gas are more popular means of defense.Before you make such an important choice, you should understand, is divided on what types of gas weapons.
most "harmless" type of such weapons are considered sprayers, popularly called "gas cartridges".Cans differ according to two criteria: the content and type of the jet.So, gas cartridges are:
- aerosol contents are sprayed in the form of a cloud;
- designed with a narrow conical jet;
- jet, "shooting" a narrow and elastic jet;
- foam or gel - their content is converted into a foam or gel.
If we talk about the content, something like gas guns filled with pepper solution, tear gas or a mixture thereof.Efficiency of the cartridge depends on the concentration of these substances.Gas cartridges are cheap, do not need a license to use and simply can always carry with them.However, the disadvantages they also have: in winter the contents of the can may freeze, they can not neutralize several people at once and apply in a small room.In addition, the contents of the cartridges may not act on a drunken man or a drug addict.
Gas revolver or a pistol is a more complex gas weapons.It shoots not only filled with gas cartridges, and light-signaling ammunition.From combat such weapons it differs only in that it is not suitable to live ammunition, as the trunks of gas pistols no need thread.In any types of gas weapons is not divisible.These guns are distinguished only by brand manufacturers, with the best of them produced by German and Russian firms.Before the gas spray gun has the important advantage as long range.Range of validity of about three meters, although most efficient gas pistols operate on meter distance.In addition, such a weapon is not afraid of cold, and just scare them criminals better than sprays.But the license for gas guns of this type is needed.The remaining shortcomings gas pistols are identical cons of gas cartridges.Applying them in a small room, you can harm not only the enemy, but also themselves.For drug addicts and drunks gas gun, too little effect.
purchasing gas self-protection, do not stop at the gun firing bullets of various types, for example, and gas, and light.As a rule, such weapons are not particularly reliable.Also check whether the seller is authorized to gas weapons as pistols, and cartridges must be licensed.
