Stechkin's pneumatic pistol is a copy of the famous APS gun, designed by Stechkin Igor Yakovlevich.
Disassembly of the pneumatic model also occursby analogy with the original. The store is removed by pressing the button on the handle. As for the differences, this is primarily the absence of an automatic fire regime. The channel of the falsework is less than 9 mm, the store is intended only for balls, separately there is a balloon compartment in the handle. The shutter speed is shorter than the original.
The pneumatic pistol Stechkin (APS) is equipped withsystem blowback - to simulate the operation of automation. In other words, when a shot is fired, part of the gas distorts the bolt and thereby fires the trigger. In practice, when shooting the first clip, the initial speed of the ball exceeded the declared speed of 120 m / s. The balloon is designed for 80 full-fledged shots, then the pressure falls rapidly.
Pleases and accuracy of shooting.From a distance of 5 meters, the hit accuracy is within 20 mm. You can fire with self-cocking or cocking. The descent is surprisingly smooth and soft, the same can be said about the operation of the pneumatic gun in general. A fuse is provided which switches with a characteristic click with a slight finger movement, and at the same time it does not "hang out". The balloon is placed in the handle by removing the left lining, the capacity of the magazine is 22 balls. As for the cost, the Stechkin pneumatic gun (the price can vary depending on the store) can be purchased at a price of 100 USD.
A few words about the shortcomings of the model.Stechkin's pneumatic pistol is a qualitative weapon in all senses, but there have been some shortcomings. First of all, we are talking about a common "disease" of all structures with a relatively high power. Designers of the gun made the gate wall too thin and equipped the structure with an insufficiently rigid return spring. Therefore, after the first balloon was fired, two small chips from each side formed in front of the bolt. These chips, rather, spoil the appearance of the product, the functioning of the pistol in the technical plan, they do not interfere.
You can avoid the problem.Until the moment when Stechkin's pneumatic gun fires its first shots, it is recommended to put a small clutch on the barrel for more compression of the spring, which, accordingly, will better quench the energy of the bolt. Another drawback is the insufficiently large expansion chamber of the valve. This is reflected in the fact that with the rapid implementation of multiple shots the initial speed of the ball is lower than the declared speed.
The conclusion is simple:Stechkin pneumatic gun is one of the best options in the "price / quality" ratio. Even taking into account minor flaws, you can safely say that the model will definitely adorn the collection and give you a pleasant experience of shooting.
