Homemade unusual signal pistols with their own hands. Cool homemade weapon

29.06.2020

In our turbulent times, the need for self-defense is simply enormous. Someone might say that special public services. It's true.

But such protection is not always effective. Alas, but very often people have to take care of themselves. There are situations from which it is simply impossible to get out in any other way than to respond to an attack.

Perhaps such actions may not always fully coincide with the letter of the law, but life and health are more important than any laws. Therefore, each person should have something with him. Or be able to make it in time from improvised means. How to make a self-defense weapon with your own hands, read in this article.

What weapon is better to choose for defense

In some cases, improvised means can also be used to fight off the enemy. It can be a stone, a stick, or just a pile of sand thrown into the eyes.

But such funds are not always available at the right time. In addition, a person can simply get confused and forget about everything.

Another thing is if a person is already prepared for self-defense. He has a plan for such incidents and defensive means at hand. In a world where danger can lurk anywhere, you just have to be prepared.

And, above all, a person must have means of protection. Such, for example, as or , or . You can buy them at the store, but it is much more profitable and safer to use homemade self-defense equipment. This type of weapon does not need to be registered anywhere, it is securely hidden and they are afraid to lose it. And it is quite possible to do it yourself.

Making a baton

Club - the simplest and reliable remedy defense. Easier and impossible to imagine. It can be made from wood, rubber or any other material.

This is a pretty accurate weapon. With it, you can deliver fast and strong blows.

As a result, the enemy can be severely damaged. The main disadvantage of such a means of self-defense is the size of the baton. It is inconvenient to carry around.

Accordingly, use it better at home protecting housing and its inhabitants from intruders.

Nunchaku

Nunchaku is the most common self-defense weapon made of wood. To use the nunchaku you need certain skills.

To the person who picked them up for the first time, they are unlikely to help. But a little practice will fix everything. Nunchucks outperform the baton with their convenience. They are smaller and lighter. They are easier to carry around.

Making your own nunchaku is really easy. All you need is two wooden sticks. Their size can vary from 15 to 30 centimeters.

At their ends, you need to make a hole and connect them with a rope or chain. Due to the fact that they are made of two parts, there is almost no shock absorption.

Note: In addition to striking, you can also defend yourself with nunchucks. They will be able to avert a blow with a knife or other object.

Sling

This is very ancient view weapons. Memories of him can be found in the legend of David and Goliath. But this means can be protected even now.

To make it, you need to have a simple lace. At one end you need to make a loop. In the middle, make a bed for the projectile. Any small solid object can serve as a projectile. Even a simple stone.

The sling is used in the following way. We put the loop on the arm, insert the projectile into the stock. The other end of the rope must be firmly clamped in the same hand. After the sling picks up speed, the free end must be released.

The projectile will fly out and fly in the direction in which the hand shows. Moreover, such a blow will have much more power than if a stone were simply thrown. If a sling is not at hand, then a T-shirt or belt can also be used in its role.

You should always think about safety. Moreover, it is not difficult to make self-defense means with your own hands. Watch a video on how to make homemade nunchucks for self-defense and do-it-yourself training from improvised means:

Recently, representatives of law enforcement agencies found in a 66-year-old resident of the city of Dedovsk (Istra district of the Moscow region) an arsenal of weapons from the times of the Great Patriotic War. The pensioner kept a variety of rarities - from a Walther P38 pistol to two machine guns, and they were bought, according to the owner, in ordinary markets.
Illegal arsenals of this size are rare for the police, much more often they come across all sorts of home-made weapons, which are collected from improvised means by modern "Kulibins" with a passion for firearms.

But in reality, everything turns out quite differently. It’s only a pity that this simple truth is revealed only to those who nevertheless forced themselves to go out to the shooting range at least once to check if they can shoot just as dashingly, kavikov and gevpoi.

Shooting sport is one of the oldest. It all started with a bow and crossbow, and in 1896 rifle and pistol shooting competitions were included in the program of the first Olympic Games. However, ideas about bullet shooting are full of illusions. Let's try to debunk at least some of them.

1. Only lazy people do shooting.

This is what some mothers think, who unsuccessfully tried to instill in their child a love of hockey, volleyball, football, but for some reason it was shooting. In fact, to each his own. And laziness has nothing to do with it.

Classical shooting creates a heaviest static load on the musculoskeletal system, so it’s better for the frail and weak to strengthen their muscles first, and only then sign up for James Bond. By the way, that is why this sport is not recommended to engage in up to 12-13 years.

2. Shooting will miraculously turn a hyperactive child into a deadpan yogi, so it's good for fidgets

It is interesting that coaches and experts advise calm and balanced children to engage in this sport, and the static shooting will seem a difficult test if they are too active.

Shooting teaches to control emotions, helps to become more attentive, balanced, develops self-control. Some athletes, they say, can, like yogis, lower the pulse so that it does not interfere with shooting. Really?

3. This is one of the easiest sports in which physical effort is kept to a minimum.

Some imagine it like this: know pull the trigger - only accuracy is needed. In reality, everything looks different: for 5-6 hours in a row, the shooter repeatedly raises a rifle that weighs about 8 kg. An athlete loses 2-3 kg in one exit! Who wants to lose weight?

4. Is it a sport?

Shooting classes include general physical training. The guys run, pull up, push up. Shooting will not harm only a strong body. Remember the shooter's stance? The curve of the back is quite strong. Imagine the load on the spine if the posture does not change for an hour and a half. Exercise from other sports, swimming, yoga will help maintain health. So the classes are not limited to the shooting range, and the athlete develops harmoniously.

5. No need to think: bang-bang - and you're done

But abroad, shooting is classified as a psychological sport. Much depends on the internal state of the athlete, on self-control. A shooter with a weapon is the finest system. As in chess, pre-thinking is very important. This programs attention directed both to one's internal state (muscle tone, stance stability, state of readiness) and to an external target (the position of the front sight relative to the aiming point).

The theoretical foundations are easy to understand, it is difficult to work on yourself. Aiming accurately is also easy, but it’s incredibly difficult to sort out your thoughts. The point is not to hit the bull's-eye, but to repeat this result forty times in a row, and for this you need to control the smallest movement of the body and everything that happens in the head.

6. Everyone can do it - there would be a desire

However, like any other sport, bullet shooting has contraindications. These are diseases of the nervous, muscular and endocrine systems, mental illness, epilepsy, deformation of bones and joints, heart defects and hypertension, blood diseases and some visual defects.

7. Bullet shooting is the most dangerous sport

Although the weapon itself is very dangerous, accidents are almost impossible due to the constant work of the trainer on safety techniques. Here, for example, are some rules: always treat the weapon as if it were loaded and do not point it where you will not shoot, do not put your finger on the trigger until you are ready to shoot. Their observance allows us to compare shooting with chess in terms of safety.

8. Ammo is always enough

This is a sin of almost all famous militants - endless cartridges. Sometimes the main character can shoot from a pistol without reloading for 2-3 minutes. For information - the most "voluminous" pistol magazine can hold up to 33-x cartridges, with an average rate of fire this will be enough for 30 seconds.

In addition, "sniper" shooting, when one shot - one corpse, is nothing more than an unattainable ideal. The cartridges will fly away much faster than you would like. And if you remember that in some countries, by law, more than 10 rounds cannot be loaded into a pistol, then it becomes completely uninteresting. Until then, until you acquire a useful habit of carrying a couple of spare stores with you and technically changing them. But only this, too, will have to be trained. And take into account that you will have to act in very extreme conditions.

By the way, it’s better not to carry more than three stores with you - it’s useless. If you still haven’t laid down the aggressor for all this time, then you have problems with your hands. And if there are stupidly many of them, then the problems are already from a different category of complexity, in which the gun can only prolong the agony.

9. Shooting from a pistol to the limbs

As films teach us - a bullet in the knee will reliably calm down the enemy. But it’s just that you still have to fall into this knee. Shooting from a pistol in a stressful situation is difficult on its own. Multiply it by the difficulty of shooting at a moving target, and then increase it by a factor of 10, since you need to hit a rather small point. This is really difficult, although it is possible. But even specialists study this for quite a long time, but it’s still not a fact that they can then apply it in real combat conditions. So, alas, shooting at the limbs is not the solution to all problems.

10. Polymer-Body Pistols Can't See Through Security Scanners

What can I say, "polymer weapons" are really less visible on x-rays than weapons with a metal case. But you can still see them! The contour of the gun (to put it mildly, characteristic) is still visible.

In addition, even in polymer pistols there are metal parts: a drum, a bolt, a trigger mechanism. So how can you not find them? So what if they have lightweight polymer cases. Contours and metal details will not go anywhere.

About the features of shooting as a sport tellsDARIA ZAKHAROVA (analyst chemist, 23 years old):

“I came to this sport quite recently: I have been doing it for only two months. Got it by accident. Walked with a friend, she offered to "go shoot" at the competition. Performed - got good results. The coach advised me to go to the section. I was on fire - it was very interesting to try. And here I am.

Only total self-control. So I took aim and inhaled at the wrong time - and that's it, the result is not the same. Or she pulled the trigger not directly, but slightly to the right. Or she moved her jaw a little - and the rifle was pressed to her cheek. And before the shot itself, it generally starts to twitch. The shooter needs to keep all these moments under control, work with his nervous system.

Muscles must be developed to be obedient. And a static posture, when you do not have the right to even the slightest movement ... Not everyone can stand this. It is no coincidence that the Olympic champions in shooting swam, ran, pulled themselves up - physical training was the strongest.

After training, the shooter must analyze what went wrong, why the result was lower than expected. Without this, you will not be able to improve your performance. amazing view sports."

On the forums experienced shooters share their insights the benefits of this particular sport.

There is no age limit. A 70-year-old shooter won the gold medal at a hundred-year-old competition. Here, endurance and patience decide a lot, and adolescents often lack these qualities. When learning to shoot, it doesn't matter if a person learns quickly, it all depends on the ability to concentrate.
This is Olympic sport, you can conquer Olympus - there is something to strive for.
Shooting teaches to control emotions, helps to become more attentive, balanced, develops self-control. Some athletes, they say, can, like yogis, lower the pulse so that it does not interfere with shooting. Really?
Like any other sport, bullet shooting educates character, strengthens willpower, endurance, disciplines. Teaches responsibility: lack of concentration can cost the life of another person.
Working with weapons develops an eye, a makes the hand firm.
Shooting lessons give experience that may be required if not in emergency(we hope this does not happen), then in entertainment, for example, hunting.
This is interesting hobby with an aura of detective romance. It is especially cool if a girl is engaged in shooting.

It seems that in shooting, the most interesting thing happens inside, not outside. This training of the psyche creates from the athlete the most precise mechanism that produces the most accurate shot at any time, in any place, in any condition. You can't really say.

Shooting toys can be easily bought at the store, but you can successfully make them yourself. On the pages of the site Secret of the Master are considered various designs cool toys from the simplest to more complex ones, which, in addition to playing and experimental purposes, can be of practical use, for example, in protecting crops from pests in the country.

The pets had something with which to shoot or set fire to. Although these entertainments were considered favorite among children during perestroika, many of them could be harmful to health and even lead to death.

slingshots

Who remembers homemade slingshots? They were of two types - classic and keyed. The classic ones were cut from a thick hazel branch with a fork, a wide gray tourniquet was bought in a pharmacy, a piece of leather was obtained (it was possible to secretly cut at home from travel bag and blame it on my sister) and everything was fastened with copper wire or blue electrical tape.

Such a slingshot was loaded with smooth pebbles, which were often brought into the yards along with sand or unripe berries, such as mountain ash, plum or cherry, which grew in abundance behind the house. The power of a shot with a stone was sometimes enough to smash a champagne bottle to smithereens from 3 meters. Such a slingshot was valued due to the fact that not everyone had the skills and means to create it. It could be exchanged for other valuables such as inserts from Turbo, CinCin and Final90.

Walking and having nothing to do, it was possible to make a simpler slingshot - a keyed one. To do this, it was necessary to find a thick aluminum wire in a braid in a landfill and find a flagellum. As a rule, there were no problems with the latter - it was easily extracted from the elastic of underpants. The newer the underpants, the better the flagellum. From all this, something like this was going to (pictured on the left). Such a slingshot fired with dowels - pieces of copper or aluminum wire bent into a horseshoe.

Crossbows

A heavier version of the slingshot was the crossbow. A wooden clothespin was attached to the board, and an elastic band was attached to the other end in such a way that a “loop” was obtained, the saddle of which fell just on the clothespin. With the necessary stretch, of course. A “bullet” was placed in the elastic loop, the elastic was stretched and clamped into a clothespin. When the button was pressed, a shot was fired. They shot all the same mountain ash, peas, peppercorns or pellets.

Samopal

The most advanced version was called self-propelled guns. This is closer to a real firearm. A thick-walled metal tube was sealed at one end (flattened and topped up with lead), a hole of 1 mm was drilled near the blind end. The pipe was attached to a wooden bed, usually in the form of a pistol (again, the same chair leg was sometimes used). With the help of a ramrod, "sulfur" from matches, a wad and a sub-caliber homemade bullet made of lead were driven into the tube. The shot was fired when a special shock frame, released by the trigger, hit the head of a carnation inserted into a small hole. The bullet had a very serious lethal force - 15 match heads in a 4mm barrel drove a bullet 5 centimeters into a tree. With a crossbow it was better not to get into the police ...

matchshot

Another lightweight weapon was the matchgun. It was made from wooden clothespins, do you feel the usefulness of this Soviet device? He shot with ordinary or burning matches for 10 meters. For its manufacture, a wooden clothespin was disassembled, a place for a spring (from the same clothespin) was machined with a needle file, a “trunk” was machined, a spring was put on one of the halves, the halves were connected reverse sides and wrapped with electrical tape. The spring played the role of both the trigger and the pusher at the same time. Sometimes a piece of “chirkash” from a matchbox was fixed on the “barrel”, so that the match would light up by itself at the moment of the shot. More often, they simply swiped a box at it and immediately shot.

Dart

Probably only the lazy did not play the game "darts", we also loved to throw darts in childhood. Yes, but they were not sold or they cost a lot of money. Therefore, almost any boy in our yard could make it himself. The dart, in terms of its flight and stick-in qualities, turned out to be no worse than the factory one. A sheet of paper, 4 matches, a needle, stationery glue and thread. A home-made target from a notebook sheet was hung on the wall carpet and played.

pistons

Who had a revolver that fired such caps? But it was more interesting to scratch the brown spots with something sharp and watch them ignite. Or even more interesting, roll up a strip of piston and hit it with a hammer. Ringing in the ears for 10 minutes was provided!

Who sees the connection?

Pugach from bolts

And here?

I think our generation will easily explain the connection of these objects. They hammered the dowel with a brick into the asphalt, took it out, crushed matches into the hole, inserted the dowel and threw a brick on top ... Boom! and the piece of asphalt was gone... :) Matches cost 1 kopeck per box and were freely bought in the store.

And this is the "rockets"

Slate in the fire

I think you can easily remember what happens to slate in a fire :) That's right, nothing good - it shoots a lot. in pieces.

Lamps and kinescopes

It was a sin not to break a fluorescent lamp thrown into the trash. They broke with a loud bang, if you throw the lamp on the asphalt end. They didn't think about the environment back then.

But this find in the garbage was extremely rare and always brought great joy to the boys. They cast lots to see who would be the first to throw a brick at the top lamp (the beam gun of the kinescope). She was the most vulnerable point of the kinescope. When the lamp broke, the kinescope collapsed inwards due to the internal vacuum with a very dull pop that echoed in the yards. Neighbor boys immediately ran to see this action. But more often we found kinescopes with a broken lamp ...

Siphon cans

Used cartridges for soda machines (siphon) were also sometimes used. They were stuffed with sulfur from matches and closed the hole with a bolt. Then the infernal device was thrown into the fire ... I must say that this thing was the most dangerous invention of the yard boys. Personally, I have never made such a balloon. And I don't recommend it to others.

Magnesium

We mixed magnesium powdered with a file into a powder in a certain proportion with potassium permanganate, which cost a penny in a pharmacy and wrapped it in a tight paper bag, wrapping it with adhesive tape. They made a hole and screwed a match to it, so that the sulfur head was exactly in the hole. They struck a match on the box and threw it sharply aside. The package exploded with a deafening noise and a bright flash.

knives

In my opinion, every boy in childhood had a folding knife, which was a source of pride. With the help of it they played "zemelka", "tanchiki". Each game had a variety of rules. For example, "land": they drew a circle, divided it equally by the number of participants. Each one stood in his own place. Then, while standing, they stuck a knife into the enemy’s area and cut off a piece from his land. "In advance" (did not stick) - the move passed to another. And according to one rule, it was necessary to stand on your own land all the time as long as you could. According to others, it was possible to stand outside, but in the event of a catastrophic decrease in your area, the enemy offered you to stand for 3 seconds on it. If you can't resist, you're out. You could even stand on tiptoe with one leg - the main thing is to hold out for 3 seconds.

Carbide

Who remembers magic stones with a specific smell that bubble in water? Carbide is a joy for those who find it, for the whole day! When combined with water, it reacted and released the wonderful gas acetylene. It is remarkable that it burns well. In what form did not use carbide. And they just threw it into a puddle, setting it on fire. And they warmed their hands, squeezing the carbide in their palm, immersed in a puddle. And they put it in bottles of water, plugging it with a cork ...

But the most effective use of carbide was hand cannon. They took an empty bottle from under a deodorant or "Dichlorvos", cut off its neck, made a hole at the bottom, put carbide inside, spat on it abundantly, plugged all the holes, shook for a minute, opened it and brought a burning match to a small hole ... volley! !! :)

smokehouse

The real truth is that only our generation knows what the connection is between a children's tumbler or a tennis ball....

But we know what will happen if pieces of this special, magical plastic are wrapped in foil or newspaper, set on fire and extinguished ... How many nerves the uncles spent in garages when such a miracle flew to them from the roof ...

Lead

How much in this word, merged for the heart of a child ... And merged in the truest sense of the word. Remember scouring garages, scouring junk yards for old batteries?

They split them and mined pure lead. The dried electrolyte was beaten out and the soft metal was crushed into a tin can or into a bowl.They made a fire and waited for the liquid metal to sparkle in the jar.

And then do whatever your heart desires!
