Steel sleeve of Prigozhin

American doctor and enthusiast of a civilian firearm - about weapons seized during searches from the founder of the PMC "Wagner"

IMPORTANT
We remind you that the “new newspaper Europe” is recognized as undesirable. Do not refer to us in social networks if you are in Russia.

Media published photographs of Prigozhin searches. The weapon was lying on the floor.

I am a consistent supporter of the second correction of our, the American Constitution on the right of citizens to weapons, for God made people different, and Colt equalized their chances.

Without a doubt, I can consider myself an expert in the field of civil self -defense after 30 years of studying and using weapons.

(I am an opponent of registration, but at the same time a supporter of age -related restrictions on acquisition, five -day expectations, before the buyer can pick up his weapons, and the basic course - mandatory, as a driver’s license when buying a car).

So, weapons were lying on the floor. In general, I approve of the choice. In the distance - a good sniper rifle, it is difficult to say that for the model, most likely under the cartridge 308 NATO, but, possibly, under Lapua.338. In any case, the rifle is not cheap, its cost can vary from 1300 to $ 5,000 depending on the brand, and this is not counting optics.

A pair of penny "kalash".

AR-15, also for some reason with optics. Models can vary significantly in price - from 700 to 2500 dollars.

Beretta CX4 Storm - about $ 600, good carbine, without complaints.

A 12-caliber shotgun covered with papers is most likely semi-automatic-as they say, "for the home, for the family."

And, of course, Glock, in the type of model 19, but maybe 17, the size is difficult to evaluate.

In general, the test choice.

What amazed: cartridges are clearly visible in the box and in equipped stores - this is Wolf Ammunition, a company registered in California and selling mainly products of the Tula weapons factory.

Unlike other countries, in Russia since time immemorial, they make cartridges in a steel sleeve and cover the cartridge with varnish.

Previously, China also made steel sleeves, but in recent years he switched to brass.

In NATO countries, all cartridges in brass sleeves.

The fact is that with an explosion of gunpowder in the cartridge, a brass sleeve, expanding, smooths out a blow to the details of the weapon, allowing it to work longer with less wear.

In Russia, weapons were always made for war. The life of such weapons is short, such as "Maxim died, and hell with him." In addition, it is less accurate than Western, and this is not about Himars.

Pourish in Tula cartridges is also bad, dirty.

Wolf cartridges are cheapest. These cartridges broke the extractor in my first Walther PPK pistol purchased in America.

I brought him back to the store, the seller looked and asked to show the cartridges. I took out a box of Tula cartridges. He looked, took the box and silently poured my cartridges into the garbage in front of my eyes. I changed the extractor and calmly said: "Do not use shit, doctor, it can cost you life."

From this moment I do not use Tula cartridges, and there were no more problems with the gun.

Question: Why does the richest bandit of modern Prigozhin use shitty cartridges? It is unlikely that he cannot buy good cartridges. Most likely, he does not understand anything about this, and his environment, apparently, also, since there is no one to suggest. And in vain, because who, if not him, Glock can come in handy at any time.

Such a careless attitude towards ammunition can cost a Prigiron of Life, although not very sorry for the ghoul.
