High-speed shooting from Grand Power
One of the advantages of this traumatic pistol is the possibility of high-speed shooting.
Grand Power
The Grand Power T12 pistol uses a new 10?28 traumatic cartridge, which is an extended 28 mm casing of the 9mm Parabellum (9?19) combat cartridge with a 12 mm diameter rubber bullet weighing 1.8 g. The use of this cartridge eliminated the main drawback of the Grand Power T10 pistol, which was the unstable feed of 10?22T cartridges from the magazine to the chamber. The reason for these delays was the insufficient length of the cartridge, since the weapon was developed on the basis of the K100 combat pistol, the magazine of which is designed for 9?19 cartridges. The 10?28 traumatic cartridge is almost identical in length to the 9mm Parabellum, due to which the feed is now smooth, like in the K100 combat pistol. But with the introduction of the new cartridge, not only the reliability of the pistol was increased, but also the effectiveness of this weapon in self-defense.
The 10?22T traumatic cartridge manufactured by AKBS LLC significantly exceeds the recently popular .45 Rubber in muzzle energy and has higher energy than 9mm P.A., or is equal according to the results of measurements when shooting with the most powerful 9mm P.A. cartridges from the T10 pistol. When shooting from the Grand Power T12 traumatic pistol with 10?28 cartridges with a 1.8 g bullet, the muzzle energy is about 150 J. This is a very good indicator in comparison with most samples of traumatic self-defense weapons at the moment. In the future, AKBS LLC can produce significantly more effective traumatic cartridges for self-defense, with heavier bullets and greater muzzle energy, but only if the weapons legislation is changed for the better in relation to ordinary citizens of Russia.
