A pistol is a firearm designed for firing with one hand. Usually the effective distance of the defeat of pistols does not exceed 50 meters. There are two subclasses of this weapon - a revolver and a self-loading (or automatic) pistol. By the beginning of the Second World War, revolvers were already considered obsolete as a class, but they were used by many countries.
The revolvers are powered in the form of a drum, which are a chamber and a magazine at the same time. At the time of the shot, the chamber becomes part of the barrel of the weapon. The advantages of this type of gun include reliability, durability and fault tolerance. But because of the long reloading and the small number of cartridges, the revolver is poorly suited to the needs of the military. It cannot provide an acceptable density of fire, and therefore was supplanted by a new type of weapon - self-loading pistols.
Self-loading and automatic pistols use the energy of recoil or powder gases to bring the weapon in readiness for the next shot. Cartridges in the chamber are served through a special magazine. In pistols, the magazine is removable for convenience. The advantages of pistols - high rate of fire and quick reload.
In this book, the headboard will look at the most successful samples of pistols that were used in World War II.
