Taurus PT 100


   The Taurus PT 100 is a semiautomatic pistol of Brazilian manufacture, produced by Forjas Taurus S.A., based in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.

   Inspired by the project of the Beretta 92, of Italian manufacture under license. This model more than a copy is an improved evolution of the same Beretta 92 fs. The PT-100 is the designation of the variant adapted to fire the cartridge .40 S & W instead of the [[9 × 19 mm Parabellum | that is, the TAURUS model PT 92. This, together with the PT 100, has been adopted by various police institutions of the majority of the Brazilian States for carrying them.

   The weapon can also be found in other countries, as it is a 40 gauge SW pistol, shortened cap version of the powerful 10mm caliber created for the FBI of the United States. This intermediate version with a power of stop that goes between the 9 * 19 Para and the 45 ACP, reason why it is very coveted in the police and civil community.

   It has all the advantages of the 92 FS model that is currently the regulatory weapon of the US Army under the designation M9, and has the security controls desmartillador (decocker) and can bring the hammer back as colt 1911 and its clones) in the body (frame) not in the pistol car which for many is a disadvantage since the insurance can be activated in tactical raking of the weapon, which is very appreciated by a large part of the gun-loving community. It has great capacity of charger and its immense volume in addition to contributing to the accuracy of it by its radius of sight (sight radius), thus bringing intimidation by possible threats. It is a pistol of mechanism in double or simple action. It has optimal accuracy up to 50 meters in the flat shot and up to 90 meters in the aiming shot.

 Safety: Ambidextrous external manual safety with hammerdriver and hammer lock (style 1911 / CZ 75) hammer lock and cartridge indicator in the chamber.

   Finish: Pavonado, stainless steel.

   Materials: steel barrel and slide, aluminum frame.

Beratta 92A1


   The class "A1" is a specialized technical branch of the most reliable personal defense weapon and subjected to more military trials in history: the 92FS. We start with the 92 model, extremely reliable, maintaining its engineering characteristics that provide it with great precision, safety and reliability; then, we add some features that are currently appreciated by the most demanding tactical shooters, as well as by those who want the best in home defense or personal protection. The result is the 92A1, a gun that is so reliable for a intended use as safe and easy to use even by beginners.

   The most striking difference between the classic 92FS and the 92A1 is that the latter is equipped with a Picatinny guide located in front of the trigger guard. This guide facilitates the coupling of a wide variety of tactical accessories, including lighting systems and laser pointing devices. Likewise, the 92A1 has a removable front sight, which means that it can be changed in a few minutes without the intervention of a gunsmith or alteration of the gun. Maintenance is easy thanks to the manual dismounting bolt, without the need for tools, as well as a captive back-spring unit.

   Another feature that will impress you on the 92A1 is its charger. The gun has stainless steel chargers with a capacity for 17 cartridges, designed to offer impressive firing power, as well as exceptional durability and resistance to corrosion. On the other hand, the loaders of the 92A1 have a longitudinal bar that helps to collect the dust and grit of the charger, preventing cartridges from touching the walls of the charger. The result is the improvement in the reliability of the charger's power and an extraordinarily easy maintenance of it. In addition, the charger has been beveled, making it very quick to change the chargers without taking your eyes off the lens.

   The base design of the 92A1 is the 92FS or M9, the gun that has faithfully served the US military through its campaigns in the toughest regions of the world. But even in this aspect, Beretta never sleeps on his laurels. This gun incorporates an innovative internal damper in the frame that considerably reduces the tension when firing (yes, even without ammunition + P hot), which prolongs its useful life and makes the firing smoother. The best of both worlds, the 92A1 offers the most experienced shooters the look and feel typical of the 92 (including the more traditional rounded trigger guard) with the most advanced tactical features today. This gun is also available in caliber .40 S & W as the 96A1 and 9x21mm as the 98A1.

Beretta APX


   The Beretta APX is a polymer-framed, striker-fired semi-automatic pistol designed and produced by Beretta.

   Designed largely for the U.S. Armed Forces' XM17 Modular Handgun System competition. Beretta had offered to provide their M9A3 model at a reduced price as a continuance of M9 procurement program, but were informed that the changes to the M9A3 were so significant that it fell outside the scope of an Engineering Change Proposal (ECP), and that the United States Department of Defense preferred to go through a new procurement instead. Should the Beretta APX have won the MHS competition it would have been manufactured in the Beretta factory in Gallatin, Tennessee. Beretta maintains administrative offices at the location of the first factory in Accokeek, Maryland, but moved the factory due to the Maryland Legislation posture of unfriendliness to firearms makers, dealers, and owners.

   On February 28, 2017, Beretta USA announced the APX availability for the US civilian market starting on April 15, 2017. In 2018, two variants of the APX were announced: the APX Centurion, with a slightly smaller frame, slide and barrel, and the APX Compact, with a subcompact-sized frame, slide and barrel. To comply with the MHS specification the firearms must support different grip sizes to fit shooters of different stature. The APX supports this with replaceable grip straps. The distance from the axis of the barrel to the top of the handgrip has been kept to a minimum of 21 mm (0.83 in) in order to reduce muzzle rise, which increases the ability to accurately fire quick follow-up shots. As specified in the MHS specification, the APX also features a MIL-STD-1913 rail under the front of the frame.

   Unlike other Beretta pistols, the APX uses the traditional Browning tilting-barrel short recoil design. The serialized part of the gun is a stainless steel chassis which allows true modular reconfiguration.[6] by allowing the factory black frame to be changed with a number of different options, including flat dark earth, tan, wolf grey and olive drab. Replacement frames are also available without finger grooves.

   The APX is striker-fired. When cocked there is a protrusion from the rear of the slide indicating that the chamber is loaded. Unlike a number of striker-fired pistols, such as the Glock, which have to have the trigger pulled during take down, the APX has a striker deactivation button that can be pushed to deactivate the striker, thus preventing accidental discharge, which other striker-fired pistols can suffer due to user negligence during disassembly. Additionally there is also an automatic striker block safety. The trigger mechanism features a drop safety. If the pistol is dropped, this prevents inertia from causing the trigger to fire the weapon, thus preventing accidental discharge.

H&K G3


   The Heckler & Koch G3 is a 7.62mm caliber combat rifle, manufactured by the German company Heckler & Koch, in collaboration with the Spanish state company CETME (Center for Technical Studies of Special Materials).

   The origin of this rifle goes back to the last years of the Second World War, when the engineers of the Light Weapons Development Group (Abteilung 37) of the Mauser in Oberndorf am Neckar designed the MKb Gerät 06 assault rifle prototype (Maschinekarabiner Gerät 06 o Automatic carbine Apparatus 06) firing the 7.92 x 33 Kurz cartridge, using a short recoil mechanism and roller bolt adapted from the MG 42 machine gun, but with a fixed barrel and a gas-operated piston. It was observed that by paying attention to the cadences of the mechanisms, the gas system could be omitted. The resulting weapon was the Gerät 06H (the "H" is an abbreviation of halbverriegelt or "semiacerrojado"), that was denominated like StG 45 (M) (Sturmgewehr 45 (M) but it was not produced in great amounts and the war finished before that the first series rifles were completed.

   The first G3 rifles differed substantially from the most recent models; the first rifles had pivoting hilts with two positions, a folding bipod, handguards made of stamped steel sheet, wooden stock (on models with a fixed stock) or an extendable metal stock. The weapon was modernized during its active service (among other minor modifications, it was changed the hike, the muzzle flash and was added a handguard and a plastic stock), giving rise to the most recent models, the G3A3 (with a butt fixed polymer) and G3A4 (with metal cylinder head). The rifle was successful in the export market, being adopted by the armed forces of more than 40 countries. The G3 was and in some cases continues to be produced under license in: France (Manufacture d'armes de Saint-Étienne; MAS), Greece (Elliniki Biomihania Oplon), Iran (Organized Defense Industries), Luxembourg (Luxemburg Defense Technologi), Mexico (SEDENA), Burma, Norway (Kongsberg Gruppen), Pakistan (Pakistan Armament Factories), Portugal (Indústrias Nacionais de Defesa, INDEP), Saudi Arabia, Sweden (FFV), Thailand, Turkey (Makina ve Kimya Endüstrisi Kurumu, MKEK ) and the United Kingdom (Royal Ordnance)

   The G3A3 (A4) is an automatic rifle with fire selector that has a delayed roll back mechanism. The bolt assembly consists of its head and the bolt carrier. The bolt is kept aligned by two sliding rollers that fit in notches of the breech. The bolt is opened when both rollers are compressed inwards against notches when pushed by the pressure exerted by the gases on the head of the bolt. When the rollers move inward, the recoil energy is transferred to the bolt and the bolt carrier starts to reverse while the bolt head moves back slowly relative to the bolt carrier. While the bolt carrier releases the rollers, the pressure in the bore of the barrel is reduced to a safe level, the bolt head is retained by the bolt carrier and moves backward as a single piece, continuing the operational cycle. The bolt also has an anti-rebound mechanism, which prevents it from jumping out of the chamber of the barrel. The spring-loaded extracting nail is inside the bolt, while the ejector lever is located inside the trigger assembly (actuated by the bolt when backing up).

   The rifle fires with a hammer and has a trigger mechanism with a 3-position fire selector, which is also the weapon's safety and prevents accidental firing (in the "E" or "1" position - semiautomatic mode ("Einzelfeuer") ")," F "or" 20 "- automatic mode (" Feuerstoß ")," S "or" 0 "- weapon secured (" Sicher ") and the trigger is mechanically deactivated). The weapon can be equipped with an optional 4-position selector, illustrated with pictograms and an ambidextrous lever. The fourth position of the selector activates the short burst mode (3 shots).

   The weapon is equipped with mechanical sights that consist of a revolving drum lift and a covered sight. The lift, adjustable both vertically and horizontally, has an open notch used to fire up to 100 m and three openings used for distances of 200, 300 and 400 m. The mechanism drawer has grooves where the HK clamps are fixed, used to mount optical day or night sights.

   The rifled barrel (with four right-hand grooves and a rotation rate of 305 mm) ends in a grooved flame arrestor that can also be used to mount a bayonet or as an adapter for launching rifle grenades. As of G3A3, the barrel flute was polygonal. The chamber of the barrel is grooved, which helps in the initial extraction of a cap shot (since it opens under great pressure in the barrel). The G3A3 uses straight double-row steel (260 g) or aluminum (140 g) straight loaders, as well as a 50-round drum made by Allied Armament.
