Of all the traumatic weapons on the Russian arms market, models based on the popular Makarov pistol are the most popular. And they are the subject of controversy between critics. The most discussed are the guns of the company IzhMech. The latest model, made by her on the basis of PM, is MP 80 13Т, possessing a convenient handle. Experts believe this gun is an excellent tuning of all previous models, it has absorbed many of their positive qualities.
What is the MP 80 13T?
At the very beginning, it should be emphasized that this weapon is not a modernized version of the IL-79-9TM, as many traumatic persons believe. Both pistols on the conveyor arrived at the same time, their difference lies in the cartridges of different caliber. The gun in question received 45 Rubber cartridges, thus becoming an excellent alternative for the 9mm Makarich.
The quality of the pistol and its reliability was improved. Despite this, the owner is still required to skillfully handle the tool so that it is constantly in good condition for work. Jamming when firing will disappear immediately after the first small shooting. Test shooting allows you to "knead" all mechanisms MP 80 13T, the store which holds 6 rounds.
Could not please the change in the design of the trunk. Now there are two obstacles in it, and the walls have become much thicker, which made it possible to increase strength. However, the walls of the chamber become thinner, which can cause it to break when using low-quality charges. The number of cartridges in the store has decreased to 6, in contrast to 8 cartridges of 9 mm caliber.
Specifications are as follows:
- 45 Rubber Cartridges;
- 162 millimeters in length;
- 93 millimeters - barrel length;
- 127 millimeters in height;
- 30 millimeters wide;
- The weight of the discharged gun is 730 grams;
- Shop holds 6 rounds.
What ammo is used?
On the charges for this gun is to stop and consider them in more detail, since they are not quite normal, are not characteristic of travmatik. The model, as mentioned above, uses 45 Rubber cartridges. They are equipped with a rubber bullet of 13 mm diameter, which fits in a sleeve of smaller diameter due to elasticity. The weight is one and a half times more than that of a 9 millimeter charge, and is 1.5 grams.
Initially, the manufacturer stated that when fired, energy is generated in the amount of 90 J. In fact, it turned out to be less - about 70-80 J. But even this indicator is excellent, with such characteristics the gun hits the targets well.
We have already mentioned that the chamber has become less reliable due to a decrease in the width of the walls. The only measure not to break it is to use high-quality 45-caliber cartridges. Here, any potential buyer has a reasonable question: what charges can be considered good?
Nowadays, two companies are engaged in the production of such ammunition: Tehkrim and AKBS. In principle, both manufacturers produce the same quality cartridges, but there are several nuances that every traumatic person should know about. The fact is that individual batches of these companies may have liners of not the best quality. However, statistics show that such troubles occur much less frequently at AKBS. Therefore, it can be said that we recommend the use of 45 caliber charges for the store of this instrument, namely their production. But in the absence of such a possibility, use the products of Techkrima. Generally speaking, cartridges in this situation are recommended not by the manufacturer, but by a specific batch.
If you purchased yourself a traumatic pistol MP 80 13Т, then you should remember about the larger diameter of the bullet and the increased area of contact with the target. For example, 9 mm RA ammunition in a certain situation can leave a through hole in the target, while 45 Rubber will only make a deep dent. When self-defense using just such a weapon, the absence of through wounds can save you from problems with the legislation.
Device trunk and care
The barrel is the obvious basis for a traumatic weapon, so more detail should be made on its design and maintenance. Note that with the purchase of the MP 80 13T, both ideal barrels and a full slag are found, which will not be used.
Buying a pistol using 45 caliber ammunition should not be lazy. Arm yourself with a small flashlight and look inside the trunk. First of all, attention should be paid to the walls: they must be either absolutely even. Using sandpaper will kill the barrel immediately, so forget about it.
After that, you need to look at the obstacles that are an integral part of the trunk. Firstly, they should be located exactly in relation to each other, and secondly, on their surface there should not be serious flaws and irregularities - only small notches are permissible, without which practically no pistol can do. Problems with the "teeth" absolutely accurately lead to inaccurate shooting: the bullet will simply deviate from the desired target. Adjusting the sight may help in this situation, but it will spoil the appearance of the gun.
If serious defects are found on the barriers that cannot be eliminated, it is better to ask for the next weapon for inspection. Marriage in the barrel can cause the bullets to burst, which will lead not only to zero shooting accuracy, but also to its zero efficiency.
It is necessary to choose the best option in the store, buy Goya paste and, having gained patience, proceed to a careful polishing of the barrel channels and obstacles.
As for the chamber, it can also be polished with the same paste, if the sleeve enters into it with a clear effort and scratches remain on it. This should be done carefully without using sandpaper, otherwise the diameter of the chamber will be increased, which will lead to bulging of the sleeves and eventually to the final breakdown of the pistol and its magazine.
Mechanisms of the gun MP80 13T
Appearance is very similar to the combat PM. Especially noticeable is the width of the bolt, which in this model has become wider due to the increase to 45 caliber ammunition. The main mechanisms remained from previous generations of Makarich.
The specialists brought out a brief instruction on how to make the work of this gun smooth, so that all mechanisms worked smoothly and did not require effort during firing. The best idea is to completely disassemble the gun, polish all rubbing parts and lubricate them. This should be done very carefully, as is the case with the barrel. The result will be excellent and you will feel that the gun runs as smoothly as possible.
Another option for debugging is regular shooting. It will also help you get used to the pistol grip with its unique heel. This method allows mechanisms to get used to each other. But he has a significant disadvantage - it will not happen soon and all the mechanisms at the time of the smooth operation of the gun may already be loose.
Advice on gun care MP 80 13T
This generation of “Makarych” does not need any super-care; care for it is no different to care for another trauma. First of all, you must remember that the gun must be protected from moisture. And if it is not afraid of rain, then after falling into the water it must be disassembled, dried well and re-lubricated all parts.
After the acquisition of tools you need to remove all factory grease using rags and kerosene. After this, the parts should be allowed to dry well and then re-lubricated. Moreover, the lubricant should be applied as thinly and evenly as possible so that it does not trickle down.
After each application, you should not forget to clean the carbon layer, as it can destroy the walls of the trunk. Of course, it can be said that less soot is formed in the traumatics than in the same combat PM, but cleaning after each shooting will not be superfluous.
After the purchase it may seem that the store is working very poorly. The main problem is that the feeder spring is too tight. You must remember that it can not be cut off, since the already small charge of the magazine in 6 rounds can be reduced to 1-2. The rest of the destination because of the short spring will not reach. Do not doubt that the spring stiffness will pass soon, and it will work more gently. The best option can also be considered as replacing the store spring with a tighter one. If this is not possible, you just need to be patient until the spring of the store is developed after several shots.
Conclusion
Gun MP 80 13T is an excellent choice for self-defense. His 45-caliber cartridges, of course, are less effective than 9-millimeter cartridges, but nevertheless, they will eliminate the problems with the law. Rubber bullets of 9 mm caliber easily pierce even winter clothing and provide a through wound to the enemy, while 45 caliber only pierces winter clothing and strikes a larger area of the enemy’s body due to the large diameter of the bullet without creating a through wound.
Of course, like any thing in this world, the Makarych of this generation is not without flaws - however, they are much smaller than those of its older brothers. It is also worth noting the convenience of the gun to use, in particular, a good grip with its unique heel, perfectly lying in the hand of the arrow. She got a good tuning compared to the old species.
Do not forget also that this type of weapon, loaded with 45 caliber, is already becoming obsolete. It was released back in 2008. Every year there are new types, one better than the other, using a variety of new technologies. For example, no longer used in the obstacles, which are in this Makaryche, now the bore is completely smooth.
In general, the 80 MP 13T was an excellent refinement of previous versions, taking all the best from them and eliminating almost all the flaws. He has excellent characteristics, for fans of all kinds of tuning, he is a real testing ground for exerting effort.
