ﾄ兄 Vz. 27
The vz. 27 is a Czechoslovak semi-automatic pistol, based on the pistole vz. 24, and chambered for 7.65 mm Browning/ .32 ACP. It is often designated the CZ 27 after the naming scheme used by the ﾄ憩skﾃ｡ zbrojovka factory for post-World War II commercial products. However, it is correctly known as vz. 27, an abbreviation of the Czech "vzor 27", or "Model 27". Background During the early 1920s, Czechoslovakia adopted the Pistole vz. 22 chambered for the .380 ACP cartridge to replace the large variety of handguns inherited following the country independence from Austria-Hungary in 1918. While it was an adequate design, it used a locking system which serves no purpose on pistols chambered for low-power rounds such as the .380 ACP. The reason it was there was that the pistol was originally designed to fire 9ﾃ19mm Parabellum rounds, but after trials the Czechoslovak Army decided to adopt a pistol chambered for a smaller cartridge. It was easier to just change the chambering th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Simple Blowback
Blowback is a system of operation for Semi-automatic firearm, self-loading firearms that obtains energy from the motion of the cartridge case as it is pushed to the rear by expanding gas created by the ignition of the propellant charge. Several blowback systems exist within this broad principle of operation, each distinguished by the methods used to control bolt (firearms), bolt movement. In most actions that use blowback operation, the Breech-loading weapon, breech is not locked mechanically at the time of firing: the inertia of the bolt and recoil , relative to the weight of the bullet, delay opening of the breech until the bullet has left the barrel. A few locked breech designs use a form of blowback (example: primer actuation) to perform the unlocking function. The blowback principle may be considered a simplified form of Gas-operated reloading, gas operation, since the cartridge case behaves like a piston driven by the powder gases. Other operating principles for self-loadin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
32 ACP Semi-automatic Pistols
3 (three) is a number, numeral and digit. It is the natural number following 2 and preceding 4, and is the smallest odd prime number and the only prime preceding a square number. It has religious and cultural significance in many societies. Evolution of the Arabic digit The use of three lines to denote the number 3 occurred in many writing systems, including some (like Roman and Chinese numerals) that are still in use. That was also the original representation of 3 in the Brahmic (Indian) numerical notation, its earliest forms aligned vertically. However, during the Gupta Empire the sign was modified by the addition of a curve on each line. The Nﾄ“arﾄｫ script rotated the lines clockwise, so they appeared horizontally, and ended each line with a short downward stroke on the right. In cursive script, the three strokes were eventually connected to form a glyph resembling a with an additional stroke at the bottom: 爭ｩ. The Indian digits spread to the Caliphate in the 9th ...

1948 Czechoslovak Coup D'ﾃｩtat
In late February 1948, the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia (KSﾄ), with Soviet backing, assumed undisputed control over the government of Czechoslovakia through a coup d'ﾃｩtat. It marked the beginning of four decades of the party's rule in the country. The KSﾄ enjoyed a period of popularity following the reestablishment of pre-war Czechoslovakia. After a successful performance during the 1946 parliamentary election, party leader Klement Gottwald became prime minister of a coalition government at the behest of President Edvard Beneﾅ｡. By summer 1947, however, the KSﾄ's popularity had significantly dwindled, and the party was expected to be soundly defeated in the May 1948 elections.

Silencer (firearms)
A silencer, also known as a sound suppressor, suppressor, or sound moderator, is a gun barrel#Muzzle, muzzle device that suppresses the muzzle blast, blast created when a gun (firearm or airgun) is discharged, thereby reducing the sound intensity, acoustic intensity of the muzzle report (sound of a gunshot) and muzzle rise, jump, by modulating the speed and pressure of the propellant gas released from the muzzle. Like other muzzle devices, a silencer can be a detachable accessory mounted to the muzzle or an integral part of the gun barrel, barrel. A typical silencer is a metallic (usually stainless steel or titanium) cylinder (firearms), cylinder containing numerous internal sound baffles, with a hollow bore to allow the bullet to exit normally. During firing, the bullet passes through the bore with little hindrance, but most of the expanding gas ejecta behind it is redirected through a longer and convoluted escape path created by the baffles, prolonging the release time.
