Specifications

Additional questions

Despite the fact that there are no special requirements for carrying a weapon, you should immediately buy a belt holster, especially since it is not that expensive. The owner must always remember that for strangers a person with a weapon is a danger to which they may not react entirely adequately.

Converting from an aerosol gun to a traumatic one is quite possible, which is what amateurs used before. However, such manipulations are not legal. You can suffer significant punishment, because the actions of the would-be master may be considered as illegal production of weapons.

Design of the Premier-4 aerosol gun

The cassette with charges is loaded in advance - they fit into it quite tightly. The clip is inserted into the pistol from the front - with a slight movement. To pull it out, just press the locking button (located at the top of the device). At the top there is also a front sight with a rear sight, which are cast together with the body. They are not regulated.

In the front part there is a laser laser that is triggered when the handle is not fully pressed. There is a power indicator on the side. Both of these devices are powered by a battery, which is located at the bottom of the device. There is a plug with two screws. They are unscrewed if there is a need to replace the battery.

Product contents

Before you buy a Premier aerosol gun, you need to make sure that the seller fully equips it. The product is packed in a cardboard box. This box has appropriate inscriptions and drawings. Some information about performance characteristics is already printed on the packaging.

The gun itself and additional components for it are placed in a plastic bag. Spare parts include one cassette. Unfortunately, the holster is not included. It will have to be purchased separately. The package also contains instructions and a certificate. Although aerosol weapons do not require mandatory certification, it is advisable to have documents for them with you.

Options and packaging

The box is made of ordinary cardboard. On the dark front side there is the name of the model and its white silhouette drawing. On the back there is an inscription telling about the purpose of the device and its main features. There are also photos of the pistol from two angles and photos of the charges used.

The box opens from the top. From there we remove the plastic bag with the entire set. Which includes:

• the gun itself;
• spare cartridge for charges;
• instructions in the form of a booklet.

Separately, you can purchase a belt holster made of genuine leather or a small handbag.

Principle of operation

The operation of the Premier pistol is based on the electro-pyrotechnic principle of igniting the primer charge. The electrical impulse created by the battery acts in turn on the ammunition contacts.

Detonation occurs in the next BAM. After a simulated explosion, the piston pushes out the cartridge plug and the irritant is sprayed. Contact closure begins with the upper left cartridge. The remaining cartridges are fired in order of priority, which is characterized by going around clockwise.

Rework

It should be noted that modifying the Premier aerosol pistol for injury will not be difficult. Some dashing heads, who were not afraid of problems with the police, did just that at first. Find suitable traumatic cartridges, a few manipulations - and that’s it. But why argue with the law, besides, aerosol weapons are not bad in themselves. And most of its owners came to exactly this conclusion.

And now, if they change anything, it’s the handle, which is not always comfortable for a man’s hand. On the Internet today you can find and order a replacement heel for the little toe, which was printed on a 3D printer.

We’ll talk about the prices for an aerosol device with pyromechanical cylinders of the Premier-4 model further.

Purpose of the pistol

A representative of aerosol weapons is the Premier pistol, or rather its two modifications - Premier-2 and Premier-4. The manufacturer is the city of Tula. This company gained popularity after the release of such models as Ataman, Dobrynya and Charodey.

The Premier device is designed to provide self-defense in emergency situations, as the manufacturer indicates on the packaging. The essence of the application is to spray caustic liquid substances. If the substances get into the area of ​​the enemy’s face, the latter will be deactivated for a long time, as lacrimation, a sore throat, and a burning sensation in the nose will be observed. The basis of the irritant is pepper extract. The duration of the effect depends on the absorbed dose. On average, it is observed within 10-15 minutes. The Premier spray gun can also be used for dog protection.

Device

It is recommended to load the cassette with charges in advance: the cartridges fit tightly. In this case, the clip is inserted into the gas gun without effort. To load the weapon, you need to press the locking button, after which the injury is split into two parts. On the front of this model there is a front sight and rear sight, which form an integral whole with the body. The position of these structural components cannot be adjusted.

This model has a laser center on the front, which fires if the trigger is pulled all the way. On the side of the Premiere there is an indicator showing the remaining battery charge level. The battery is located at the bottom of the gun and is covered with a cover that can be removed by unscrewing two screws with a screwdriver. This is done because the battery discharges with regular use of the weapon and requires replacement. Prolonged wearing of the injury in cold air also leads to such consequences.

The battery not only provides detonation of the capsule, but is also responsible for powering the laser designator that is equipped with the Premier.
