Have you ever seen a pistol with a barrel diameter of 20 mm? To make it clearer, this is 2 centimeters. Agree, I wouldn’t really like to see such a weapon pointed in my direction. A 20.5x45 mm cartridge can knock down any person if shot from a distance of up to 1.5 meters. So which pistol has such power in Russia?
Shaman Features
The Shaman pistol, known to many, went into production in 2010.
It was developed by . This type of weapon is a traumatic barrelless pistol, fired from which unique 20.5x45 cartridges are used, developed by the manufacturing company specifically for this weapon. The bi-caliber property was imparted to these weapons in order to expand the scope of application and to attract buyers. The fact is that the main charge on the 20.5x45 does not have light-noise and signal options, which significantly reduces the functionality of the gun. An 18x45 caliber charge solves this problem.
decided to deprive their brainchild of the electronic unit and various microswitches, as a result of which the Shaman barrelless pistol became much more reliable than its competitors. The charge here is a clip of two vertically arranged cartridges. Like any other traumatic barrelless pistol, the cartridge case serves as the barrel.
When loading 20.5x45 mm cartridges, you do not need to use any additional devices, which cannot be said about working with 18x45 cartridges. To shoot them from the Shaman, you will need a special adapter.
For aiming there are two options: a mechanical non-adjustable sight and a laser target designator. For the second option, a convenient activation system is used: when a person takes the gun in his hand, he can press the laser activation button with a slight movement of his finger. To power this sight, a CR2 lithium battery is used. You can monitor the battery charge using a special indicator located on the left side of the handle.
general information
At the time of its release, this weapon was a very good and attractive option on the market. It would still be an excellent option due to its small barrier inside the barrel, if not for the use of TsAM in the production of the pistol. Not to say that the use of this particular option is critical for the weapon, but such an alloy must be used wisely.
It would seem that this circumstance defines this pistol as “bad”, but this is far from the case. Yes, its main drawback lies precisely in the TsAM, but it has a lot of advantages that can overcome this drawback. The fact is that this pistol is an excellent option for a self-defense weapon. It should not be used for sport or recreational shooting, only for self-defense.
Disadvantages of the Shaman pistol
Like everything in this world, the Shaman traumatic pistol also has disadvantages that the potential owner needs to be aware of:
Lightweight plastic construction. In order to reduce the size and weight of their product, manufacturers decided to simplify everything, including the gun body, by making it out of plastic. Thus, it turned out to be very light, which is why there is strong recoil when shooting, especially if 20.5x45 cartridges are used. Because of this, it is very difficult to shoot closely and quickly. But if you get used to it, it becomes quite real; Design. The design still needs some work. The shaman does not intimidate the enemy in any way, he looks like some kind of toy pistol, although his power exceeds the power of some smooth-bore types of guns; Small charge. Perhaps, if the manufacturer had not strived for an ultra-compact pistol, its capacity could have been increased to 4 rounds, because 2 is not enough; Weak battery. The CR2 does not hold a charge well and discharges quickly with frequent use of the laser sight. In addition, it refuses to activate the laser center at temperatures from -15 degrees Celsius.
Overall, the Shaman is a good traumatic pistol that can compete for the title of one of the best. In Russia it is certified as a firearm of limited destruction. Why is it common among common people to call it a “gun”? The fact is that guns up to 20 millimeters, according to Russian weapons legislation, are characterized as small arms, and everything after 20 millimeters is characterized as artillery. A permit for traumatic weapons can be easily obtained from a special government agency, which has a branch in every city.
Design
Experts, assessing the technical capabilities of the WASP R LLC, say that this weapon, despite the fact that it has very compact dimensions and weight, can be used with great success as the main means of defense during an attack. Although it is generally accepted that trauma is intended for additional, backup protection.
This pistol attracts attention with its small size and unusual design changes. And the original WASP R miniature parts and elements have not even been used in the production of any other small self-defense weapon before.
The pistol's automatic operation is based on the use of blowback recoil.
The pistol has the following design features:
- One of the reasons for the pistol's low weight is the lightweight frame, which is made of aluminum. All other parts and important elements, which bear the main power load when firing, are made of durable weapon steel.
- The guarantee of reliability and durability of the WASP R is confirmed by the fact that many parts are borrowed from the KEVIN ZP-98 combat model, including the frame.
- The original thick-walled steel barrel of the model can easily withstand the use of live ammunition. The protrusions on the trunk are faint.
- The weapon received certification due to its short length, non-standard chamber design and the presence of 2 “teeth”.
- The short barrel length does not guarantee that the powder charge from the cartridge will be used to its maximum, but the resulting energy is more than enough to defeat an attacker (in self-defense).
- The designers guarantee this model the highest accuracy among short-barreled weapons. But it is worth remembering that the low weight of this model increases the recoil (in heavier versions it is not so noticeable).
- A distinctive point in the design is the impossibility of the cartridge case rupturing or the bullet getting stuck. The special design of barriers in the bore does not allow this. They are made small enough (non-specific for trauma), so deformation of the cartridges is almost impossible.
- The pistol chamber is located at an angle relative to the barrel - this is an original solution by the Czech company. It allows you to insert a blunt cartridge into the chamber as efficiently as possible.
The design of the gun is resistant to corrosion and rust, and has a high degree of safety.
Main advantages of weapons
Overall, this weapon is an excellent choice for self-defense in everyday life. The Shaman pistol has many advantages, but the following are definitely worth mentioning:
Compactness. The weapon is very small in size and light in weight, while still possessing lethal power. Its size is suitable for concealed carrying, it does not take up much space and can be carried with you every day; Easy to use. To operate the Shaman you do not need to have any special skills; you can learn to use it very quickly; Reliability. The absence of a power unit and microswitches makes the gun very reliable; it rarely breaks down and does not require regular repairs; Low price. The gun is currently offered in gun stores for $200, which is lower than its main competitors; Bicaliber. Possibility to use two types of cartridges: 20.5x45 and 18x45.
The pistol comes with three replaceable cartridge cartridges, while competitors usually come with two or none at all. The set of all advantages, build quality, and reliability of the weapon completely justify the price of the Shaman.
Priority and main ratings of Shaman enhancement 3.3.5 PvE
Hit rating is simply necessary for shamans, but for mile damage the hit cap is not required, now the hit cap is very necessary and important for spells. I recommend that you gain your spell hit cap with the help of enchants and stones, because in a raid you will receive 3 percent of hit from the priest, and you can eat food for hit as racial bonuses. Draenei will receive 1 percent. Many people think that before they can throw a punch, the car must hit the target, but this is an incorrect judgment. Also, many people think that if they miss, they won’t get the windfury proc - this is also a wrong judgment, since few people understand the mechanics of the game and don’t try to understand it. All hits that are outside the three-second internal cooldown can be rolled by windfury. All your auto-attacks will never proc windfury.
Heist rating - has a big impact on the number of your white hits - 1 percent haste rating will give you + 1 auto-attack damage. Previously, it was believed that if a weapon has a lower speed rating, there would be a loss in DPS, but now practice shows that even a strong decrease in speed in down does not lead to a decrease in DPS.
Mp5 and Intelligence – when the mechanics changed, the shamans’ attention switched to mail items that only hunters wore. According to general opinion, the MP5 stat on gear is useless for enkh shamans
A combination consisting of rage and replenishment, justice of wisdom should not leave you without mana in full uniform of Rogov gear.
Expertise rating – One skill in increasing your opponent’s expertise will reduce the chance to parry or dodge by 0.25%. In total, you need to gain 214 rating points to reduce the chances of dodging by 6.5 percent, which is a good cap for NPCs. It must be taken into account that when attacking from behind, the mob or boss will not be able to dodge the attacks, so always go behind the back. The value of your expertise will depend on the boss. It is forbidden to wait during a cast, so in a fight with the boss Shadow of Aran, expertise is useless than on an elite player who constantly casts instant mashes and constantly hits the militias.
It has been proven over many years of experience that expertise has an impact on special attacks and white attacks because it transfers the bet and dodge from your white attack to damage that does not crit. At the same time, the examination displays yellow attacks as critical, since a different system is involved here. That is why the examination is on the same level as the hit rating.
Conditions
In Russia, the right to bear arms is granted only to persons who have reached the age of 21. In this case, the following conditions must be met:
- absence of mental disorder;
- a person must be resistant to extreme situations and be aware of his actions;
- comply with all necessary requirements for storing weapons so that they cannot be taken by strangers or small children;
- submit to the Department of Internal Affairs a certain package of documents to obtain a license.
Therefore, before buying this or that pistol, you need to clarify information about whether you will be able to use it or not.
To use a weapon for the purpose of self-defense, you must follow a clear procedure:
- raise your hand up and fire a warning shot;
- after this, the person from whom the danger comes will understand the seriousness of his opponent’s intentions;
- You should never threaten another person without a valid reason, otherwise it can end quite badly.
It is also generally accepted that it is impossible to take a person’s life or cause serious injury with a traumatic weapon. But such cases still happen. Therefore, when answering the question of whether a permit is needed for a traumatic pistol, we can always say with certainty that it is simply necessary. Otherwise, the use of such weapons will be illegal, and its owner will be held accountable.
Citizens who are in public service in the police or are in the military are not required to take training courses before obtaining a license for a traumatic pistol. You just need to indicate the details of your service weapon.

Electronics
The Shaman pistol, which we are reviewing today, has simple electronics. And even a mechanical fuse, which in such models is usually presented in the form of a switch, is not here. This decision is due to the desire of the creators to completely simplify the design and, as a result, increase its reliability.
However, according to experts, abandoning a mechanical fuse is not at all justified, and there are at least two reasons. First: modern technologies make it possible to make the switch completely protected from the most aggressive environments. Second: the benefit from such a solution can only be theoretical, since the shutter key has exactly the same contacts that are susceptible to oxidation as the fuse.
The Shaman traumatic pistol has one safety device - a lever located under the trigger button. It simply blocks the ability to press a key until the gun is held in the user's hand. Considering that the firing force in this model is about 4 kilograms, such a fuse is quite sufficient.
