Actually, the reason that the weapon remains strong with such power is that the MP 654K is created from the body of a real Makarov firearm.

Why do people buy powerful pneumatics?

There can be three options: sports, training and entertainment. In each case, a different weapon is selected that is most suitable to achieve the desired goal:

• So, if you plan to professionally engage in high-precision shooting over long distances, then you should take into account not only the power, but also how accurately the pistol hits the target.
• When it is necessary to hone skills applicable when working with firearms, there is often a desire to buy a more powerful weapon.
  Often they do this only because they want maximum resemblance to the combat original. Note that there are a lot of copies of military weapons, but not all of them are the most powerful. Usually those pistols that have their own design and are not copies have greater shot energy. The brand speaks for itself.
• Another option is to choose a powerful pistol for recreational purposes. Here, most of all, you want to show off, surprising those around you with the deafening sounds of gunfire and the spectacular breaking of glass bottles to smithereens. When choosing such a weapon, what is more important is not accuracy, but the ability to fire quickly and continuously, without being distracted by loading. And the price of such weapons is an order of magnitude less.

Crosman C31

Air pistol Crosman C31
This 4.5 mm caliber gas pistol is the brainchild of a company from America of the same name (Crosman).

Anix A-112

Anix A-112

Indicators:

It surprises with its characteristics and precision of execution. Over the entire period of sales, Anix has earned a lot of praise and acquired fans of hunting with pneumatics for the so-called “urban game” - rats, mice, crows.

Of the Russian weapons of this class, this is the most powerful air pistol; it is absolutely in no way inferior to the 5.5 mm caliber. The characteristics of the Stechkin pistol are also not inferior, more on that later.

The only downside that can be noted is that the case is not made of concrete, since there are known cases where the gun cracked when dropped from a small height. However, for careful owners this is not an obstacle. Watch the video:

closed not long ago, so sales are now carried out either from reserve balances or already used models.

The price has almost doubled compared to what it was a couple of years ago - you can now find the most powerful air pistol Anix 112 for about 8,500 rubles.

Crosman C31

Watch the video:
Indicators:

This model is an improved modification of the C11. According to users, this version is “more aggressive”, although it retains all the ease of use of its basic device.

The pistol has a good firing speed - the muzzle velocity reaches 151 m/s, and this figure is often applied to rifles (for example, Crosman or small-caliber rifles), which cannot be compared in size with a pistol. Even the VAL airsoft airsoft gun has a bullet speed of 120 m/s.

The C31 barrel is not rifled, so there is no question of bullet accuracy, but the main purpose of the pistol is still recreational shooting. Do not forget that hunting using pneumatic weapons is not officially permitted in the Russian Federation.

This model of the Crosman pistol is unofficially rated as the most powerful pneumatic smoothbore weapon for self-defense. The Walther ppk s air pistol is also excellent.

Crosman C31

The model is pleasing with its external data: at first you might think that this is not a pneumatic gun at all, and a layman is unlikely to immediately distinguish it from its firearms counterparts, without a detailed study.

Read about air pistols for self-defense.

The pistol is quite light, since it is made mainly of plastic - only its barrel is metal.

During long-term storage after using the pistol, even if the gas canister is not completely fired, it is recommended to finish shooting at least into the milk. No matter how tightly the cylinder is screwed on, gas will still come out of it - as a result, after a while you will get an empty cylinder, and this will damage the weapon a little.

Outwardly, it is very similar to its previous version, it is comfortable to hold in your hands - it feels pleasant in the palm. Its price is very reasonable for a good weapon, only 4,000 rubles.

This is about what concerns the foreign market. Among the models produced in the Russian Federation, one stands out from the general background. It is also worth looking at the material about the air pistol, spring-piston pistols and air guns.
