In these turbulent times, the need for self-defense is enormous. Someone might say that special government services should protect citizens. It's true.
But such protection is not always effective. Alas, very often people have to take care of themselves. There are situations from which it is simply impossible to get out in another way, except to respond to the attack.
Perhaps, such actions may not always completely coincide with the letter of the law, but life and health are more important than any laws. Therefore, each person should have something with him. Or be able to make it on time from improvised means. Read how to make a self-defense weapon with your own hands in this article.
What weapon is better to choose for defense
In some cases, improvised means can be used to fight off the enemy. It can be a stone, a stick, or just a lump of sand thrown into the eyes.
But such funds are not always available at the right time. In addition, a person can simply get confused and forget about everything.
It's another matter if a person is already prepared for self-defense. He has a plan for such incidents and defenses at hand. In a world where danger can be found anywhere, you just need to be prepared.
And, above all, a person must have a means of protection. Such as, for example, or, or. You can buy them in the store, but it is much more profitable and more reliable to use homemade self-defense equipment. This type of weapon does not need to be registered anywhere, safely hidden and are afraid to lose. And it's quite possible to do it yourself.
Making a baton
The club is the simplest and most reliable means of defense. Easier and impossible to come up with. It can be made from wood, rubber, or any other material.
It's a pretty accurate weapon. It can be used to deliver fast and powerful blows.
As a result, severe damage can be inflicted on the enemy. The main disadvantage of such a means of self-defense is the size of the baton. It is inconvenient to carry it with you.
Accordingly, it is better to use it at home, protecting housing and its inhabitants from intruders.
Nunchucks
Nunchucks are the most common self-defense weapon made of wood. Certain skills are required to use the nunchaku.
They will hardly help the person who took them in hand for the first time. But a little practice will fix it. Nunchucks beat the baton with their convenience. They are smaller and lighter. They are easier to carry with you.
Making nunchucks with your own hands is quite simple. You only need two wooden sticks. Their size can vary from 15 to 30 centimeters.
At their ends, you need to make a hole and connect them with a rope or chain. Due to the fact that they are made of two parts, there is almost no shock absorption.
Note: in addition to striking, you can also defend yourself with nunchucks. They will be able to ward off a blow with a knife or other object.
Sling
This is a very ancient type of weapon. Memories of him can be found in the legend of David and Goliath. But this tool can be used to defend oneself even now.
To make it, you need to have a simple lace. At one end, you need to make a loop. In the middle, make a stock for the projectile. Any small solid object can serve as a projectile. Even a simple pebble.
The sling is used as follows. We put the loop on the hand, insert the projectile into the stock. The other end of the rope must be firmly gripped in the same hand. After the sling picks up speed, the free end must be released.
The projectile will fly out and fly in the direction in which the hand is pointing. Moreover, such a blow will have much more power than if the stone was simply thrown. If a sling is not at hand, then a T-shirt or belt can also be used in its role.
You should always think about safety. Moreover, making self-defense means with your own hands is not difficult at all. Watch a video on how to make homemade nunchucks for self-defense and training from improvised means with your own hands:
Hello dear lovers of homemade weapons. By visiting this page, you probably expected to see information on making a homemade air rifle? I have to upset you - there is no one here now. No, of course, there used to be it, and we talked in detail about how it was possible to make an air rifle with our own hands at home, but, as always, unexpectedly, unexpectedly, a notification came from Roskomnadzor, demanding to immediately delete all information on the manufacture of an air rifle from our website. Frankly, I was somewhat surprised by this requirement. After all, pneumatics has nothing to do with the production of homemade firearms and explosives, which is prohibited in the Russian Federation. Although, maybe I missed something? And now even homemade pneumatics have fallen under the category of prohibited information? It seems that the fight against terrorism has gone beyond rationality, and is taking the form of absurdity.
More recently, I had to delete my homemade flamethrower information. Well, it can somehow be explained. After all, the combustible mixture used in the flamethrower can be completely bottled by making a battery of "Molotov cocktails". I did not find any more reasons why it would be worth deleting this information. Okay, let it be that the flamethrower itself is a terrible terrorist weapon, which he will definitely use after reading my instructions, instead of, say, a homemade bomb, or a Kalashnikov assault rifle, so I deleted everything without any questions. But pneumatics! Whom did she interfere with? Honestly, it is easier to kill from the design of the air rifle that was described on this site.
I expressed my bewilderment in a letter to Roskomnadzor, but I have not received an answer yet. Revision of the court's decision, you need to wait three months. If, after this time, they decide that the self-made design of an air rifle is oh-oh-very dangerous for publication, then, to my deep regret, you will continue to read these lines.
In the meantime, dear friends, you can inquire about other designs of cold and cold throwing weapons by clicking on the links below, or by pointing the cursor to the corresponding button at the top left.

But only in reality, everything happens in a completely different way. It’s a pity only that this simple truth can only be opened by those who have asked themselves to go out on the firearm to check, but it’s good to drink it.
Shooting sport is one of the oldest. It all started with a bow and crossbow, and in 1896, rifle and pistol shooting competitions were included in the program of the first Olympic Games. However, the notion of bullet shooting is full of illusions. Let's try to debunk at least some of them.

1. Only the lazy are engaged in shooting
This is the opinion of some mothers who unsuccessfully tried to instill in their child a love of hockey, volleyball, football, but for some reason he started shooting. In fact, to each his own. And laziness has nothing to do with it.
In classic shooting, a severe static load on the musculoskeletal system is created, so it is better for the frail and weak first to strengthen their muscles, and only then sign up for the James Bond. By the way, that is why it is not recommended to practice this sport until the age of 12-13.
2. Shooting will miraculously turn a hyperactive child into an imperturbable yoga, therefore it is useful for fidgets
It is interesting that coaches and experts advise calm and balanced children to engage in this sport, and shooting statics seems to be a difficult test for those who are too active.
Shooting teaches to control emotions, helps to become more attentive, balanced, develops self-control. Some athletes, they say, can, like yogis, lower their pulse so that it does not interfere with shooting. Really?
3. This is one of the easiest sports in which physical effort is minimized.
Some put it this way: know pull the trigger - only accuracy is needed. In reality, everything looks different: for 5-6 hours in a row, the shooter repeatedly lifts the rifle, which weighs about 8 kg. An athlete loses 2-3 kg in one exit! Who wanted to lose weight there?
4. Is it a sport?
Shooting classes include general physical training. The guys run, pull up, do push-ups. Shooting will not only harm a strong body. Remember the shooter's stand? The arch of the back is quite strong. Imagine the load on the spine if the posture does not change for an hour and a half. Exercise from other sports, swimming, yoga will help keep you healthy. So the classes are not limited to the shooting range, and the athlete develops harmoniously.
5. No need to think: bang-bang - and you're done
But abroad, shooting is classified as a psychological sport. Much depends on the inner state of the athlete, on self-control. A shooter with a weapon is a subtle system. As with chess, pre-thinking is very important. This programs attention directed both to your internal state (muscle tone, stance stability, state of readiness), and to an external target (position of the front sight relative to the aiming point).
The theoretical foundations are easy to understand, it is difficult to work on yourself. Aiming is definitely also easy, but it's incredibly difficult to sort out your thoughts. The point is not to hit the bull's-eye, but to repeat this result forty times in a row, and for this you need to control the smallest movement of the body and everything that happens in the head.
6. Anyone can do it - there would be a desire
However, like any other sport, bullet shooting has contraindications. These are diseases of the nervous, muscular and endocrine systems, mental illness, epilepsy, deformation of bones and joints, heart defects and hypertension, blood diseases and some visual defects.
7. Bullet shooting is the most dangerous sport
Although the weapon itself is very dangerous, accidents are almost impossible due to the trainer's continuous work on safety. For example, here are some rules: always treat your weapon as if it were loaded and do not point it where you will not shoot, do not put your finger on the trigger until you are ready to fire. Their observance allows for the safety comparison of shooting with chess.
8. There will always be enough cartridges
This is the sin of almost all famous fighters - endless patrons. The second main hero can fire a gun from a gun without interruption for 2 to 3 minutes. For information - the most "voluminous" gun shop can hold up to ЗЗ-x cartridges, at an average speed of this will last for a second З0.
In addition, a "sniper" rifle, when one shot - one shot, no more than an unattainable ideal. The carriages will fly away much faster than you would like. And if you remember that in some countries, according to the law, the gun cannot be charged more than 10 cartridges, then it’s not interesting at all. Until then, until you have learned a useful habit to use your pair of spare stores and change them technically. This is the only thing that you also need to learn. And take into account what to act will come in all extreme conditions.
By the way, more than three stores with you is best not to hit - it's useless. If you haven’t put the machine in for all this time, then you will have problems with your hands. And if they are stupid a lot, then the problems are already from a different category of complexity, in which the gun can only extend the air.
9. Shooting with a pistol at the limbs
As the films are taken into account - a bullet in the knee will reliably calm the enemy. But only in this wheel, one must still do it. A gun from a gun in a strategic situation, it is possible to do it yourself. Multiply it by the complexity of the arrow on a moving target, and then increase it by another 10 times, since it’s quite a small point. This is really difficult, although it is possible. But even the specialists have taken this into account for a long time, but it’s not a fact that they can then be used in real combat conditions. So, alas, the arrow is, by the end, not a solution to all problems.
10. Pistols with polymer barrel are not visible by safety scanners
What can I say, "polymer weapons" are really worse visible on x-rays than weapons with a metal body. But you can still see them! The contour of the pistol (to put it mildly, characteristic) is still translucent.
In addition, even polymer pistols have metal parts: a drum, a bolt, a trigger. So how can you not find them? So what if they have lightweight polymer cases. Contours and metal parts won't go anywhere.
He talks about the peculiarities of shooting as a sportDARIA ZAKHAROVA (analytical chemist, 23 years old):
“I came to this sport quite recently: I have been practicing for only two months. I got it by accident. Walking with a friend, she offered to "go shoot" at the competition. I spoke and got good results. The coach advised me to go to the section. I caught fire - it was very interesting to try. And here I am.
The theoretical foundations are easy to understand, it is difficult to work on yourself. Aiming is definitely also easy, but it's incredibly difficult to sort out your thoughts. The point is not to hit the bull's-eye, but to repeat this result forty times in a row, and for this you need to control the smallest movement of the body and everything that happens in the head. Can you imagine how you can achieve such a stable, predictable result?
Only by total self-control. So I took aim and inhaled at the wrong time - and that's it, the result is not the same. Or she pulled the trigger not directly, but slightly to the right. Or she moved her jaw a little - and the rifle was pressed to my cheek. And before the shot itself, it generally starts to twitch. The shooter needs to keep all these moments under control, to work with his nervous system.
Muscles must be developed to be obedient. And a static pose, when you have no right to even the slightest movement ... Not everyone can stand this. It is no coincidence that Olympic shooting champions swam, ran, pulled themselves up - physical fitness was the strongest.
After training, the shooter should analyze what went wrong, why the result was lower than expected. Without this, you will not be able to improve your performance. An amazing sport. "
On the forums experienced shooters share their understanding the advantages of this particular sport.
- There is no age limit. A seventy-year-old shooter won the gold medal in a 100-year-old competition. Here, a lot is decided by endurance, patience, and adolescents often lack these qualities. When learning to shoot, it doesn't matter if the person learns quickly, it all depends on the ability to focus.
- This Olympic sport, you can conquer Olympus - there is something to strive for.
- Shooting teaches to control emotions, helps to become more attentive, balanced, develops self-control... Some athletes, they say, can, like yogis, lower their pulse so that it does not interfere with shooting. Really?
- Like any other sport, bullet shooting fosters character, strengthens willpower, endurance, disciplines... Teaches responsibility: lack of assembly can cost the life of another person.
- Working with weapons develops an eye, a makes the hand firm.
- Shooting classes give experience that can be claimed, if not in an emergency (we hope this will not happen), then in entertainment, for example, hunting.
- This interesting hobby with a halo of detective romance. It is especially cool if a girl is engaged in shooting.
It seems like the fun of shooting is happening inside, not outside. This training of the psyche creates from the athlete the most accurate mechanism that produces the most accurate shot at any time, anywhere, in any condition. You can't say more precisely.
Finding yourself alone with nature, you have to survive by getting food with the help of improvised means. It is good if you have a cold weapon or a hunting rifle with you. Once in a situation where there is neither one nor the other, you can make a weapon out of wood with your own hands.
Almost any weapon can be made from wood: a bow, a crossbow for hunting, a knife, a spear, a spear, a slingshot, an ax, and even a gun. More details on how to make a weapon out of wood are discussed below.
Homemade knife, wooden
The choice of material for the manufacture of weapons is a very important task.
- Birch is a durable and unyielding material; it is better to make clubs from it.
- Aspen, poplar and pine are softer and lend themselves well to various types of processing.
- But the most suitable for homemade wood is oak. Oak wood is well processed, light in weight, durable, does not lose its characteristics over time.
Before making a workpiece, you need to choose a material that does not contain knots, rotten areas, curvatures, fiber heterogeneity, then dry it without exposure to direct sunlight. When the material is ready, a weapon blank is produced.
DIY wooden slingshot
Slingshot The simplest wood weapon is a slingshot. With the help of this throwing weapon, you can hunt birds and small game, and for the manufacture you need a minimum of materials - a strong elastic band or tourniquet, and a branch with a fork (it is better to use a hazel tree).
The fork is cut from the main part of the barrel of the desired size, sanded, a tourniquet is attached to both ends. For reliability, small cuts can be made at the ends of the slingshot so that the tourniquet does not slip.
Wooden club
A weapon similar in simplicity is a wooden club. The disadvantage of this projectile is that it requires a short distance to use it, which can be very difficult while hunting. To make a club, you need to use a young tree, cut down closer to the root, where the wood is most durable. The bark, all knots, is carefully removed from the surface of the workpiece, it is soaked in water for a day, then dried over a fire until black, which is then removed by grinding with sand and grass. This procedure needs to be done several times, as a result of which a strong club is obtained that does not rot.
DIY wood knife
Knives made of wood An equally difficult homemade weapon is a wooden knife. It can be cut in one piece from a wooden block, or it can be made of two parts. To do this, you need to draw a sketch of the workpiece on wooden blocks, then cut it out with a hacksaw. After that, both parts are glued together into a single whole. If the manufacture of a wooden knife is carried out in field conditions, then, as a rule, there is nothing to glue the component parts with. Therefore, it is cut from a solid block.
The blade sharpens well and is carefully sanded, after which it must be burned on fire, giving it strength. If possible, you can make a varnish on the knife, then moisture will not be afraid of it.
Wooden bow and crossbow
A bow or crossbow is an effective weapon in the forest, made of wood. There are many video examples of making a crossbow that describe the whole process in detail. First, the body of the crossbow with a groove for the arrow is cut out. An arc will be attached at one end of the body, a trigger will be made at one third of the other end. It is better to make an arc from several layers of plywood glued to each other, which bend after drying. You can make it out of metal. At both ends of the bow of the crossbow, holes must be made for attaching the bowstring. The arc is attached to the body with a strong rope, if it is not at hand - with a wire. The bowstring is attached to the arc in such a way that it closely passes over the body, but does not touch it. The task of the trigger is to grab the bowstring and release it abruptly. The structure of the mechanism can be made in the form of a wide arc or a complex system of hooks.
Arrows for a crossbow are made of resilient wood, they are given a cylindrical shape, after which they are polished. The tip can be made of wood, metal or stone.
It is possible to make not only "cold" weapons from wood. You can make something like a pistol or a gun, but you need to understand that it will not last long. The algorithm for making a pistol is simple: you need to make a frame from wood to which the barrel is attached, as well as a trigger with a striker, you can add a magazine. A metal tube is used as a barrel.
It is difficult to make a full-fledged pistol out of wood, but you can make a dart-shooter, which will become a full-fledged hunting projectile. In order to make it, you need to cut out a cylinder from an empty aerosol can, into which a piston, carved from wood, is inserted. To ensure normal frictional force, a rubber skirt is attached to the piston. Next, the stem is made using a large nail and a spring. Inside the wooden frame, you need to make a hole in which the cylinder with the piston is placed. The trigger mechanism is made similarly to a crossbow, in more detail the installation process can be found in the video. The barrel of a dart gun needs to be made using a metal tube, and for darts, nails.
Children of the 90s generation did not have newfangled toys and computer games, but they had a violent imagination that allowed them to come up with incredible ways of entertainment. The pets had something from which to shoot or set fire. Although these entertainments were considered favorite among children during perestroika, many of them could be harmful to health and even lead to death.
Slingshots
Who remembers homemade slingshots? They were of two types - classic and keyed. The classic ones were cut from a thick hazel branch with a fork, a wide gray plait was bought at a pharmacy, a piece of leather was obtained (you could secretly cut out of a travel bag at home and dump it on your sister) and everything was fastened with copper wire or blue electrical tape.
Such a slingshot was charged with smooth pebbles, which were often brought into the yards along with sand or unripe berries, such as rowan, plum or cherry, which grew to their hearts content. The power of a shot with a stone was sometimes enough to smash a champagne bottle from 3 meters to smithereens. Such a slingshot was appreciated due to the fact that not everyone had the skills and funds to create it. It could be exchanged for other valuables such as Turbo, CinCin and Final90 earbuds.
Walking and having nothing to do, it was possible to make a simpler slingshot - a keyed one. To do this, at the dump, it was necessary to find a thick braided aluminum wire and find a bundle. As a rule, there were no problems with the latter - it was easily extracted from the elastic of the panties. The newer the panties, the better the flagellum. From all this, something like this was collected (in the photo on the left). Such a slingshot shot with dowels - pieces of copper or aluminum wire bent into a horseshoe.
Self-arrows
The heavier version of the slingshot was the crossbow. A wooden clothespin was attached to the board, and an elastic band was attached to the other end so that a "loop" was obtained, the saddle of which just fell on the clothespin. With the necessary stretching, of course. A "bullet" was put into the loop of the elastic band, the elastic was stretched and clamped into a clothespin. When the clothespin was pressed, a shot was fired. They shot all the same rowan, peas, peppercorns or pellets.
Samopal
The most advanced version was called samopal. This is closer to real firearms. A thick-walled metal tube was sealed at one end (flattened and refilled with lead), a 1mm hole was drilled near the blind end. The tube was attached to a wooden bed, usually in the form of a pistol (again, sometimes the same chair leg was used). With the help of a ramrod, they drove "sulfur" from matches, a wad and a sub-caliber homemade lead bullet into the tube. The shot was fired when a special shock frame, released by the trigger, hit the head of a stud inserted into a small hole. The bullet had a very serious destructive power - 15 match heads in a 4mm barrel drove a bullet of 5 centimeters into a tree. It was better not to hit the police with a crossbow ...
Match shooter
Another lightweight weapon was a match-shooter. It was made of wooden clothespins, do you feel the usefulness of this Soviet device ?. He fired with ordinary or burning matches about 10 meters. To make it, a wooden clothespin was disassembled, a place for a spring (from the same clothespin) was drilled with a file, a "trunk" was pierced, a spring was put on one of the halves, the halves were connected by reverse sides and rewound with electrical tape. The spring played the role of both the trigger and the pusher at the same time. Sometimes a piece of “chirkash” from a matchbox was fixed on the “barrel” so that the match would light up itself at the moment of the shot. More often than not, they simply carried a box at it and immediately fired.
Dart
The game "darts" was probably not played only by the lazy, we also loved to throw darts in childhood. But they just didn't sell them or they cost a lot of money. Therefore, almost any boy in our yard could make it himself. The dart in its flight and sticking qualities turned out to be no worse than the factory one. A piece of paper, 4 matches, a needle, stationery glue and thread. A homemade target from a notebook sheet was hung on the wall carpet and played.
Pistons
Who had such a revolver that shot such pistons? But it was more interesting to shuffle something sharp over brown spots and watch them ignite. Or it is even more interesting to roll a roll from a strip of a piston and hit it with a hammer. Tinnitus for 10 minutes was guaranteed!
Who sees the connection?
Bolt scarecrow
And here?
I think our generation can easily explain the connection between these objects. They hammered the dowel into the asphalt with a brick, took it out, crumbled matches into the hole, inserted the dowel and threw a brick on top ... Boo! and a piece of asphalt was gone ... :) The matches cost 1 kopeck per box and were freely bought in the store.
And these are already "rockets"
Slate in the fire
I think you can easily remember what happens to the slate in the fire :) That's right, nothing good - it shoots hard. In pieces.
Lamps and CRTs
It was a sin not to break the fluorescent lamp thrown into the trash. They crashed with a loud bang, if you throw the lamp on the asphalt with its butt end. They didn't think about ecology then ...
But this find in the garbage was extremely rare and always brought great joy to the boys. Lots were cast who would be the first to throw a brick into the upper lamp (the beam gun of the picture tube). She was the most vulnerable point of the picture tube. When the lamp broke, the picture tube collapsed inward due to the internal vacuum with a very dull pop echoing in the courtyards. Neighboring boys immediately ran to see this action. But more often we found picture tubes with a broken lamp ...
Siphon cans
Used cartridges for carbonation devices (siphon) also sometimes went into business. They were stuffed with sulfur from matches and closed the hole with a bolt. Then the hellish device was thrown into the fire ... I must say that this thing was the most dangerous invention of the yard boys. Personally, I have never made such a balloon. And categorically I do not advise others.
Magnesium
We mixed the magnesium crushed with a file into powder in a certain proportion with potassium permanganate, which cost a penny at the pharmacy and wrapped in a tight paper bag, wrapping it with adhesive tape. They made a hole and screwed a match to it, so that the sulfur head was exactly in the hole. They struck a match on the boxes and threw it abruptly aside. The package exploded with a deafening noise and a bright flash.
Knives
In my opinion, every boy in his childhood had a folding knife, which was a source of pride. With the help of it they played in "zelemka", "tanchiki". Each game had a variety of rules. For example, "land": they drew a circle, divided it equally by the number of participants. Each got up to his own site. Then, while standing, they stuck a knife into the enemy's area and cut off a piece from his ground. "Infected" (not stuck in) - the move passed to another. And so, according to one rule, you had to stay on your land all the time as long as you could. According to others, it was possible to stand outside, but in the event of a catastrophic decrease in your area, the enemy offered you to stand for 3 seconds on it. If you can't resist, you drop out. You could even stand on tiptoe of one leg - the main thing is to hold out for 3 seconds.
Carbide
Who remembers magic stones with a specific smell that bubble in water? Carbide is a joy for the one who found it, for the whole day! When combined with water, it reacted and gave off a wonderful gas, acetylene. It is remarkable in that it burns well. In whatever form was not used carbide. And they just threw it into a puddle, setting it on fire. And they warmed their hands, squeezing the carbide in the palm, immersed in a puddle. And they put it in bottles of water, plugging it with a cork ...
But the most efficient use of carbide was the hand cannon. They took an empty can of deodorant or "Dichlorvos", cut off its neck, made a hole at the bottom, put carbide inside, spat profusely on it, plugged all the holes, shook it for a minute, opened it and brought the burning match to the small hole ... ZALP! !! :)
Smoke
It is absolutely true - only our generation knows what is the connection between a child's tumbler or a tennis ball ...
But we know what will happen if pieces of this special, magical plastic are wrapped in foil or newspaper, set on fire and extinguished ... How many nerves the uncles spent in garages when such a miracle flew to them from the roof ...
Lead
How much in this word, for the heart of the child has merged ... And merged in the literal sense of the word. Remember how we scoured the garages, searched the car dump in search of old batteries?
They split them and mined pure lead. The dried electrolyte was gouged out and the soft metal was crumbled into a tin can or bowl.They made a fire and waited for the liquid metal to sparkle in the jar.
And then they did whatever their heart desires!
