Today it is quite easy to choose means for self-defense. There are several types of legal devices used in self-defense against illegal actions. You can purchase highly effective self-defense equipment without a license in specialized stores. It is enough to show your passport and be 18 years old at the time of purchase.
Protecting yourself, your loved ones, you can use objects that do not initially belong to means of protection: a kitchen / household knife, an ax. There is a vast class pneumatic weapon... Effective when used, but not specifically intended for self-defense. You should not get carried away with such things. The likelihood of irreparable consequences is high. It is more convenient and safer for yourself to use specially created means of self-defense.
The list of items for self-defense includes devices that differ in layout, principle of operation and nature negative impact at the enemy.
Gas cans
They are considered the most affordable means of self-defense. Their cheapness, size and ease of use make them extremely popular. Spray cans are being filled chemical compositions providing strong impact on a person, causing burning, tears, coughing. They differ in the type of spraying (aerosol, jet, gel, foam). The place of use (room / street) depends on this characteristic.
An important factor is weather(at strong wind and rain is not recommended for self-defense). The maximum radius of action is 3 meters. It is necessary to spray at a distance of more than 1 meter, otherwise there is a risk of inhaling nasty things along with the attacker. After 2-5 seconds, the bully will feel the work of the gas. The duration of the negative effect is calculated for 5-7 minutes.
These means of self-defense have low level injury hazard. They do not require special skills to use, are easy to carry / store, and are effective when attacked by dogs. But it is better not to use it in rain, wind and indoors.
Signal weapon
Signal revolvers and pistols, as means of self-defense, can only do psychological harm. Scare the attacker - the main task of the "signaling". Another effect of the shot is to attract attention. In most cases, this should be enough to repel an attack.
Without a certificate of conformity, the sale of pistols of this class and ammunition for them is impossible. Weapons with a caliber of no more than 6 mm are commercially available, a license is required.
Owners of starting pistols need to remember that they have weapons in their hands, albeit incapable of physically injuring. It is their civic duty to comply with the rules for the use and storage of these means of self-defense.
Learning to use flare guns is easy. The main thing is to apply them correctly, according to the situation (from a psychological and legal point of view).
Blow to blow
The acronym perfectly superimposed on the function of a self-defense device. Aerosol spraying of small doses of gas using powder charge low power. Appeared recently, BLOW has undergone several upgrades (the caliber of the ammunition was changed, the device was adapted for firing from both hands).
The IMPACT uses cartridges with gunpowder, but it is not fully a pistol. All mechanisms are placed in a wide body-handle (it is also a magazine for 5 charges). The IMPACT shot is guaranteed to reach the enemy standing 3 meters away... BAMER - A variation of PUNCH can do the same already at 5 meters.
The obvious advantages of the UDAR self-defense means include:
- Different types of cartridges (by size and content of the damaging substance);
- Small size and ergonomics;
- Wide operating temperature range;
- Safety margin for 500 shots;
- The presence of a fuse.
For active self-defense, it turned out to be a pretty good thing (an average between a pistol and a spray can) and you don't need to get a license.
Shock and pain
A stun gun is a means of self-defense carried in a pocket / bag, purchased without a license and capable of even stopping intruders with a sound. Electric shockers can completely immobilize the attacker (human / animal) by causing convulsive muscle contractions. These self-defense weapons are divided according to the type of use:
- The blow is applied upon contact with the target (any maximum open areas body);
- Shocker strikes at a distance (shoots with contacts).
Its positive and negative sides both types have. Self-defense by stun gun in Full contact requires some skill. You need to be able to take advantage of the right moment to get your opponent. When practicing the method at a distance, you need to have the skill of a shooter and a reserve of time to recharge.
It is undesirable to use the agent in relation to young and pregnant women (there should be obvious signs), the period of contact of the body with the shocker should not exceed 3-5 seconds, and should not direct the attack to the groin and face.
Shockers are capricious in storage. They are afraid of moisture, dust, abrupt changes temperature regime... The children of the owner of the shocker should not know where the parent's self-defense is. Connect to the network only to charge the batteries.
V skillful hands the stun gun will become a powerful means of self-defense, a serious argument against encroachment on its owner. A person who owns a shocker should take this very seriously.
Raise the alarm
Passive means of self-defense include the so-called pocket sirens. These are special devices of small size that give loud sound signals. They will not be able to harm the attacker in any way, but they can stop illegal actions or distract the offenders. Their main advantage is absolute age accessibility. You just need to pull the special pin out of the device, and it will immediately start making a very loud sound.

Question effective self-defense has always been relevant for Russia. Good physical form and skills will not always help to defend in critical situations. As a supplement, you can consider means that increase the effectiveness of confronting criminals.
Do you always need to make out official documents and what weapons are allowed in Russia for self-defense without obtaining a license?
We study regulations
The main requirements for self-defense equipment are set out in Law No. 150-FZ, Article 3. It describes weapons that are used by civilians for personal protection, sports, hunting and educational equipment. For possession for the most part you will need a license from the list.
For the following types weapons will need official permission:
- Hunting rifles: smoothbore and rifled type. It differs from the combat one in the absence of an automatic firing mode and in the magazine capacity.
- Sports. Designed for trap or practice shooting.
- Self-defense weapon. The most popular are models with limited lesion properties. The muzzle energy should not exceed 91 J. Also, elastic bullets () or special cartridges with buckshot (for hunting models) are used.
Obtaining a license for these types of self-defense equipment is difficult and can take a long time. Therefore, other options are being considered as an alternative.
Legal weapon for self-defense without a license
The main property for official self-defense equipment is to limit their damaging action... Weapons of this type are intended for psychological impact at the attacker and causing minimal harm to his health. But with skillful use, it will help to avoid dangerous situation even before its onset.
Gas canister
An effective and relatively affordable remedy. It is a small can with the function of spraying a special agent. Manufacturers may include chlorobenzalmalonodinitrile (CS) or oleoresin capsicum (OC). The first action is aimed at irritating the mucous membranes. respiratory tract and eyes. OC on contact with skin provokes itching, may cause slight suffocation, cause coughing. The latter is the most effective for self-defense.
Important for the type of spray:
- Aerosol. When the mixture is discharged, small droplets are formed, the direction of which is highly dependent on the wind. Advantages - big square defeat. Recommended for use against groups of persons, packs of dogs, etc. Range - 1-1.5 m.
- Jet-aerosol. Has a shorter range, but drops when sprayed bigger size... It is characterized by a weak respiratory effect. The effectiveness of the action is up to 2 m.
- Jet. When pressed, a narrowly directed jet is obtained. Recommended for use in closed spaces... Range - up to 3 m.
The cost of a gas cartridge varies from 350 to 700 rubles. Most popular models- "Pepper 11-A", "Epee", "Foamy Dragon".
Stun gun
Defeat the striker electric shock with the help of a special device will not cause him irreparable harm, but for some time disorientates, the work of the central nervous system will be unstable. To achieve this effect, you must choose the right stun gun for self-defense.
By the type of action, they are divided into contact and remote. In the first case, the device comes into contact with the attacking active part, in the second, the electrodes are on a detachable cartridge, which is fired off.
According to the current regulations, stun guns are divided into three groups according to voltage and power parameters.
- 70-90 kV and 2-3 W.
- 50-70 kV and 1-2 W.
- 20-50 kV and 0.3-1 W.
Effectively use the models belonging to the first group. It should be borne in mind that when a large number The discharge of clothing may not penetrate the attacker's skin. Also, when using a stun gun, safety rules must be followed.
The average price for popular models varies from 1,600 to 12,000 rubles. For self-defense, most often purchase "ViperTek", "Top-Gun", "Taser".
Household knife
The use of a household knife as a means of self-defense is highly undesirable. It takes professional skill and practice to handle this type of weapon. Do not think that it is a means of preventive protection - the sight of a knife will not always scare off attackers. At the same time, they can be seriously injured, even fatal.
A knife does not belong to the category of edged weapons if it meets the following basic criteria:
- the absence of a point or its placement above the butt line by 5 (10) cm with a blade length of up to 180 mm (from 180 mm);
- if the blade is shorter than 90 mm;
- with a handle less than 70 mm;
- lack of a sharpened blade.
This is just a number of features, an expanded list of which is given in GOST 51215-98.
Pneumatic guns
This self-defense weapon possesses all outward signs firearms, but has the worst characteristics. Pneumatic pistols are divided into sports (without a license) and hunting. It is recommended to use the first models for protection.
The best option is pistol-type pneumatics. A license is not required if the muzzle velocity is no more than 150 m / s, the firing power is up to 7.5 J, and the caliber is up to 4.5 mm. The weapon is quite massive, since the design provides for a mechanism to increase the pressure in the barrel during a shot.
Classification of pneumatic pistols:
- According to the principle of action - piston, balloon or compression. For self-defense, it is recommended to use balloon models.
- Rate of fire - automatic or single.
- The ability to use bullets of various shapes: flat, hemispherical, conical, expansive.
Popular manufacturers: Baikal, ASG, Hatsan, Borner. The cost of an air pistol for self-defense varies from 3,700 to 53,000 rubles. Starter pistols can be considered as an alternative. But they will not cause any harm to the attacker and will only have a psychological effect.
In my (by Dave Scott) self-defense courses for women, I am very often asked to read out a list of the most convenient and effective self-defense equipment... In this article I will just give it, but before that I would like to touch on several important issues.
First, don't be an easy target. Most of the real criminals and just dangerous people, who can somehow harm you, do not want to fight at all. Therefore, they look for simple goals that are easy to intimidate and get everything they need without too much trouble. So that . Do not walk alone at night on the street, buried in your smartphone. Don't leave the bar drunk at 2 am. Remember that in most cases it is much easier to prevent a situation than to deal with its consequences later. But if you are already being attacked or threatened, then you must be ready to defend yourself, moreover, both psychological level as well as physically.
1. Pepper spray
I have been exposed to pepper spray several times during various exercises and training sessions. And I can tell you that this is a very effective thing. But remember that it is self-defense not 100 percent effective. Some aggressors will still be able to act actively and purposefully (although not as well) after using the pepper spray.
Therefore, do not stand still after using it. Call for help and run away from there as fast as you can. One of the great benefits of pepper sprays is that the target doesn't have to be right next to you. Most of these vehicles hit 10-15 feet (3-4 meters).
2. Tactical pen
A tactical pen stuck in the eye, neck or face is a great stopping factor that will surely scare an attacker away, or give you time to retreat. The disadvantage of this self-defense equipment is the need for close close contact. And a physically strong and fast aggressor will be able to block your blow. Therefore, the factor of surprise is extremely important. Sometimes, it is more effective to first feign submission before going on the offensive. And if you don't want to shell out for tactical pens - just get the regular, but with a tough and durable body.
3. Knife handle
A knife handle is a small stylet disguised in the body of a regular pen. As a rule, at one end of it there is a normal working rod, and at the other, closed, there is actually a knife or stylet. The aggressor certainly does not expect the pen to be in your hands all of a sudden.
4. Special "defense" keychain
There are special key chains that can be used as a means of self-defense. Most often, according to the principle of brass knuckles with sharp thorns.
5. Pistol
Perhaps the most effective self-defense ever created by man. At the same time, as with all other means of self-defense, it is extremely important that the owner of the pistol is well prepared and knows how to use it effectively. If you prefer this option, then first find good firearms in your area.
6. Electric shock and taser
Stun guns and tasers can be extremely effective in stopping almost any aggressor. But it is important to remember that these are completely different self-defense equipment... The stun gun can only be used effectively with direct contact, which makes you more vulnerable to an attacker. The Taser is more like a pistol (and costs no less!), Only shoots wires that attach to the attacker and stun him from a distance. Stun guns are much cheaper, but they only stun while they work and only as long as there is direct contact.
For anyone self-defense equipment, it is extremely important to be able to use it effectively, as well as to know its advantages and disadvantages
You also need to understand that whenever, during an outbreak of a quarrel, a weapon is obtained (no matter whether it is an aggressor or a potential victim), this indicates an escalation of the conflict, which makes it much more dangerous. It often happens that as soon as the victim gets self defense weapon how the aggressor quickly takes possession of it and uses it against her. Don't let this happen to you! And NEVER forget that best strategy in this case - PREVENT a conflict situation. Always keep situational awareness in mind and keep yourself in control in potentially dangerous situations.
