Gun-transformer (and not only!)

A 100% Greek invention can reverse the data in the use of handguns! The Recoil and the way of its reduction. A patent causes a revolution in the world of arms and change radically the way that see and handle guns for thousands users.

What precisely is this element? It is a system of three springs, with progressive, escalated synergy between them, which replaces the recoil spring and the rod of the gun. It is so simple and so easy. What it does? According to the man who created it, Dimitrios Mantas, active police officer and ex member of Special Depressive Antiterrorist Unit of Greek Police, and also an executive of the company, DPM Systems Technologies Ltd, that manufactures and promotes these products, they offer to the user:

Significant recoil reduction
Better control and greater accuracy
Elimination of jams
Better double-tap concentration
Improved Firing Speed
Faster follow up shots

The meeting with Dimitrios Mantas was set up in few hours. And the same day we went in the shooting range to make some tests.

THE TESTS

Two targets are set up, elbow-to-elbow, the place of shot is selected in a distance about twelve meters. A magazine, with conventional spring, is emptied on a target, with rapid fire, for having a measure of comparison. The system "is charged" in the pistols of trial, a Glock 19 and a Glock 34. First shot tentatively, second-third shots on end. Break.

You look at first the gun, and then the target. The first thought is: "Something is not going right". As the pistol functions faster, more smoothly, you feel as if it teases you, as if someone is making to you a pleasant joke. The continuity is with rapid shot, six bullets are nailed on the target, in distances… stifling up to misunderstanding. Seventh veers a little from the "collection", because of the change of body’s poise, on account of the… unconstrained laughter that is coming up! The concentration is telling the entire story! The remainder content of the magazine is focused in other point of the target. The results are alike.

Change of targets, change of pistol as well. In the longer and more balanced Glock, the 34, the level of shot approaches this of a shooting games gun! The rapid shot is enjoyment, the shot in normal rate is distinguished by a word that the morality of our readers us does not allow us to commit to paper…

The first conclusions are that the element of DPM Systems seems to confirm her statements. The recoil’s reduction is more than perceptible and the concentration of the firings is considerably improved. The pistol is controlled with bigger facility, a fact that definitely can improve the accuracy in various conditions and parameters of shot. And the circle of operation (detonation-opening of the slide-expulsion of the cartridge -feed - roll back of the slide) seems to comes out faster.

WHAT ABOUT THE JAMS?
IS THERE A BASE AT THE STATEMENT THAT THIS ELEMENT ELIMINATES THEM?

It is obvious that with roughly 150 cartridges, reliable conclusions about the jams and the frequency of appearance or the restriction of them, it is not possible to be exported. The big «disclosure», however, were the shots by limp handhold, that for those who know, is the most important, perhaps, disadvantage of most Glock models. When you hold limply a Glock, it is almost certain that in the first already shots it jams, it «crunches» the cartridge.

During the test both Glocks «swallowed» the content of the magazines, despite the fact that the shots came off by handhold too much limp, to extend of… paralysis!

It is distinct that it is an element that really improves in important degree the possibility of handling a gun, a Glock in this connection. It is also distinct, that because of the attribute and the level of the training of the man who inspired and created it, that system has been designed and "is forged" for the requirements and the needs of official use, that is to say in the real conditions that it is called to face a police officer, a member of the armed forces. Obviously this element can function as "regulator", either facilitating the untrained and inexperienced user of guns, or maximizing the faculties of the best trained and more experienced executive.

Furthermore it is not accidental, that experienced and very well trained police officers make reference with the best comments to the system, front even this "is discovered" by the DPM and begins to go out more widely.

As the DPM Systems informed us, the system of recoil’s reduction, currently is manufactured for almost all the models of Glock, while is tested – with amazing results – the corresponding system for the USP Compact of Heckler and Koch and that are already manufactured the prototypes for models of other companies.

We will keep you informed about all the relative developments, as the executives of DPM have on the stocks and certain other, avant-garde and much promising as well, ideas.

For one thing, winter is forecasted very "hot".
