Telescopic batons are produced in factories and are designed to equip the police. In Russia, a telescopic baton, which only power structures have permission to use, is an excellent percussion device.
It is characterized by a high degree of efficiency and compactness. The basis of its action is very simple. This is a small tube made of metal.
Only police use
Remember that you can use this type of weapon while being in a close position from the enemy. In addition, a telescopic baton, permission for which in the Russian Federation is given only to certain individuals, is not subject to storage, transfer and use by ordinary citizens. Permission can be obtained by police officers.
Nevertheless, there is still a way out of this situation. If you defended, then you will not bear legal liability. If the police find a club at a simple passerby, then they will simply confiscate it.
Telescopic baton design
A telescopic baton, only power structures have permission to do so, consists of a number of cylindrical parts that are nested into each other and moved apart according to the principle of a telescope. This type of weapon is quickly revealed by simply pressing a button or a wave of the hand. The principle of operation is the same as that of a baton. It neutralizes a person who is aggression towards you for some time.
The telescopic baton is highly efficient. It is designed for continuous wear when folded. The product consists of several cylinders that, when in combat, are extended to a length limited by internal stops.
There are three types of telescopic batons that can be made at home:
- Telescopic baton plastic. The basis is plastic. The striking part is the whip. A metal ball is welded at its end.
- The lock model. The base is a lock that locks the links. The lock button is located in the end part. When pressed, the baton opens. A model that opens by turning is extremely rare.
- Telescopic spring baton. The basis of the product is an external metal cylinder of 2-3 steel springs, which are embedded in each other.
Terms of use
A telescopic baton, permission for which it is impossible to obtain in the Russian Federation, is used in many countries as a means of arming the police.
A telescopic baton, reviews of which indicate that it is very convenient, due to its compactness and low visibility, is used when applying four methods:
- hit on the left side;
- hit on the right side;
- blow from above;
- blow from below.
The movement upon impact is carried out gently, without stress. The hand is slightly pulled. Only when these conditions are met, the impact of a person will be noticeable. The power here is not the point. Pay attention to fluency.
The main condition is the appearance of a baton in the field of view of the enemy unexpectedly. She is disguised to the last. It should be disclosed immediately before striking. The targets for hitting are the legs, thighs, knees, groin. A club is also used against a person who attacks you with a knife.
Model of a telescopic baton of a Czech company ESP
The ESP telescopic baton is designed for professional use by the police and military.
In the manufacture of batons of the ESP series, high-strength steel of the 4130 series is used. The pipes do not have a seam.
The ESP telescopic baton consists of three pipes. It develops according to the principle of nesting dolls. Steel is hardened, so the baton does not deform. The hardness level of steel is 40-50 HRC.
The unified method of making batons at home
The article will talk about how to make a telescopic baton. independently from materials that are at hand. Basic manufacturing methods will be considered.
Do-it-yourself telescopic baton is made from ordinary water pipes made of steel with different diameters. This is done so that one pipe can enter another. To make the pipe diameter perfect, apply the turning of the external and internal circles. This treatment makes it possible to slide the pipes well in each other.
The end of each component is somewhat expanded. The opposite end, on the contrary, takes a tapered conical shape. This manufacturing method achieves the effect of a lock when the baton is opened by a wave of a hand, and the parts are tightly fixed to each other. The segment with the smallest thickness can be made not from a pipe, but from solid metal reinforcement, at the end of which a thread is cut and a weighting agent is attached. In its role is a blank - a tip of a round or cylindrical shape.
One of the tips of the segment with the greatest thickness should be closed with a threaded plug to disassemble the baton. It will also be possible to lubricate, clean and repair. The better the diameter of the constituent batons is adjusted to each other, the higher functionality the product will have. Distortions and jamming will not be inherent in it. To prevent the club from opening, a magnet from the furniture is attached to the stub, which can attract the links to itself.
Classic telescopic baton design
Such a model includes the following details:
- Castle;
- stub;
- first knee;
- second knee.
The basis of the first elbow is a steel pipe, at the end of which there is a slot. A lock is inserted into it. The basis for the second elbow is metal reinforcement. A chamfer is sharpened on one side of the rod so that the second knee does not scroll in the first.
The chamfer allows the lock to snap into place in the slot. She is located at her end. When the second knee is extended, the lock falls into the groove and is fixed in the extended state.
Do-it-yourself telescopic baton can be composed in another way. It can be made of three or four parts. Accordingly, the number of castles is increasing.
The back of the baton is closed with a plug so that the inner knee does not fly out from the other side. The plug can be made of wood in the form of cork or of metal with the presence of thread.
Production of a product on a lathe
How to make a high-quality telescopic baton? Such a tool is made on an ordinary steel lathe . The advantage of this design is that additional turning of internal and external surfaces is not required. Grinding is also not needed.
If there is no turner who can cut the whole thing, you can order it in separate parts from several masters or in several receptions from one. But it will take a long time.
The level of effectiveness of this weapon is quite high. A blow to a limb is painful and paralyzes a person for a while. If you strike on the head or neck, then a person can easily be killed.
Carrying a baton is also very convenient. It will fit in a case from a mobile phone. In order to open the weapon, just take it and wave your hand.
The club will open, and the links will lock. It develops more difficult, since the components are fixed tightly. To fold the product, you should hit the thick end of the weapon on a hard surface. Disclosure of the baton affects the opponent psychologically.
In the case of a fight, it is advised to keep the club on a strap that serves as a secure fit. So the enemy will not be able to knock her out of her hands.
American baton model
A folding telescopic baton of the American model should be no more than half a meter. For its manufacture, it is necessary to prepare 4-5 tubes of 10 cm each made of steel with different diameters.
Make sure that each pipe fits tightly into the other. The inside of the pipes must be sealed so that when opened, the inside does not fall out. You also need a weighting agent located on the smallest pipe. He looks like a knob. A very short club is of little use.
Baton improvement
If we talk about methods for improving a folding telescopic baton, then the upper hollow segment can be covered with shot or sand. This will provide an easy swing. During the impact, the ballast inside will make the impact heavier. Such a club is somewhat reminiscent of a brush.
Also, a stun gun can be mounted in a telescopic baton. It is produced in factories. It can be worn openly. An umbrella case is included with the kit. The stun gun has a minus - it is somewhat fragile, as it is made of plastic.
