If you are already tired of playing paintball, and after that - washing clothes for a long time, then you might like sports shooting with the use of military weapons. Usually, if military weapons are used, then the shooting goes only at targets. In some cases, when special blank cartridges are used, you can shoot and not only on them.
Shooting from a military weapon - a little about the story
As a matter of fact, the first rudiments of this martial art appeared in the 16th century, when the first more or less reliable predecessors of pistols were invented. They were all single-shot and could not become weapons of mass destruction, however, it was these first pistols that were able to replace the heavy spears.
The heyday of military weapons survived in the 50-60s. XIX century. It was then that revolvers assembled using the capsule system appeared. Cowboys and gangsters of the Wild West used capsule revolvers in their disassembly. The impetus for the development of shooting as a form of martial art was also the beginning of the Civil War, during the battles of which only those who could quickly grab a gun and shoot were victorious.
In the Russian Empire, the end of the XIXth century gained popularity "Macedonian" shooting: a man took a pistol in each hand and fired at the same time, and even on the go. Without a doubt, military weapons in the hands of the Slavs became a truly deadly thing.
Combat shooting in the 20th century and today
The current stage in the history of the development of martial arts related to the use of military weapons started about 90 years ago - in the 20s of the last century. At that time, street gangs were armed no worse than individual army units, so the police departments of different states had to develop a standardized system of self-defense of officers from bandits armed with firearms.
Thus, combat weapons were retrained from an attack means to a defense method. By the end of the 30s, every policeman in the USA and Great Britain could proudly say that he knew how to defeat an armed gang with only one gun.
In the USSR at the same time, the tactics of targeted shooting were actively promoted. She was good because, after a point-blank shot, cold steel to finish off the enemy could no longer be used.
Many European developments later also entered the training program for the soldiers of the Israeli army. Based on the development of these developments, a style of combat shooting, called "Israeli", was formed. It is he who today occupies the first place in the world in popularity.
The main advantage of the Israeli style is the ability to use such a striking fighter as fear, to his advantage. If other styles teach to control oneself and preach composure and prudence, then the Israeli style requires a person to be just unrestrained.
In Russia today, this style can be learned in special combat shooting schools. Training is possible both in the field, close to real conditions, and in the walls of a computer class. The first option will still be preferable.
