Dramatic scenes: Shots in dispute trigger shortness of breath!

In Vienna favorites there was an alarming incident that called the police on the scene. When the emergency services arrived, they not only noticed a penetrating smell, but also found two cartridges on the ground. These obviously come from a shock pistol that was used after a dispute between two men. According to an eyewitness, he heard the supposed shots immediately after the dispute. As a result, seven people complained of respiratory complaints, whereby one had to be taken to the hospital by the Viennese professional rescue. The police have initiated an investigation into suspected risk of physical security. Despite the immediately initiated search measures, the perpetrators have so far remained unknown, such as vienna.at reported.

technical backgrounds to weapons

The use of shock pistols and the specific properties of their cartridges are of essential importance to understand the dangers of such incidents. As a rule, shock pistols use specially produced cartridges that generate noises, but do not fire real floors. The cartridges often consist of a lead core, covered with harder material such as raffle, a copper alloy with zinc. This construction enables a high storey speed and an improved punch, which is also crucial for the security of bystanders. However, some of these metallic covers can still be dangerous for improper use, since they can generate splinters in the explosion, such as Jagdprofi.de explained.
