Ruger PC update for police carbines presented in US: human rights defenders criticize

45

Against the background of protests in major US cities, the production of a new package was announced, which should allow "to increase the usability of the Ruger PC carbine." This carabiner is used by the police of the United States, which, in fact, says the decoding of its name: Ruger Police Carbine.

It is noteworthy that the production of Ruger PC self-loading carbines for police structures was interrupted in 2006 for more than 10 years. Then the production line was put into operation again - in 2017. It was officially announced that in police units “there was a lack of effective weapons of such a type".



The Ruger PC is a modular weapon. The ammunition supply is most often represented by cartridges of 9 × 19 mm Parabellum caliber. A 10x22mm (.40 S&W) Smith & Wesson cartridge can also be used.

Ruger PC update for police carbines presented in US: human rights defenders criticize


With the update, it was decided to improve the ergonomics and functionality of the semi-automatic Ruger PC. In the new package - the so-called reinforced-polymer chassis Upriser, which allows you to equip the rifle with a magazine of a larger capacity (ordinary shops for the Ruger PC - for 10 and 15 rounds depending on the caliber). At the same time, the design itself allows the magazine to be used as a pistol grip.

The very nest (“well”) for installing the updated store is removable.




Therefore, the policeman can decide which option to use for a store with a larger capacity or for a regular 10-15 cartridge variant.



The handles, as noted, are made using anti-slip honeycomb structure.

The barrel of the carbine is placed in a special reinforced casing, which prevents a possible burn if the weapon is held by the hand directly beyond the barrel location area.



The new package uses a laser aiming system.

Messages themselves from American gunsmiths that they are improving the carbine for police officers (against the background of the famous incident in Minneapolis and the ensuing protests and riots) have already been criticized by human rights activists. Additional criticism was voiced in connection with equipping a carbine for a police laser target designator.

At the moment, there is no information about how many such “body kits” were ordered by the American law enforcement agencies.

        Amid protests in major US cities, a new package has been announced to "improve the usability of the Ruger PC."

        Instead of thinking about what factors made such mass demonstrations possible, they put out the protests with gasoline, and move the beds in a well-known institution, developing a "miracle body kit" ...

        You are on the right track, gentlemen, imperialists! Yes

          I do not think that one is connected with the other. Ruger just sells a new body kit, which does not particularly affect the properties of weapons (well, perhaps on ergonomics), and some human rights organizations are trying to promote this topic.

                      The presence of a causal relationship does not follow from these materials.

              Generally completely unnecessary crap. In this size, it’s easier to carry a shortcut in the car under a full-fledged intermediate cartridge, but this product isn’t a candle or a damn poker. If you really wanted to use a low-powered bullet-gun for pistol ammunition (well, there’s politics, fashion, etc. nonsense) - there is a lot of compact PPs, you won’t get there, so at least you can frighten the enemy with fire.

                Let me remind you: we are talking about police weapons. Its scope is densely populated areas with a bunch of civilians around. The intermediate cartridge is fraught with excessive bullet penetration and its tendency to ricochets. Well, and how exactly it is "easier" to transport it is somehow unclear.

                "Low-power bullet" has about 650 acorns of muzzle energy, which is quite enough at short ranges (up to 50 meters). And this is with incomparably greater accuracy than in the case of a pistol (especially when shooting offhand). For policeman this weapon is quite enough.

                  This is all worthless theoretical reasoning, especially ridiculous for employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation serving in the North Caucasus Federal District wink The weapons of law enforcement should always be more powerful than potential opponents, such is the dangers - for few heroes die due to couch specialists. And as for civilians - do not worry, the Treasury will pay for the damage if it is suddenly needed.
                  Actually, a full-fledged assault or shortening in the US police car is more likely the norm, and not an exception. Here is the first video that came across

                    It is clear that regional features must also be taken into account, as well as the nature of potential threats along with the likelihood of their occurrence. For example, in the calmer regions of the Russian Federation, the need for ordinary policemen in automatic rifles looks doubtful. The same can be said about the police in many European countries.

                    Well and yes, a pistol cartridge is not always 9x19: if necessary, you can pick up something thicker and more powerful.

                      What do you want to convey, I don’t understand? The available weapons in the law enforcement agencies of the Russian Federation are quite enough to solve the assigned tasks. Any perversions like using a million calibers of pistils and under-automatic machines are relevant in all sorts of games; will get it or not "the enemy.
                      A pistol carbine is a purely entertainment weapon, nothing more, especially in such a "tactical" body kit. Toy for office plankton.
                      For a joke, I even came across a video of the aunt of the policeman - and again the assault in the car was at hand, trouble is sadness.

                        Police weapons are peacetime weapons when there are no special problems with logistics. Better that for 9x19 pistols you still need to carry it. Now our Ministry of Internal Affairs has a whole bunch of different ammunition in use: 9x18, 9x19, 9x39, 5.45x39. It seems that AKMS at 7.62 flashes at times. And nothing, they manage somehow.

                        As for the distance, he already said: the battle at ranges of 200-300 meters or more is already beyond the responsibility of the police. Here, more serious units come into play with other weapons.

      Therefore, the policeman can decide which option to use for a store with a larger capacity or for a regular 10-15 cartridge variant.






      If you look closely, you can see that the window for the store is the same. And no matter which store to shove there. A funnel-type "expander" serves for the magazine to quickly hit the window. Well, the paws are shaking there or you insert them by touch. And this funnel has nothing to do with the capacity of the store.

      Well, if you look at the pistol grip, it is decently longer than the store’s shaft, even with a funnel. A store less capacity than a pistol in a carbine is unlikely.

        to hook-bend-break off not only when the product falls

        This is not an army weapon; no one plans to crawl along with the trenches with it. Outwardly, it looks more like a product for sports practitioners.

        Well, all these holey casings ... fashionable, of course, but not practical.

        It is quite practical: you can fasten additional equipment to any place on the forend: handles, lights, LOC, etc., which is enough for fantasy.

            What does it have to do with it? Security officials do not disdain attachments either, but here it can be safely installed without using electrical tape and nails-weaving. Not to say that it's a killer feature, but it's convenient. Even on army weapons (take the same HK416 / M27), the forend is completely in M-Lock and "weavers".

            PS I haven’t played airsoft, I don’t play or plan.
