The article covers the following issues: storage, use and carrying of weapons in Russia. This problem is very acute in our society. More and more often in the territory of the Russian Federation there are crimes committed with the use of any weapons.

The acquisition and carrying of weapons in Russia is strictly monitored by law enforcement agencies. In connection with numerous crimes in the territory of our state, the law concerning this issue was toughened. We will pay special attention to this problem. Let's start by looking at the types of weapons.

Types of weapons

Wearing weapons in Russia is strictly prosecuted by law. Regardless of the purpose for which it was acquired.

All existing weapons can be divided into the following groups:

• Cold;
• Gunshot;
• Pneumatic;
• Throwing;
• weapons of mass destruction;
• Signaling;
• Microwave impulses.

The first group of weapons is designed for hand-to-hand combat. That is, it is possible to inflict injury only with the application of physical effort. Although carrying weapons in Russia is prohibited in most cases, the distribution of these funds is difficult to track.

Next on the list is a firearm, which is intended for long-range combat. With the help of it, you can seriously injure or deprive a person of life at a sufficiently large distance.

Pneumatic weapons are very often used for self-defense. Even if you shoot at a distance, you can cause serious injury to the enemy. For proper self-defense, these means need to know the human anatomy. For a pneumatic weapon a balloon with compressed air is needed, its energy and will induce the projectile to move.

The next group includes throwing spears, shurikens, boomerangs, bows, crossbows and so on. Before the advent of firearms , the throwing took the main place in the conduct of the battle. Now these species are used mainly for hunting or sports competitions for accuracy.

Weapons of mass destruction are divided into biological, chemical and nuclear weapons. This species is capable of causing quite severe injuries at a distance of many kilometers. The use of weapons of mass destruction leads to the death of all living things around the epicenter.

Further in the list presented above, there is a signal weapon that is not intended for combat. It is used in various competitions. Special rocket launchers are on board aircraft and ships.

The last group is the weapon of the future. At the moment it is on the development stage, scientists are trying to increase the length of microwaves, which can disable electronics and dangerous objects, while remaining imperceptible. Microwaves are the most dangerous weapon of mankind.
