China's Type 05 Police Revolver

The Type 05 Police 9mm Revolver is the first generation of self-developed firearms for my country's public security criminal police equipment. It can be said to be a milestone in the history of the development of police guns in our country. Until now, it is widely used in all provinces of our country. City, county and other public security departments. Within the public security system, it also has a resounding nickname: “The First Shot of the Chinese Police.” But to the uninitiated, this gun doesn’t have such a reputation. Most netizens have a negative attitude towards this. Why?

It turns out that the 05 Police Gun is the first professional police gun developed by our own organization. The ammunition used was not actual gunpowder, but rubber bullets. Although this kind of rubber bullet is not much different from ordinary bullets in appearance, its lethality is much worse. At best it would just leave a little bruise on the body. Not to mention injuring and subduing criminal suspects, it is difficult to subdue medium and large animals. In view of its non-lethal characteristics, netizens also made many jokes, such as "Six shots can't even kill a dog", "Will the suspect run faster because of the pain after being hit by it?", "A gun Throw it with a rope and use it as a meteor hammer. Maybe you can knock him out with one hit?" Wait, wait, etc.

Although netizens’ complaints were sharp and funny, they did describe the characteristics of the 05 police transfer vividly. Relevant departments have published actual use tests of this gun online. The glass didn't break after being hit, just a black spot where the rubber hit. To put it bluntly, it would be better to hit them with slingshots and rocks. So why does our country equip such harmless guns? This has something to do with our national conditions.

First of all, before 2005, with our country’s research and development capabilities, it was impossible to achieve the “separation of military and police” firearms and ammunition like developed Western countries. Pistols are military pistols, but on the one hand, these guns are too powerful and can easily cause the death of criminals. On the other hand, if they make a mistake, they can easily injure their teammates. Therefore, our country borrowed the design of foreign revolvers and invented this Type 05. Although it is not as powerful, it is already a great progress for our country to be able to independently develop it.

Secondly, generally when our country’s grassroots police officers and patrol officers are on duty, they encounter public security cases such as petty crimes, fights, and fights. Due to the strict management of guns and ammunition in our country, large-scale firefights are rare. See, the Type 05 has more of a deterrent effect at this time. After all, the suspect does not know whether there are real bullets in the gun. When he sees the real gun, his first reaction is to raise his hands and surrender. In this way, it is easy to deal with it. Type 05 is enough to handle the security cases. If there is a major case, special operations teams will have to be mobilized.
