Voere 2185, rifles

Semi-automatic carbines – a subject of constant dispute among hunters. On the one hand, the weapon is definitely more rapid and powerful. On the other – patterning of semi-automatic by default, worse than a bolt rifle. Voere 2185 – the same version that accuracy does not change.

Overview of carbine Voere 2185

There is a perception that semi-automatic rifle more suited to the beginner: the power and high speed shots redeems a lower accuracy and lack of good skills in novice hunter. The share of truth in it: indeed, releasing the queue at the beast, some kind of bullet you can get. However, such shooting is frankly barbaric, as it leads to the emergence of a large number of wounded.

Voere 2185 semi – automatic rifle, originally intended for use in police forces. Even when shooting large-caliber ammunition – 9,3*62 mm, .300 Win Mag, the gun easily returns to the line of sight.

This opportunity is a series of quick shots, was the reason for the creation of a sniper rifle based on the Voere 2185, which is now used by the Austrian police.

Advantages and disadvantages

The company’s products, which is the motto believes its precision, is fully consistent with this principle. Precision weapons from “PRAZISIONSTECHNIK VOERE GMBH” went down in history. It is how to bolt rifles, and automatic.

• Patterning Voere 2185 lies within one arc minute. Such indicators lead to sniper modifications for hunting within one and a half minutes.
• The shutter is of the type rotary is locked to a third of a turn. The smooth operation of the automation is achieved by movement of the shutter in the grooves in the receiver.
• The barrel is locked on the 3 lugs, which is quite reliable. The ejector is placed in one of the lugs. The barrel runs cold forging. In Russia, received the model only with trunks, the company Lothar Walther. There is a thread on the end of the barrel that allows you to attach a muzzle device – a flash Hider, compensator.
• Fuse, in fact, two: the one that blocks the trigger, is integral with the trigger guard and is made in the form of a plate. The role of the second fuse performs signal pin: when the cocked trigger it is visible and tangible.
• Standard features include open mechanical sights. However, the gun has holes for brackets for optical or collimator sight.
• A distinctive feature of the Voere 2185 is a small semi-automatic carbine weight – 3.6 kg without magazine.
• The bed is made of wood or plastic with a plastic butt pad also.
• Sniper and sporting models have the ability to adjust the height of the cheeks and the length of the butt.

In Voere 2185 have the ability to disable auto shot. To do this, partial disassembly of the rifle need to flip the bolt around the axis by 180 degrees.

The disadvantages of the machine is considerably greater than the bolt of the rifle.

• The same feature of the paddle that provides a smooth and accurate operation, making the rifle extremely vulnerable to contamination. Even after use in a very dusty environment the weapons can jam. The use of force may cause damage to the grooves, so that when jamming of the only way is to disassemble the rifle and clean. To do this without special tools is impossible, which makes the cleaning procedure very troublesome.
• The second weak point – the thread on the barrel. The use of a compensator or silencer damage the thread, and it is fraught with displacement of the axis of the barrel.
• To reduce the weight of the rifle, the barrel produces thin-walled. As a result of 5 shots in a row is already too overheat the barrel. Therefore, the maximum capacity of the shops is 5 rounds, while it could set and store 10 rounds. To the barrel was cooled as quickly as possible, in the receiver there are holes.

Purpose

When shooting with “hands” is rarely one of the shooters can be laid in a circle with a diameter of 12-15 cm, Respectively, the difference in accuracy is insignificant. Given that Voere 2185 fit in fifteen minutes, this model can be considered optimal.

But the opportunity to shoot several times on a driven hunt or when stalking a dangerous beast is much more valuable. Conclusion: Voere 2185 more suited for forest hunting for small and middle distances.

• Voere Model 2185 Hunting stands out among the other models of a cylindrical receiver. The rotary stopper, the rotation is provided by a leading protrusion which slides in the inclined groove of the cylindrical frame. The movement and provide the powder gases in the right quantity discharged through the holes. The latter are placed on the middle of the distance between the cartridge chamber and the muzzle end.

• When you press the trigger the hammer is released and strikes the shank of the firing pin. In this case ignites the powder in the capsule holder.
• Powder gases push the bullet along the bore. They also create pressure on the walls of the sleeve. Correct pressure distribution obtained by the ratio of locking units, and the coupling of the barrel, makes combat mask to go slowly. Thus, until a bullet from the barrel, the shutter will be closed.
• The bolt is moved to its rearmost position.
• At this point the extractor grabs the shell and throws it, the trigger returns to its original position – on edge.
• In the chamber shall be sent the next cartridge. The extractor is engaged with the annular groove of the flange.

Carbine ready for the next shot.

Owner reviews

Despite the improvement of the new modification Voere 2185 did not get distribution: too high sensitivity of the rifle to contamination.

Voere 2185 in hunting modification considered a weapon for beginners: firepower redeems the low skill of the hunter. However, for driven hunt, to ambush the storage shed it’s quite a serviceable weapon.
