Air rifle Diana 34 F Classic (wood)

Rifle Diana 31 Panther 4.5mm plastic

Main groups: compression system, multi-compression system, pre-pumping (PCP), carbon dioxide (CO2) systems, cartridge-pumping systems, spring (pressure-piston system).
Compression system (single-pump airguns) compressed air is stored in a special tank built into the weapon. The pumping lever is activated once by the shooter's hand. The lever transmits movement to the piston, which compresses the air in the reservoir. The piston is locked in the pressed position. At the moment of firing, the release valve opens, separating the tank and the barrel of the weapon. The supply of compressed air is only enough for one shot.

The shot power is above average, the initial speed of a 4.5 mm bullet is up to 180-200 m/s.

The multi-compression system (multi-pump airguns, reusable pumping) is similar in design to systems with disposable pumping. The only difference is that charging the tank requires several cycles of moving the lever. As a result, it becomes possible to vary the power of the shot and even fire several shots from one charge of the tank. The shot power is high, the initial speed of a 4.5 mm bullet is up to 220-280 m/s.

Pre-charge pneumatics (PCP) systems are very similar to single and multiple pump systems. The main difference is that the gas pumping system is not included in the weapon. The tank is pumped with air (less often nitrogen) to a pressure of 250-300 atm. from a compressor or cylinder. The weapon includes a gas distribution system (reducer), which reduces the gas pressure at the outlet of the tank (usually to 70 atmospheres). Charging one tank is enough for several dozen shots. The shot power is exceptionally high and can be adjusted, the initial speed of a 4.5 mm bullet is up to 350 m/s.

Carbon dioxide systems (CO2 airguns) are structurally close to a system with pre-pumping and a replaceable tank. Carbon dioxide in a certain temperature range has the remarkable property of self-regulation of pressure. In CO2 cylinders, part of the carbon dioxide is in a liquefied state, and part is in a gaseous state. When fired, a portion of gaseous carbon dioxide escapes and the pressure of the gaseous part of CO2 drops, but immediately part of the liquid CO2 goes into a gaseous state, maintaining the gas pressure constant. This will continue until at least a little liquid carbon dioxide remains in the cylinder. Unfortunately, the pressure in a carbon dioxide cylinder depends on temperature. At a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius, the CO2 pressure will be about 60 atmospheres, and at zero temperature no more than 33 atmospheres. In addition, when fired, due to the expansion of the compressed gas, the cylinder cools, which also leads to a short-term (for a few seconds) decrease in pressure in it. In carbon dioxide systems, disposable 8 and 12 gram CO2 cartridges are most often used, which on average are enough for 40-50 and 80-90 shots, respectively. Some rifles use large rechargeable CO2 tanks.

In systems with pumped cartridges (air-cartrige airguns), a special brass cartridge (called an air-cartrige) serves as a reservoir for compressed air. It is similar in size and appearance to military weapon cartridges. The cartridge consists of two parts: a screw cap into which a regular pneumatic bullet is placed and a sleeve, which is the reservoir itself. Along the axis of the reservoir there is a valve stem, one end of which closes the outlet hole on the side of the cap, and on the side of the bottom of the cartridge case, the opening of the primer. The cartridge is inflated with air from a hand pump (3-8 strokes) or a special compressor to a pressure of 200-230 bar. When fired, the firing pin hits the end of the cartridge rod and the rod opens the outlet of the reservoir. The escaping air pushes the bullet out of the cap and into the barrel. The shot power is average, the initial speed of a 4.5 mm bullet ranges from 120-160 m/s, but with a different cartridge design it can reach 300 m/s and higher.

Spring-piston airguns are very simple and reliable. They lack a bypass valve system and a compressed air storage tank. The air cylinder (reservoir) of the weapon is directly connected to the barrel. When the cocking lever moves, the piston moves inside the cylinder, compressing the mainspring. The piston is held in this position by the trigger mechanism. When fired, the piston moves forward and, under the action of the elasticity of the spring and the stored kinetic energy of the massive piston, compresses the air gap between the piston and the bullet. At some point, the pressure of the compressed air of the layer overcomes the frictional resistance of the bullet against the walls of the barrel, the bullet begins to move forward and flies out of the barrel.

Air rifle Diana 34 F Classic (wood)

Characteristics of the Diana 34 F Classic rifle:

Description of the Diana 34 F Classic air rifle:

The Diana 34 F Classic air rifle is used for sport and recreational shooting and hunting. The fact that the rifle is a spring-piston weapon means that the source of power in it is a spring, and it is cocked by breaking the barrel, during which the gun is loaded with a lead bullet. The product's magazine holds one charge.

The letter in the product name - “F” - means that for free sale in the Russian Federation the model is weakened and has a moderate bullet speed, however, the rifle’s power can be increased to achieve a charge speed of up to 305 m/sec. An automatic safety device ensures that there is no accidental discharge.

Aiming from the Diana 34 F Classic is carried out using an aiming bar, a front sight with fiber-optic threads, or an optical or collimator sight, which allows you to install a Dovetail. This model is easy to use, practical, made of reliable, strong materials. The material for making the barrel is weapon steel, and the butt is made of hardwood, the colors of which complement the models of solidity and elegance.

The buttstock design is ergonomic and well thought out, and is also equipped with a rubber butt pad that absorbs recoil and vibration. And thanks to the rifled design inside the barrel, accuracy with accuracy improves when shooting, and the charge speed also develops. The barrel-mounted choke tube improves shooting stability and promotes balance. The release on the product is easy and pleasant, because it is adjustable. The metal elements of the product are oxidized black.

The weight of the gun is 3.4 kg with a length of 1160 mm, while the length of the barrel is 495 mm. The Diana 34 F Classic rifle includes instructions.

Review of the DIANA Panther 21 air rifle

Indeed, this spring-piston air rifle fully lives up to its name - compact, lightweight, fast and accurate.

The model was manufactured by Diana RWS in the best traditions of German quality and reliability. The Diana 21 Panther barrel is made of durable blued metal, 4.5 mm caliber. The diameter of the rifle barrel is 15 mm with 12 clear rifling, which provide excellent accuracy. The trigger is metal, non-adjustable. The descent is free and soft. The sear (one of the trigger parts that keeps the trigger cocked) consists of three plates. The movement of the bullet along the rifle barrel is uniform, but there is a choke (narrowing of the barrel hole) before exiting. Neat muzzle cut (chamfer).

The Diana 21 Panther air rifle is equipped with an automatic safety, which makes it possible to unload the rifle without firing a shot. The bullet flight speed declared by the manufacturer is 175 m/s. The actual bullet speed (“out of the box” after re-opening) is 165 – 175 m/s. The sound of the shot is soft, clear, without ringing.

Diana 21 Panther is equipped with external sights with fiberglass inserts, which make aiming more comfortable even in low light conditions. When installing an optical sight on the Diana 21 Panther, you should select optics on a low bracket (included or selected). One of the most suitable optics models will be the VOMZ Pilad P4x32. The fairly light weight (about 2.6 kg) makes this model very convenient for shooting standing “from the hand” or sitting “from the knee”. The butt of the rifle is conveniently shaped with special notches (to improve grip) and is made of black plastic of increased strength. The Diana 21 Panther rifle is presented among other pneumatic models in the middle price category.

Technical characteristics of Diana 21 Panther:

Type: single-shot, spring-piston Total length (mm): 1020 Barrel length: 410 Weight (kg): 2.6 Barrel material: steel Stock: plastic Sights: sighting rib and front sight Speed ​​(m/s): 175 Muzzle energy: 7 .5 J Caliber (mm): 4.5
