Voltran Ekol Botan Black Blank Pistol
The Voltran Ekol Botan Black is a compact blank (starter) pistol from the EKOL Voltran brand, designed for signaling the start of competitions, deterring packs of dogs, or attracting attention in difficult situations. This model is for those who need a convenient-to-carry and easy-to-operate starter pistol that uses only 9mm blank cartridges, so firing generates only a loud sound without a projectile impact.
Construction and Materials
The pistol body is made of high-strength polymer, and the grip panels are made of quality plastic. The slide is movable, ensuring realistic slide operation when firing blank cartridges. The barrel is made of steel and is plugged with a steel pin; from the rear, the pin is covered by an orange plastic plug, which unambiguously identifies the pistol as a starter pistol.
Dimensions and Weight
The Voltran Ekol Botan Black features small dimensions and is convenient for carrying in a pocket or a belt holster. The description text states the model's weight as 500 grams, while the technical specifications indicate 0.45 kg (450 grams), suggesting an approximate weight within 450–500 g. The overall length of the pistol is 123 mm, height is 98 mm, and width is 26 mm.
Trigger Mechanism and Safety
The pistol is equipped with a single-action trigger mechanism: it can only be fired after the hammer has been cocked. The Voltran Ekol Botan Black has a manual safety with a red dot indicator showing the safety status.
Magazine Capacity and Ammunition
The pistol's magazine is designed for 6 cartridges plus one in the chamber (6+1). The device is intended for use exclusively with 9mm blank cartridges; other types of cartridges are prohibited due to the plugged barrel.
Additional Features
Throttle ports are located on both sides of the body, through which powder gases exit during firing. Sights include a rear sight and a front sight. A belt holster is suitable for carrying and storage. Blank pistols are freely available for sale and can be purchased in Ukraine without a special permit, provided legal requirements for storage and use are met.
