It would be possible to simplify as much as possible and simply say the following: a bare weapon is a real combat weapons that cannot be used for their intended purpose after carrying out a number of specific "Improvements".

An empty weapon can be roughly divided into two categories. The first is a blank weapon created from scratch at the factory. Its design from the very beginning was made in such a way that the weapon could not be used for combat or hunting purposes. The second category is a bare weapon converted from combat. It should be noted that the latter is much more common. Barrels created on the basis of combat weapons must undergo a special "decontamination" procedure.

This is a set of technical measures aimed at depriving weapons of the ability to use live ammunition. All of them are subsequently listed in the weapon's passport, and a special SHP mark (“shooting blank cartridges”) appears on its body, indicating that the use of combat cartridges is impossible. Strictly speaking, using special blank cartridges, such a weapon does not shoot, but only emits shots.

Naked weapons have two main uses: educational and cultural. In the first case, SHP barrels are used to train personnel in assembling and disassembling weapons, shooting, and safety. Very often SHP are used not in military units, but in schools, universities, colleges. In any case, this was the case in the Soviet years. The second important area of ​​application of the barren arsenal is historical reconstruction, theatrical performances, and filming.

All relations of a person with a blank weapon in Russia are regulated by the Federal Law "On Weapons" dated 10.07.2012 N 113-FZ (with the latest amendments). Within the framework of this law, SHP refers to a decommissioned firearm, the design of which has been modified to exclude the possibility of firing a shot.

This law permits the transportation and free carrying of bare weapons and ammunition for them. At the same time, it is important to understand that the wearing and demonstration of the SHP in an uncovered form in places of mass gathering of citizens, as well as its use, is prohibited. This is because SHP is visually indistinguishable from military weapons, which means it can cause panic and enter into delusion of law enforcement officers, which is fraught with tragic consequences for various parties incident.

When carrying a SHP, a citizen must always have a factory passport and a certificate to it.
