Bang-bang — oh-oh-oh! TOP 5 safes for storing weapons and ammunition

Safes in the range of products of the Kharkiv company Ferocon have a special honorable role - they form the backbone of the brand's products. Owners of a small arsenal of small arms will like the Vertex model, designed to store one gun up to 129 cm long and a set of ammunition for it.

A door with a metal thickness of 1.2 mm leads to the main compartment of the safe, which is locked simultaneously with a key and an electronic combination lock. The latter is powered by four "AA" batteries, which require periodic replacement in order to avoid unpleasant situations associated with the inability to unlock the door due to dead batteries.

The interior space of the Ferocon Vertex, although small, is well-organized: it has a lodgement for weapons, over-the-door pockets for small things, a tray for storing cartridges, a comb for ramrods and a frame for hunting knives. Hinges are also hidden inside, ensuring the opening of the safe door at an angle of up to 90 °.

There is not much to say about the security of the safe from hacking - the “bear cub” will be able to open it in just a couple of minutes. Moreover, the product is easy to carry alone, which is facilitated by its light weight (15.5 kg).
