As the name suggests, the Rival C50 model is related to the Turkish company Canik. This pistol is a faithful copy of the SFx firearm. The Italian company Chiappa LTL manufactures this weapon under license from Canik as a non-lethal weapon for rubber projectiles. The Chiappa LTL Canik Rival C50 features a massive metal slide and a polymer body, which at first glance are indistinguishable from its genuine counterpart. However, all similarities end here.

The pistol is designed for firing rubber and pepper balls of caliber .50, which are loaded into a cleverly hidden magazine under the barrel. From the right side of the pistol, simply secure the spring, insert the balls through the opening from below, and release the spring. The magazine has a capacity of 5 rounds. As with other RAM pistols, this model is not compatible with irregularly shaped projectiles - jamming in the magazine and weapon malfunction may occur.
The pistol is powered by one 12g CO2 cartridge, which is inserted into the grip after unscrewing the bottom cover/valve with a pin. To activate it, simply tap or press the palm against the cover, piercing the cartridge and preparing the pistol to fire. The valve is large enough to be easily tightened or loosened without tools and also contributes to the realistic appearance of the pistol. Upon activation, an indicator pops up above the grip, showing that the weapon is under pressure. To depressurize the pistol, press the indicator inward.

The Canik Rival C50 model is made from metal internal components, which are then covered by a lightweight polymer body and a robust metal slide. The slide is solid and includes fixed , facilitating aiming in low visibility conditions. For optional laser or flashlight installation, a short Picatinny rail is located under the barrel, and the only safety is directly in the trigger blade. The barrel muzzle is threaded for possible installation of barrel extensions or suppressors. The thread is designed exclusively for LTL tuning parts and is not compatible with tuning accessories for Umarex T4E products.
NOTE: For proper magazine function, we recommend applying silicone oil to the inner surfaces of the magazine shaft or directly to the rubber projectiles. Using dry ammunition in an unlubricated magazine may cause the gun to jam.
Maintenance
Since the gun is powered by CO2 cartridges, the sealing rings can become brittle and crack when exposed to the freezing carbon dioxide over time. This can be prevented by occasional application of silicone oil 1) by a spray bottle, where you simply coat the internal mechanism, 2) by applying a few drops of silicone oil to the nozzle of the inserted cartridge 3) by using an oil cartridge (easiest). It’s also not recommended to leave the activated cartridge in the gun for longer than necessary. If you know you won't be shooting for a while, release the pressure by loosening the valve.
