Abstract

Purpose. To develop a methodology for calculating the effective value of the recoil force of automatic small arms in order to objectively assess its impact on firing efficiency, motion parameters, and stability of combat platforms.

Method. An analytical approach based on the principles of internal ballistics, mathematical description of impulse loads, systems analysis, and algorithmic modeling.

Findings. A methodology for determining the effective value of recoil force has been developed. The dependence of this indicator on caliber, rate of fire, shot duration, maximum powder gas pressure, and the coefficient of utilization of the barrel working volume has been established.

Practical value of the study. The proposed methodology can be applied to justify the selection of automatic weapon systems for combat platforms with specified mass and dimensional characteristics, as well as in the design and modernization of weapon systems.

Paper type. Scientific and applied (methodological) article.
