The objective of the paper was to compare values of the muzzle brake efficiency coefficient for a rifle with active or inactive automatics systems.Special laboratory stand designed for investigating the recoil process...
The authors appreciate the laboratory assistance of Goran Simundic and Michael Goodwin for assistance with measurement of the field test results The assistance of final year honours student Richard Szlicht is gratefully acknowledged.
The paper describes field test results of 7.62×51 mm M61 AP(armour piercing) ammunition fired into mild steel targets at an outdoor range.The targets varied from 10 mm to 32 mm in thickness.The tests recorded penetra...
Production of ceramic armour solutions on-demand/in-theatre would have significant logistical and military advantages.However,even assuming that such technologies could be successfully deployed in the field,such near ...

The depth of penetration(DOP)method is a well-known ballistic test method for characterisation and ranking of ceramic armour materials.The ceramic tile is bonded to a backing material of semi-infinite thickness,and th...
We are both delighted and excited that this is the fourth time Defence Technology has published scientific papers presented at an International Symposium on Ballistics(ISB).This particular issue publishes papers prese...
A launching system with novel structure using optimization method is investigated to improve the muzzle velocity of guns in this article.This system has two tandem chambers of which the front one is ignited first and ...
This paper introduces a novel approach for controlling the exterior ballistic properties of spin-stabilized bullets by optimizing their internal mass distributions. Specifically, the properties of interest are the bul...

A dynamical moving pressure structural numerical calculation model using the internal ballistics calculation pressure-time results was constituted and the vicinity of the internal ballistics and quasiinternal ballisti...
The desire for increased performance from guns is driving the charge designer towards charges that present challenges to numerical modelling.There is a pressing need for accurate,validated ignition and combustion mode...
