Kinematic Tests of Small Arms

Abstract

This TOP describes methods to determine the dynamic performance of selected weapon components to aid in correcting design problems. This is done by (a) recording the displacement of gun components relative to time and distance through the use of high-speed video (HSV) or other means, and (b) measuring the impulse and recoil of small-caliber weapons by a laser displacement measurement system, HSV, displacement transducers, or other means.
