АКТУАЛЬНЫЕ ВОПРОСЫ РАЗВИТИЯ СРЕДСТВ ОБСЛУЖИВАНИЯ И РЕМОНТА ВООРУЖЕНИЯ

Abstract

In the process of shooting, the barrel of the weapon gradually wears out and ceases to meet the tactical and technical requirements. The wear of the bore means a set of changes in its geometric dimensions and configurations. The process of wear of the barrels of different types of weapons is not the same and depends on the caliber of the barrel, the rate and mode of fire, while the wear of the barrel occurs unevenly both in the diametrical direction and along its length. The condition of the sur-face of the barrel bore is of great importance in the practical use of weapons. The correct flight of the bullet depends on the condition of the surface of the barrel bore. If the surface of the channel is smooth, smooth, without shells and other defects, then the bullet evenly cuts into the rifling. The rifling fields give it the correct axial rotation, and the dispersion when firing will be small. If the barrel bore is affected by shells, then the bullet in the barrel will experience unequal friction from different sides, so the dispersion increases, and the accuracy of the weapon's combat deteriorates. This implies the necessary regularity of ensur-ing the safety of the barrel bore to improve the accuracy of shooting, which in turn is supported by timely maintenance. The authors consider the information about the available mobile means of maintenance and repair of weapons. The de-velopments of domestic manufacturers in the field of production of new weapons maintenance tools were studied. The available weapons maintenance tools are analyzed. Special attention is paid to the issue of the need to reduce the time for maintenance of weapons and the development of methods for maintenance and repair of weapons with the design of new processes for cleaning weapons barrels that improve the quality of cleaning the barrel bore, namely the vibro-chemical cleaning method.
