Abstract

One of the main principles of the use of force in the performance of law enforcement functions by the relevant authorities is selectivity. It is envisaged to use force, including weapons, only against the offender. Hostages, outsiders and friendly forces are not allowed to be defeated. The tasks of the security forces in the protection of public order, protection of persons, objects and property, in escorting defendants and convicts in courtrooms and on escort routes are carried out surrounded by outsiders and create a risk of damage to the lasts. The use of weapons against hostage-takers violates the risk of defeating hostages or other persons in the direction of fire. Therefore, there is a need for high rates of effectiveness of fire tasks by security forces, which will reliably hit the target and eliminate injuries or injuries to others. When shooting from the hand (two hands), the oscillation and change of the position of the weapon in space due to the contraction of the arm muscles due to the action on the trigger, as well as dynamic tremor have a significant effect on the cluster. The magnitude of the dynamic tremor and movement of the weapon during the descent is influenced by some technical characteristics of the weapon, namely - the length of the trigger and the descent force. The greater these values, the less stable the position of the weapon during the descent. The article deals with the dependences that relate the length of the descent stroke, the descent force and the standard deviation of the coordinates of the hits in the plane of the target when firing from a short-barreled weapon. Based on the obtained dependences, a method of substantiating the requirements for the characteristics of the trigger mechanism of short-barreled weapons under conditions of ensuring a given firing accuracy, which allows to form requirements for effort and length of the pistol and revolver when firing  from unstable positions.
