Dynamics of automatic weapon mounted on the tripod

Abstract:- The paper deals with the analysis of the automatic weapon firing stability mounted on the tripod. The dynamic model has eight degrees of freedom. Three degrees of freedom represent translation motion of the weapon and three degrees of freedom belong to the rotational motion with the gravity centre. The last motions are shooter displacement and the vibration of the elevation parts. The experimental assessment has been made on the principle of the synchronized record with two high-speed cameras and laser displacement gauges. The method is able to evaluate the possible changes of the elevation angles, firing height, weapon operation principle
