Assault Rifle Development and Design Characteristics

U ovom radu obrađen je razvoj jurišnih pušaka od samog početka pa sve do danas. U prvom dijelu opisano je kako je uopće došlo do ideje o stvaranju jurišne puške i što takvo oružje nudi svojim korisnicima. Zatim je u drugom dijelu objašnjen razvoj koncepta jurišne puške od nastanka prvog streljiva, pa do modernih jurišnih pušaka. U trećem dijelu dan je pregled ostvarenih konstrukcijskih rješenja koja se odnose na način rada puške, ali i na vanjske karakteristike koje se mogu uočiti. U četvrtom dijelu analizirane su dvije jurišne puške, AK-47 i VHS-2 te je dana njihova kratka usporedba. Naposljetku dolazi zaključak te kratka opaska na mogući razvoj u budućnosti.This paper deals with the development of assault rifles from the very beginning to the present day. The first part describes how the idea of creating an assault rifle came about and what such weapons offer to its users. The second part explains the evolution of the assault rifle concept from the very first ammunition to modern assault rifles. The third part gives an overview of the realized design solutions that relate to the mode of operation of the rifle, but also to the external characteristics that can be observed. The fourth part analysis two assault rifles, the AK-47 and the VHS-2, and gives a brief comparison. Finally, a conclusion is outlined, describing the process of the creation of assault rifles, as well as their development to this day, and a brief observation on possible developments in the future
