The Analysis of the Efficiency of Light Machine-gun and Smart Grenade Launcher and Their Possible Uses in the Lithuanian Armed Forces

Part of the Lithuanian military weaponry in the weapons are outdated and the current battle types lose their effectiveness and become just an additional weight. The greatest influence on modern wars makes the speed, accuracy, agility and effective use of ammunition. Light machine gun and smart grenade launcher that is characterized, however, completely different weapons. Both weapons have a significant impact on the existing infantry divisions and led to a comparison of these weapons and the efficiency rating. The problem - is not clarified which weapon is superior and can perform smart grenade launcher projector machine gun all functions and change it. The aim - to evaluate the effectiveness of different types of weapons, setting for each of the different aspects and advantage compared to the use of options as a revolutionary weapon in preparation for the show. Final work object - different types and different functions in comparison with weapons, setting one of the larger advantage. The goals - access to light machine gun and a smart grenade launcher development, concepts and purpose of analyzing arms ammunition performance, according to the technical tactical data to provide the best of these weapons options and compare them to evaluate both arms practical use Lithuanian military units and based on the conclusions of the work to formulate a proposal for the use of these weapons in the Lithuanian army. Work is based on the reliance on scientific articles, experimental results, online sources to find information and expert survey. Practical uses in based and expert opinions on the issue of weapons use. During this work, set light machine gun advantage over smart grenade launcher. The hypothesis that the revolutionary smart grenade launchers can completely displace the light machine guns weapons - did not. According to the experts, projectors will never equal the power of machine-gun fire, fire rate, maneuverability and the ability to use. Based on this work, raised offering motorized and mechanized infantry sections of medium machine gun to replace two light machine guns, and a smart grenade launcher can be used as a weapon to attack the whole squad operations destroying targets inside the building
