Modern Shotguns Trigger Mechanisms Reliability in Terms of Unexpected Double-Shot Elimination
Keywords:
firearm, inertia forces, recoil, trigger mechanismAbstract
The article is devoted to the description of some reasons which lead to an unexpected double-shot from shotguns with a single trigger. The inertia loading of the parts of trigger mechanism is figured out by running high-speed video test shooting. Some different designs of lock-up devices are observed and the evaluations of such designs are given by means of double-shot elimination reliability.References
