Analysis of Existing Samples of Hunting Firearms of Modular Design

Abstract

The paper provides an overview of existing models of hunting firearms of modular design. Modular design allows you to obtain new qualities of weapons. It should be noted that in many fields of machine building, the modularity principle has long been applied, and quite successfully. For example, the design allows a short time to replace the failed component of the conveyor in the assembly shop, without causing delays in production. Composing the future mechanism or the machine (including weapons, whether it is combat or hunting) in a modular scheme will allow us to easily upgrade it in the future as it is used for maintenance. It is not a secret that technologies do not stand still and new ones are constantly appearing. Modularity of the weapon will be an interesting advantage as compared to the modular weapon. In this regard, it is reasonable to begin the research process in the application of the modularity principle with respect to modern hunting firearms. The paper presents such samples of hunting weapons that, in one way or another, give a hunter the opportunity to choose what kind of hunting it will be and what kind of result he will finally obtain. Comparison of time intervals with the number of new samples appearing in the period from 1960 to 2010 is given. It should be noted that both foreign and domestic samples of hunting weapons are represented. This implies the following: interest in weapons of this design is available all over the world.
