MWB/LB-72 : Gun & Ammunition Design : Large Caliber - Standard & Experimental Ballistics

* Standard Large Caliber Designs
* Standard Ammunition Designs
* Large Caliber Testing Requirements;
* Manuals And Training
* Safety & Environmental Considerations
* Concerns For Individual Liability-Both Government And Industry
* Process, Quality And Production Control
* Safe Handling, Storage And Transportation

OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE


The main emphasis on this course will be in the Standard Large Caliber Gun and 
Ammunition design of systems from 40 MM and above. Some Experimental Ballistics 
will also be covered.
Gun and Ammunition design considerations and parameters will be discussed to 
provide information which can eliminate or greatly reduce catastrophic or safety 
problems. Manuals and Training with the actual systems are absolutely essential in 
order to have good, safe and proper function and operation of any good system.
Actual hardware testing by engineers as well as ordnance technicians (not done 
at this course) is essential for a well trained individual who will be dealing 
with propellants and explosives. It is the responsibility of each installation to 
see to it that they have a well planned hands-on training program.
Also, in these days of reduced budgets, the use of simulated training versus 
actual training will be discussed in this as well as the Gun & Ammunition Design:
Small Caliber & Experimental Ballistics course.
