Abstract

EN With the rapid development of the military industry and the increasing focus on the safety of those in these fields, there is an increasing search for solutions to existing and emerging weapons for the user and the environment. In this case, components for firearm suppression are used to reduce the effects of noxious impulse sound, to minimize the severity of the weapon’s recoil to the user’s body, and maintain important accuracy, maneuverability and other parameters. The analysis and investigation of silencer designs can provide essential values for acoustic characteristics that reduce risk in real situations. The gun silencer analysis was performed in two steps. The modeling processes of the silencer configuration were performed to choose the optimal construction, and the main parameters were selected, including different angles and forms of the tilt. The angle of inclination of the partitions was changed to 60° and 135°. Due to the reduced results observed in the last zones with closed cavities and created additional configurations, the number of partitions was shortened by three partitions and the angle of inclination was adjusted to 60°; the simulation of the initial variant was also supplemented with 135° partitions. The second step was an experimental validation of the optimal tilt angle and form according to the modeling data. The silencer was found to achieve a sound pressure damping value and the sound pressure level during the shot was reduced to below a dangerous level. The search to find the optimal configurations will lead to the parameters of production and efficiency.
