Abstract

The phenomena found in the UKM-2000P machine gun barrel during the firing were investigated. The aim was to evaluate how the change in the center of the mass of the projectile being fired affects the occurring barrel vibrations. Numerical simulations were performed in the ABAQUS program, and then the results were compared with the experimental results. The relationship between the vibrations caused by the mass movement in the barrel and the direction of the projectile was determined.
