Theory and practice of shooting from a rifled long-barreled firearm. In 2 parts. Part 2

Part II of the book, which is a logical continuation of the content of part I, provides constructive information about the weapons and the sights used in it. The physical foundations of the design of optical sights and infrared sights of the night vision are set out in more detail. Information about wound ballistics is described, it is described about the methodology of shooting weapons, as well as the basics of training in shooting.
In the 1st chapter, in the most general terms, descriptions of the main structural parts of the rifled long-barrel weapons and the aiming devices used in them are presented. The basis for the material about the infrared sights was published in the time in the "Vestnik MSTU" Article L.M. Balyasny, Yu.K. Gruzhevich and S.V. Shcherbinin "Electron-optical converters in night vision instruments", as well as materials of the book by V.V. Tarasova and Yu.G. Yakushenkova "Systems" of the Watching Type", in which the physical foundations and principles of building modern IR systems are set out in sufficient detail.
In the 2nd chapter, general information about wound ballistics is given to help give a practical assessment of the effectiveness and effectiveness of a shot from rifled weapons at the appointed goal.
In the 3rd chapter, a general method of shooting weapons is presented.
The 4th chapter is devoted to the basics of teaching sports and practical shooting skills.
For a wide range of readers with secondary, primary and higher technical education, interested in the theoretical aspects of the shooting affairs, on researchers and engineers engaged in the development and testing of small arms, and it can also serve as a manual to increase theoretical knowledge of highly qualified shooters of militarized units special purpose.
