Manual on small business - a manual on the use of small arms and optical weapons

Each army needs capable soldiers. Naturally, they must be able to shoot, but still hit the target. In order for the exercises to be effective, it is necessary to combine theory and practice. To help the instructor and the soldiers there is such a wonderful thing, as an instruction on small business. This instruction, compiled for any weapon that is released in the USSR and Russia, allows you to independently learn the technique and better understand the mentor. The fact that these manuals were compiled and published in 1970 is of no great importance. They are still relevant today for those who need to study small arms in perfection.

What is the manual on shooting

These instructions are an official document compiled by the specialists of the Ministry of Defense. Compilations with instructions are published in various formats - these are general provisions, and instructions for each type of weapon separately. They contain basic information on ballistics, the design of each weapon, the conditions for their use, maintenance and storage, methods and rules of shooting. With these instructions, you can thoroughly study the theory of small business, learn how to collect, disassemble and store personal weapons.

Before picking up a pistol, rifle or machine, it is necessary to study the instruction on small business in the part of information on internal and external ballistics, the scattering of bullets during shooting and the actual shooting. This will help to understand which weapons are best used for these specific conditions and goals.

Purpose and combat characteristics

Each type of technical means used to destroy living and non-living purposes has a specific purpose. Accordingly, it is necessary to know their properties. Only in this case the set goals will be effectively implemented. For example, the manual on small business (AKM) describes not only the construction of the Kalashnikov assault rifle and the principle of its operation. In this manual, it is described as a weapon from which you can fire, in any convenient position - standing, lying, from the knee, from the trench, fortified firing point. In this case, it is not recommended to choose a position for firing at a hill. But in the manual for Dragunov's sniper rifle it is said that when shooting from this weapon, you can choose the point for conducting fire both on the hill and in the trench.

Storage and Care

In order for the weapon to be always ready for its intended use, it requires special care and storage. Cleaning of pistols or machine guns is performed before and after shooting, and for occasional use - at least once a week. The same is recommended by the instruction on small business (PM) to make with a pistol Makarov.

Lubricant does not allow moisture to fall on metal parts of weapons that are susceptible to corrosion. Therefore, it is recommended to conduct it immediately after cleaning. Manual on small business recommends the use of rifle grease and a solution of RFS. Before cleaning and lubricating any weapon, it is necessary to prepare materials and accessories, then disassemble it.

There are various instructions for storing instructions. Any weapon when moving should be put on the fuse. In places where the military unit is permanently stationed, certain places are allocated for storage. Kalashnikov assault rifles are stored in a discharged form in a pyramid. Manual on small business (SVD) provides a separate special compartment for storing optical sights in casings, shops, accessories and bags. For carabiners a pyramid stand is used.

Inspection and preparation for shooting

Any weapon should be inspected regularly. This is done in order to exclude its inoperability in combat conditions: on duty, on guard, in combat. But for the Kalashnikov assault rifle, the manual on the shooting case (AK) recommends that inspections be carried out even if it is not planned to use it in the near future. The same goes for the SCS carbine. It is necessary to check the gun for rust, dirt, scratches, dents for the timely replacement of parts and components.

In order to prepare the weapon for shooting, it is necessary to lubricate its metal parts, inspect it in assembled form and inspect the clips (stores). If any defects or malfunctions are detected, it can not be used.

General rules of shooting

Manual on the shooting case provides for certain instructions for shooting from each type of weapon. First of all, it is necessary to monitor the course of the battle. The goal for defeat must be chosen in a timely manner, to hit it at the most convenient moment. It is necessary to monitor the results of the shooting and, if necessary, adjust the conduct of the fire; Check the presence of cartridges and ensure their timely replenishment.

Features of shooting from various weapons

A sniper rifle is meant to destroy live targets. In order for the shooting to be effective, it is necessary not only to correctly select the place for conducting fire, but also to determine the distance to the target. In addition, the manual on small business SVD recommends to take into account weather conditions with a range of fire over 500 meters.

The Kalashnikov assault rifle is used not so much to defeat targets as to restrain the movement of enemy forces, since with increasing distance the hit accuracy decreases. Manual on small business (AKM) details in detail, in which provisions and how to produce fire when performing specific tasks.

Carbine Simonova is distinguished by high accuracy of fire. And, although it has long been withdrawn from the armament of the army, it continues to be used for various purposes. Since the carbine does not have an optical sight, the manual on small business (SCS) recommends watching the targets with the naked eye or using binoculars. Also, it details the rules of aiming under various weather conditions and air temperature.

Sniper rifle SVD and self-loading carbine Simonova - the most successful invention

Instead of concluding it makes sense to say a few words about this kind of weapon. Dragoon's sniper rifle is unique in its way, despite various modifications and improvements. Manuals on small business, written for her, do not convey the whole genius of this weapon. Moreover, it is still used in parts of the army of the Russian Federation for conducting special operations or conducting combat.

For those who are interested in the career of a sniper, written in 1970, the manual on small business (SVD) will help to master shooting from a rifle in the theoretical aspect. A combination of the instructor's experience and theory can give excellent results.

Simonov's self-loading carbine was long ago removed from the armament of the Russian army. However, its varieties are still used today - as a hunting rifle. Despite the fact that it is considered obsolete, many accessories are sold to it in stores. At one time, some Asian countries bought a license for its production, but the true connoisseurs of weapons prefer to buy SKS is of Soviet manufacture.
