The subject involves the classification and basic terms of construction of ammunition: small and middle arms ammunition, charges for in-shot and out-shot devices, ammunition for hand anti-tank arms and trench mortars, signal, illuminating and imitation devices, artillery ammunition, pioneer work ammunition, hand-grenades. Also presented are perspectives of further development of small and middle arm ammunition and artillery ammunition.
Student passing an exam is able to orientate in the chosen types of ammunition and having more complex conception about the practice use of energetic materials in the ammunition subjects, keeping in mind the risk having the ammo handling and it's usage. This gives the graduate more competence in deciding in the R&D applications in the field of energetic materials.
