Abstract:

When firearms are fired by a user, high-looking flames are formed at the muzzle end. High flame appearances have serious harms, especially in night use of firearms. The resulting flames can blind the user and cause enemy forces to reveal the user's position. For these and other reasons, devices attached to the muzzle of firearms have been developed. The most commonly used muzzle devices are muzzle brakes, silencers, and flash hiders. In the study, a multi-functional flame concealer with special functions was designed and the prototype was manufactured in a 3d printer to increase the night vision of the user and hide his position, especially during night use. Using the traditional design method, the Atabey Flame Concealing model, which has a special structure and functions to be used in 7.62 mm calibers, was designed with SolidWorks and internal air flow analyzes were made with SolidFlow. The prototype of the designed Atabey Flame Concealing model was produced with the M200 model produced by the three-dimensional printer Zortrax company. With the Atabey Multi-Function Flame Concealer, the flame appearance after a barrel explosion is minimized, increasing the night vision of the user and hiding his position. It can cut wires with its special design, and it can also be used for one-on-one defense against enemy forces with its cutting and piercing structure. With the added special functions, it has been hiding a unique flame in its field.
