Safety risk requirements for combat pistol and its ammunition

Combat pistol life cycle is initiated by the process of setting needs and requirements. Combat pistol and its ammunition belong to dangerous products that contain explosives. That is why we consider the safety requirements for pistol and its ammunition to be of the highest importance. The requirements for pistol and its ammunition safety are divided by authors into two groups - requirements for design safety and requirements for safety risk level. Requirements for design safety mean the application of weapons and ammunition construction principles that have been proved and confirmed in practice. These requirements are sufficiently elaborated and described in literature today. On the other hand, the requirements for safety risks level of small arms and their ammunition have neither been published nor elaborated on. The method introduced by authors in the paper identifies in an original way both the area of acceptable safety risk for combat pistol and the area of acceptable safety risk for ammunition.
