Abstract

Various law enforcement forces play an important role in ensuring state law and order. The tasks of these forces differ greatly, ranging from national defense to protection of life, health and rights of individual citizens. The difference in goals and terms of their achievement is reflected in the ways of performing tasks and constraints, imposed in this case. The purpose of arms employment by the law enforcement forces is to stop an offense that prevents losses among law enforcement officers, hostages and other citizens, who are not participants in the events. Thus, law enforcement forces are armed with examples of small arms, which have been developed for the Armed Forces and have excessive values of the basic combat characteristics. This creates a risk of injuring shooters, hostages and other people, being in the firing direction that, considering the purpose of arms employment, will be the mission failure. Thus, ensuring certain acceptable level of arms employment safety is an urgent task. Small arms employment safety indicators are developed using the firing theory methods. Based on the analysis of the causes of the risks of injury by the throwing element, ways of increasing the safety of small arms employment by the law enforcement forces are generalized. It is found that the existing scientific-methodological apparatus does not ensure development of practical recommendations on ensuring acceptable characteristics of the throwing element after a ricochet from the obstacle.

Relevant scientific task, which lies in defining the patterns of influence of the ballistic characteristics of arms and design characteristics of the throwing element on the firing task performance reliability considering restrictions on arms employment safety is formulated. Partial tasks and areas for further research are determined.
