Ballistic Testing
Specialized testing services for small arms and small-caliber ammunition used by defence, law-enforcement, and security forces. Generating reliable, repeatable data for OEMs and end-users.
Testing Capabilities
Supporting the full lifecycle of small arms—from early design proving to acceptance testing.
Functional & Reliability Testing
Live-fire evaluations to measure weapon reliability, stoppages, and cyclic performance across ammunition types and magazines.
Accuracy & Dispersion Assessment
Grouping and point-of-impact studies at defined distances to validate weapon, barrel, and ammunition performance against acceptance criteria.
Pressure & Velocity Measurements
Instrumented testing to record chamber pressure and muzzle velocity, helping optimise loads and confirm compliance with relevant standards.
Endurance & Durability Trials
High-round-count firing schedules with periodic inspections to assess component wear, barrel life, and system robustness.
Environmental & Conditioning Tests
Performance checks after exposure to temperature extremes, dust, humidity, and rough handling to simulate operational environments.
Ammunition Lot & Supplier Evaluation
Comparative testing of different lots, vendors, or configurations to support procurement decisions and quality assurance programmes.
