Abstract

This article provides a simple model of small arms fire. To take account of the different factors affecting the hitting point and various sizes and shapes of the targets, the Monte Carlo method is used. The parameters of the model enable research of the effectiveness of fire for different types of weapons at various targets. As an example, the effectiveness of fire of the AK-47 in one type of target has been investigated for various distances and different firing positions.
