Abstract


This article discusses the possibility of creating a pneumatic actuator that simulates the working process of an AK gun when shooting. The trigger simulation system can produce the same recoil, frequency and noise as an AK gun. Once built, the system can be used for training or entertainment without using real bullets. For that purpose, a microcontroller has been employed to adjust the parameters of a pneumatic valve with a mechanical system simulated from a real gun, meanwhile the actuator is a pneumatic cylinder with a pressure source of 0.8 MPa from a conventional air compressor. Tests conducted on a gun simulation model gave positive results: The rate of fire and sound effects were similar to those of real guns, and the recoil when firing was limited. Therefore, the device is suitable for practising stork hands or applying in games that connect devices to a computer simulation environment. These applications are permitted by law and are harmless to humans and the environment.
