Our weapon system is truly unique. Among known global analogues, no other system surpasses it in the totality of its tactical-technical and operational characteristics. The main advantages lie in three revolutionary solutions:

• Caseless Technology. Our ammunition contains no cartridge case. This offers a number of critically important benefits:
  • Reduced Weight: Ammunition becomes approximately 50% lighter compared to standard cartridges.
  • Increased Reliability: The absence of a case extraction phase eliminates one of the most common causes of weapon malfunctions during firing.
  • Elimination of Associated Issues: There is no case ejection, which eliminates the risk of ricocheting into the shooter's face or the accumulation of spent casings underfoot, especially in confined spaces.
• Recoil-Free Design. During firing, the weapon generates no perceptible recoil, meaning there is no sharp thrust into the shooter's shoulder. This significantly enhances comfort, accuracy, and rate of fire, reducing soldier fatigue.
• Smoothbore Barrel with Projectile Rotation (Twist). Although the barrel is smooth, thanks to an innovative engineering solution, the projectile receives the necessary rotational motion (twist) upon exiting the barrel. This avoids excessive friction and heating characteristic of rifled barrels, and consequently, significantly increases barrel life and reduces wear.

These advantages are so significant that they allow us to assert the undeniable superiority of our weapon over existing systems. More detailed information about its characteristics and capabilities is provided in our extended catalogs and documentation.

Indeed, this technology is superior, and humanity actively sought to create it throughout the entire 20th century. Leading arms-producing nations, such as Germany, Belgium, France, the USSR, the USA, and the Czech Republic, invested enormous resources into similar projects. Among the most well-known attempts were the German caseless rifle G11, the American LSAT program, and the Soviet AB project (caseless automatic rifle).

However, despite significant investments and efforts, all these projects ended unsuccessfully due to the extreme technical complexity of the task. Without delving into deep technical details, it can be stated that the difficulty of developing caseless weapons proved so immense that no team in the world could successfully solve it.

Fortunately, our design team conquered this challenge, and we have successfully developed a functional system.

This is indeed a crucially important question that deserves special attention. The idea of caseless weapons is not new – it is over 150 years old. Throughout this time, specialists held differing views on its implementation, but they were united on one point: caseless weapons are superior in all key economic, logistical, and tactical-technical characteristics.

Despite insurmountable difficulties, designers repeatedly returned to this idea, even after expert circles concluded it was impossible to create. The reason for this constant return lies in the fact that the introduction of caseless weapons promises significant advantages and substantial benefits at all three levels:

• Tactical: directly on the battlefield, benefiting the soldier and the unit.
• Operational: logistics measures at the operational level.
• Strategic: state-level issues regarding material and financial provision.

Yes, the introduction of new weaponry indeed requires certain initial financial investments, but these are fully compensated and outweighed by the long-term savings achieved.

Furthermore, while existing weapon types may satisfy certain needs today, would a soldier refuse a lighter, more accurate, more reliable weapon that doesn't overheat, doesn't require cleaning, and most importantly – allows them to carry almost twice the ammunition, which could save their life in a critical moment? This question is, of course, rhetorical.

Our entire line of caseless weapons uses proprietary ammunition of three calibers: 10 mm, 20 mm, and 30 mm.

This is a valid point, and indeed, there are commonly accepted types of ammunition and weapons for them, whose production is already established. However, if we were to think exclusively in such categories, then the invention of the automobile would also have been impractical, as humanity was accustomed to traveling on horses. Automobiles required the development of new infrastructure – roads, service stations, gas stations, etc.

Evolution cannot be stopped; it can only be temporarily delayed, as the user always strives for better quality, higher performance, and more reliable operation. In such cases, the key question is the ratio between the cost of implementing a new solution and the benefits gained.

In our case, the advantages that the end consumer (the state, logistics units, the soldier directly) will receive significantly outweigh the costs of implementing this system.

Furthermore, the current variety of ammunition types, calibers, and manufacturers of cartridges and weapons creates genuine logistical chaos, significantly complicating and increasing the cost of supply, production, and storage processes. In contrast, our system operates with only three types of ammunition for 19 different types of caseless weapons, which substantially simplifies all logistical chains, making them more efficient and less costly.

Besides those already mentioned, there are two particularly striking advantages of our ammunition:

• Reduced Weight: As already noted, the ammunition's weight is reduced by up to 50% compared to standard cartridges. This allows a soldier to carry a significantly larger ammunition load compared to conventional weapons, which is a critically important factor for infantry and for combat aircraft, where every kilogram counts.
• Optimized Production: The absence of a cartridge case eliminates the need for its production, which requires expensive brass and dozens of additional manufacturing operations. This simplifies and reduces the cost of the ammunition manufacturing process.

Overall, the metal cartridge case performs an important function during firing, but immediately afterward, it becomes redundant, is ejected, and in confined spaces can create inconveniences by falling underfoot. All of this incurs significant costs and inconveniences. Caseless ammunition is completely free of these drawbacks.

No, this does not contradict the principles of ballistics; rather, it is an innovative solution that bypasses traditional limitations. Typically, to impart rotational motion (twist) to a projectile, spiral rifling is made in the barrel. In our case, since the barrel is smooth, the rotation is imparted not by rifling, but by a special design solution on the projectile itself or within the weapon's chamber. This allows combining the advantages of a smoothbore barrel (less friction, wear, heating) with the rotation necessary for projectile stabilization in flight, ensuring high accuracy at stated distances.

Absolutely not. Caseless technology relates only to the method of packaging and initiating the propellant charge, not to the properties of the projectile itself or special elements within its composition. This means that it is possible to create any type of ammunition – armor-piercing, tracer, incendiary, with shrapnel (for 20 mm and 30 mm calibers), with increased expansion (for the civilian market), illuminating, and others, just as with traditional cartridges. The specific properties of the projectile or the presence of additional elements (e.g., a tracer) are integrated directly into the design of the caseless ammunition, without requiring a case.

Ukrainian designers have created a complete caseless "weapon-ammunition" system, which inherits all the unique qualities discussed earlier and detailed in our extended catalogs. Based on this innovative system, three main classes of weapons have been developed:

• Magazine-fed (non-automatic) weapons: includes models that require manual reloading after each shot.
• Semi-automatic and automatic weapons: models capable of firing single shots (semi-automatic) or bursts (automatic).
• Weapons for unmanned systems: specially adapted solutions for integration into UAVs and USVs.

In each of these classes, weapons are available in three calibers: 10 mm, 20 mm, and 30 mm.

Overall, this line of 19 weapon types fully meets the needs of the modern battlefield, covering a wide range of armaments: from pistols and carbines to rifles (both magazine-fed and semi-automatic), sniper rifles, assault rifles, submachine guns, light machine guns, as well as heavy and general-purpose machine guns.

Our universal caseless "weapon-ammunition" system has allowed us to create a comprehensive family of weapons that covers virtually all needs of modern armed forces and the civilian market. Among the 19 types that surpass modern analogues, we can highlight:

For personnel:

• Pistols and compact submachine guns (10 mm caliber).
• Assault rifles and assault carbines (10 mm and 20 mm calibers).
• Magazine-fed and semi-automatic rifles, including high-precision sniper systems (10 mm, 20 mm, 30 mm calibers).
• Light, general-purpose, and heavy machine guns (20 mm and 30 mm calibers).

For unmanned systems:

• Automatic cannons and machine guns of low and medium power, adapted for installation on aerial, ground, and surface UAVs (10 mm, 20 mm, 30 mm calibers).

The "recoil-free" system is of immense importance for a soldier's effectiveness. The main practical advantages are:

• Significant increase in accuracy: The absence of recoil allows the shooter to maintain the target in their sights after each shot, which is critically important for quick and accurate follow-up shots, especially when firing in bursts or at moving targets.
• Reduced fatigue: The absence of regular thrusts to the shoulder reduces the physical strain on the shooter, allowing them to maintain combat readiness and concentration longer. This is especially important in prolonged combat operations or during intense firing.
• Ease of training: Novices learn to shoot with such a weapon faster, as they do not need to overcome the psychological barrier of recoil.
• Ability to shoot from any position: The absence of recoil makes the weapon more stable and allows for effective shooting from awkward positions, for example, while moving or from a confined space.

This is one of the key advantages of our system. In traditional firearms, the cartridge case, remaining in the chamber for fractions of a second, carries away a significant amount of heat. Caseless weapons solve this problem due to the absence of projectile friction against rifling (since the barrel is smoothbore) and the optimization of the powder combustion process to minimize carbon residue. This reduces overall heat generation during firing and prevents rapid barrel wear. Furthermore, the design features ensure that the propellant burns with minimal carbon buildup. As a result, our weapon requires almost no cleaning in the usual sense, which greatly simplifies operation and maintenance in combat conditions.

This is a very pertinent question, as the cartridge case traditionally serves not only as a sealing function during firing but also a protective role. In our caseless ammunition, the problem of protection is solved by placing the propellant inside the projectile and using special, environment-resistant materials for the ammunition body, as well as innovative sealing methods. This provides reliable protection against moisture, temperature fluctuations, and minor mechanical damage during standard storage and transport, which is comparable to, and in some aspects superior to, the durability of conventional cartridges. We guarantee their stable operation in various climatic conditions.

Unfortunately, direct modernization of existing weapon models to use our caseless ammunition is not possible. Our caseless "weapon-ammunition" system is designed as an integrated complex, where the weapon's design (chamber, feeding system, ignition mechanism, recoil elimination system, and projectile rotation provision) is tightly integrated with the design of the ammunition itself. This is a fundamentally different philosophy that requires specific technical solutions. Attempting to adapt traditional weapons would be equivalent to their complete redesign, which is impractical. Our weapon is not just "a new rifle"; it is an entirely new paradigm in small arms, requiring the introduction of new platforms.

On the contrary, the absence of the case extraction phase makes our weapon significantly more reliable in extreme conditions. Traditional problems such as case jamming or the ingress of dirt or sand into the mechanism through the ejection port are minimized. The mechanisms of caseless weapons are more enclosed, which reduces the risk of contamination. Furthermore, the materials used for the ammunition are designed to withstand moisture and temperature fluctuations, ensuring reliable operation in both heat and cold, as well as in dusty or wet environments. This is one of the key advantages for military application.

For unmanned systems (aerial, ground, surface), caseless weapons open even broader possibilities than just reduced ammunition weight:

• Recoil-free operation: The recoil-free nature of the weapon during firing means there is no critical impact on the movement of the airborne unmanned complex. This allows caseless weapons to be positioned both vertically and horizontally (or at an angle), significantly expanding the weapon's tactical capabilities.
• No case ejection: This is critically important for UAVs, as there is no sideways impact from ejected cases, and no risk of jamming moving parts or damaging propellers (for aerial systems).
• Minimal maintenance: A weapon that requires almost no cleaning is ideal for autonomous systems operating in hard-to-reach locations or requiring minimal human intervention.
• High reliability: Eliminating the case extraction phase significantly increases system reliability, which is vital for drone operation, where any delay or failure can lead to the loss of the platform or failure to complete the mission.
• Increased ammunition capacity: The lightness of the ammunition allows a significantly larger volume of firepower to be carried on UAVs, increasing the duration of combat use or the effectiveness of a single strike.
• Compactness and integration: Caseless systems can be more compact and lighter, simplifying their integration into various UAV and USV platforms without overloading them.
• Resistance to vibrations and extreme conditions: The design, devoid of moving parts in the cartridge case path, can be more resistant to vibrations and shock loads that often occur on moving unmanned platforms.

The absence of a cartridge case in the ammunition's design has a direct and significant impact on its production cost. Traditional brass or steel cases require a complex multi-stage manufacturing process, including stamping, drawing, annealing, and processing of the neck and primer pocket. This requires significant material costs (especially for non-ferrous metals) and energy-intensive production operations. In caseless ammunition, these stages are completely absent. This significantly simplifies the technological process, reduces material and energy consumption, which ultimately leads to a reduction in the unit cost of ammunition. This economy scales with mass production, providing the system with a significant economic advantage.
