Weapons and weapon systems specialty. Is gunsmith a profession? Who are gunsmiths in the modern world? Who are gunsmiths

Training mode	Schedule	Cost (for the entire course)	Number of academic hours
Evening group	Tue., Wed., Thu. 18.00-21.00	55,000 rub.	144
Day group	Tue., Wed., Thu. 11.00-16.00		Weapon forging is one of the oldest crafts. The image of a blacksmith forging a combat blade can be seen with your own eyes at the courses of blacksmiths-gunsmiths at the Russian Academy of Crafts. And become that same blacksmith. Completing the training will allow you to independently bring to life your ideas about creating blades; recreate historical military paraphernalia; participate in reconstructions with personally created objects. The teacher adapts to the students’ requests and manages to devote individual time to each one. During the course you will make 3 products: a training blade from raw material, a second one from tool steel (remains with you) and a final work (remains at the Academy). What is included in the training program for blacksmiths-gunsmiths: Introduction to the profession, safety precautions, history of blacksmithing Basics of metal science Construction of a forge, tools, basic forging operations. Forge welding. Damascus. Principles of modeling the pattern of Damascus steel. Making a model of an all-metal knife from low-carbon steel. Making an all-metal knife from high-carbon steel. Fundamentals of metalworking of blade products. Fundamentals of heat treatment of metals. Practice. Mastering different types of welding: forge, manual arc welding, semi-automatic welding in shielding gases. Drawing and designing thesis, drawing up a technological map. Conditions of education Duration: 144 academic hours. Document issued: certificate "Hand-forged blacksmith" with assignment of rank, certificate "Weapons production technology in blacksmithing" To register, you must have your passport and a 3x4 photo with you. When registering for the course, you must pay 50% of the tuition fee. The remaining amount is due during the first month of classes. Frequently asked questions about blacksmith-gunsmith courses: I already know how to forge. Will I be bored during the first days of studying in your program? We do not recruit large groups specifically so that the teacher has the opportunity to work individually with each student. Therefore, everyone, regardless of their initial level of training, gets from the training what they came for. Do I need to buy anything for training? There is no need to purchase anything. If you wish, you can bring personal protective equipment - goggles and a respirator. I want to complete both of the Academy's blacksmith courses. Which one is better to start with? We recommend that you first take a course in artistic forging and gain the skill of working with metal (any blacksmith should be able to forge). After this, learn to work with high-carbon tool steels, which are used in the manufacture of blades.

The future of the industry

Weapons are determined by the strategic tasks that the main geopolitical players will solve, the capabilities of the economy and the state of society. Therefore, the future of defense complexes today should be looked at not only from military or industrial positions. In many ways, modern civilization has reached its limits. The carrying capacity of the Earth's biosphere has been exceeded by more than 20%. In the 21st century, humanity will have to switch to a completely different regime of environmental management and work with resources.

The situation in the field of weapons has also become fundamentally new - the destructive power of conventional weapons has increased by 5 orders of magnitude from the beginning of the industrial revolution to the turn of the 21st century. The armed forces have acquired the ability to destroy humanity or throw it back many centuries.

According to a number of experts, in terms of conventional weapons the ratio of Russia's military potential to the total potential of NATO member countries is 1:60. This determines the severity, complexity and scale of the task of modernizing society, the economy and the defense complex of Russia.

As for the study of the World Ocean, this industry has good prospects. In July 2015, it was reported that the Government had allocated 87 billion rubles, which Russia would spend over 15 years on studying the World Ocean. These funds will be distributed to the programs “Expeditionary Research in the World Ocean”, “Applied Research of the Nature of the World Ocean”, “Comprehensive Research of the Antarctic” and a number of others.

“The development of the spaces and resources of the World Ocean is one of the main directions of development of world civilization in the third millennium,” experts say. Fleets of modern nuclear submarines, various types of effective mine and torpedo weapons, high-tech naval aviation technology, the use of space means to study the ocean - all this is there, but the moment when humanity, without loud slogans, moved from studying the World Ocean to its development has been missed.

There is a big difference between the concepts of “research” and “development”. Development begins with a prototype, developed technologies and ensures the practical activities of mankind. To achieve success in this area you will:
• maximum possible automation of underwater work,
• high technological level of robotic systems,
• creation of an underwater network information space.
