Gunfire simulations are important for evaluating new mobile and fixed weapon systems and components with realistic survivability testing criteria. With field component failures of sophisticated accessories, there are increasing demands for better testing regimens. The data necessary to develop a database to accurately quantify this pyroshock environment are being measured for two automatic weapons. Recent live gunfire measurements were made using the highest fidelity measurement techniques available. Single live gunfire and multiple live gunfire measurements (single and three round burst) have been evaluated according to MIL-STD-810G Method 516.7 for Shock. These data highlight the requirements for validating model against live gunfire data.
