Weapon Recoil Simulated Shoulder
The WRSS is a shooting fixture system for shoulder fired firearms that provides a means of collecting test data without the errors introduced by the human shooter. Incremental design improvements in recoil reduction and weapon controllability which are imperceptible to the human shooter can now be measured and evaluated. The WRSS system collects data on recoil force, determines acceleration levels at key points on the firearm, and gives the time profile for weapon pitch and yaw during firing.
