The article examines the problem of too large a range of individual small arms in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This leads to significant complications with the provision of cartridges, spare parts, maintenance and repair, as well as personnel training. In order to solve the mentioned problem and to choose a single sample of individual small arms, studies of the main types of weapons and cartridges for them are carried out.
At the beginning, the terminology used in the field of individual small arms is considered. It becomes clear what an assault rifle and an automatic rifle (automatic carbine) are. The peculiarities of production and its supply with materials of Soviet-style cartridges 5.45×39 mm and 7.62×39 mm, as well as 5.56×45 mm NATO are analyzed.
At the second stage of research, the main types of individual small arms distributed in the world are considered: the Kalashnikov gun and the automatic rifle (automatic carbine) based on the AR-15 platform. It is argued that, unlike Kalashnikov gun, weapons based on the AR-15 platform are modular and provide the use of a wide range of accessories and sights. Also, the design of the AR-15 allows you to change the caliber of the weapon, to form a special complex for silent and flameless shooting, as well as to use marker cartridges for training.
Taking into account the military-political, military-technical and military-industrial aspects, it is concluded that individual small arms for the Armed Forces of Ukraine should be based on the AR-15 platform with a direct gas pipe.
