Project Mimic: Shot System
Project Goal
This project is meant to replace the current recoil testing system at Savage Arms, and create a realistic testing system that is: more accurate, less strenuous on employees, and modular for all types of firearm.
Current rigid recoil testing system
Future plans for the recoil testing system
The next iteration of the testing system should have multiple design and functionality benefits over the previous model. Firstly, the price of the new system will be far more cost efficient due to its modular design and lightweight chassis. It will also be able to test a variety of different firearms of which the current system can't, making it more effective in terms of: cost, design, and usability.
