Coletor de estojos de munições deflagradas

Abstract

In 2021, the rules for the acquisition and ownership of firearms were relaxed in Brazil and an increase in the maximum limit for the acquisition of weapons for use allowed by the civilian population. Shooting clubs offer to customers for local consumption the só­called recharge ammunition, which are recharged ammunition, assembled from a used case, since the case costs approximately 60% of the value of each cartridge, and its reuse can be done without damage to the functioning of the cartridge, as long as it is not damaged. Given the difficulties of finding in the Brazilian market an acessible product to collect quickly and that guarantees the integrity of the cases, it is proposed as an objective of this work the development of the Collector of Deflagrated Ammunition Cases (CEMD). The design of this product was made using the four main phases of the methodology proposed by Pahl, and finally several conceptions were generated that were later analyzed following Pugh’s method, where the most appropriate conception for the project was selected and prototype construction.
