Abstract:	Analyzing the degree of influence of component deformation on muzzle disturbance of rotary barrel machine guns is conducive to the structural design and optimization of weapon systems. In order to study the degree of influence of different components on the disturbance of the Gatling gun muzzle,a rigid flexible coupling virtual prototype model is established based on Multibody System Dynamics for a certain type of Gatling gun weapon system.By flexing a single component that is prone to deformation in the model,different simulation conditions are established,and the muzzle vibration is compared and analyzed with the flexible simulation conditions of multiple components.The results show that when a single component is flexible,the deformation of the cradle causes the maximum displacement of the muzzle,followed by the bracket,stand,andbarrel.The cradle causes a muzzle high and low angle displacement of 1.395 mrad,while the simultaneous flexibility of multiple components causes a muzzle high and low angle displacement of 1.316 mrad.The cradle is 6% more than the flexibility of multiple components,and the flexibility of multiple components can reduce the muzzle angle displacement of the weapon.This result provides a reference for the structural optimization design of the weapon system.
