of the projectile. The measured values of the average deviation from the
dispersion axes reveal a negative influence on the results of shooting with a
suppressor when using this weapon configuration.
The fact that in such experiments, with a limited amount of
experimental data, the value of each individual measurement is essential to
the final result, increasing the magnitude of anthropogenic factors in the
experimental process should not be overlooked.

CONCLUSION
Based on the obtained results, it is clear that the use of contactless
suppressors affects the accuracy and grouping of the shooting. However,
taking into account the intended use and operational firing distances for the
chosen weapon platform, the conclusion that in practical terms, these effects
are negligibly small is reached.
The present study is limited to the use of one specific weapon
configuration, which does not allow the authors to claim that the obtained
results are generally valid for all shooting scenarios using contactless
suppressors. However, there is enough reason to assume that other weapon
configurations with comparable parameters will have a similar result in
testing the accuracy and grouping of fire.
The presented research and the achieved results can serve as a basis for
future research in the field, both using different platforms and at different
distances. The developed methodology allows it to be applied in a number
of experimental setups, which could lead to an increase in the amount of data,
supplementing practical-applied knowledge in the field of shooting.
