Kazakhstan launches production of small arms ammunition

Kazakhstan launched the first phase of a new cartridge plant, designed to produce ammunition for small arms weapons. This was reported by the press service of the Kazakhstan State JSC National Company Kazakhstan Engineering.

A new cartridge plant was opened on May 5 this year in the Karaganda region of Kazakhstan. According to the report, the implementation of the project of the cartridge plant is carried out by Steel Manufacturing LLP. It is reported that it will be a modern, high-tech enterprise that meets international standards for the production of small arms ammunition.



The Kazakhstan Engineering company said that the launch of a new cartridge plant will allow Kazakhstan to close the need for small arms ammunition for the republic’s law enforcement agencies, saving Kazakhstan from importing cartridges and unlocking export potential.

According to the bmpd blog, an agreement on the creation in Kazakhstan of a modern production of small arms ammunition with a capacity of 30 million rounds per year was concluded in 2016. Initially, the first phase of the plant was planned to be commissioned in 2017, but the launch was delayed significantly.

Currently, the company has launched into production only the line for the production of pistol cartridges of 9X18 mm caliber. The production lines for 5,45X39, 7,62X39 and 7,62X54 caliber cartridges are planned to be launched later. As previously stated, a specialty in the production of ammunition with a brass sleeve will be a feature of the new cartridge factory.

    Such a cartridge will be more expensive than with an iron sleeve, they will probably be sold to Western countries.

        Yes Yes Yes lol We have casings from a cartridge 12,7 × 108 mm ("Cliff") from the very beginning of the war became a "hot commodity" wink
        At receptions it leaves "with a bang." And only sometimes, at some points, the receivers (receivers) "make up" and demand to remove capsules from the spent cartridge case ...

        For the information of the miners, the most famous cartridge factories in Europe: Serbia "Partizan", Italy and Germany, produce cartridges in a brass case (this was on the website).
        Before the WWII, the Soviet Union also had brass sleeves. In fact, about which sleeves are better, we will ask Yuferov or Comrades who is in the subject

        The decision to build the plant was made after the start of events in Ukraine. For a long time they decided which and whose equipment to buy. As far as I know, the equipment is Canadian.
        After the tobacco factories were privatized, our republic was left without this production. The topic has been raised by the military since the 0s not once. I even heard that the cartridges are 14,5 mm. became scarce.

            Yes, I’m already used to such comments from people who have never been in our area, and do not pay attention to this. I try to just supplement the information.
            Recently, the eldest daughter of the National Academy of Sciences (Dariga) was removed from the post of chairman of the Senate of the Parliament (the second most important post in the republic after the presidential one). Although it may "emerge" at another post. The people are fed up with all these "family provisions". The grandchildren of the National Academy of Sciences have already begun to crawl out into the information field of the republic - sometimes they make such statements that "even if you stop, even if you fall."

But with my family, this is different. This is not the National Academy of Sciences, but sometimes people cut off from life and reality ...

I am neutral towards the authorities and I am definitely not going to kill my nerves.

      unequivocally more expensive, but it has its advantages, it is multi-charged and does not deteriorate. steel sleeves sometimes tear in the chamber. and brass can inflate maximum, but not tear. I had a case in the army, with the German G-3, 308 caliber. at first there was a delay, either a defective capsule or gunpowder .. I waited a little, then I pulled the shutter to eject, and it burst right at the time of departure from the chamber. the remains of gunpowder, pieces of the cartridge case flew into the eyes ... the ophthalmologist then picked them out of the eyeball with a syringe needle. and if the sleeve was not steel, but brass, then it would not have torn to pieces. could inflate but would not be so unpleasant. In addition, they are perfectly calibrated and can be reused, knocked out the capsule. Put a new one, a canopy of gunpowder and press in the bullet. all .. so the price will be justified by the buyers.

            And what prevents a state plant from earning? 30 million rounds per year is extremely small, if in the Kazakhstani army, for example, 100 thousand people, plus the Ministry of Internal Affairs and other security services, this is 300 rounds per person per year, chickens laugh. Most likely, Kazakhs do not know how to make cartridges with a steel sleeve, because for cartridges with a steel sleeve you need a special varnish that will not crack and clog up the weapon when firing. In the USSR, therefore, before the war, cartridges with brass sleeves were made, although it was very expensive, since they could not create such a varnish. During the war years, they generally switched to purely steel shells, since there was no need for long-term storage of cartridges, and the cartridges simply did not have time to rust. After the war, the USSR created varnish, and began to produce steel lacquered sleeves.

And today, Kazakhstan ranks first in the world in explored reserves of zinc, tungsten and barite, second in silver, lead and chromite, third in copper and fluorite, fourth in molybdenum, sixth in gold .... and so on ...
    -So, Kazakhstan has all these patrons, i.e. sleeves for them today can also be made from pure copper .., and not just from brass ...
    -But Russia has rather scarce reserves of copper ... -He will have to continue to produce steel sleeves ...- and they are much worse in quality ... -Sorry ...

      What can you do ... - after the collapse of the USSR, whole world pantries of open and developed minerals went to Kazakhstan. And today, Kazakhstan ranks first in the world in explored reserves of zinc, tungsten and barite, second in silver, lead and chromite, third in copper and fluorite, fourth in molybdenum, sixth in gold .... and so on ...

      They’re around a handful of them, and most of the territory is just overgrown with feather grass, and so much has been invested in the development of virgin lands .. Fields to the horizon and huge herds of cattle and other things .. And the chamber’s patrons are clearly not for their army, such ..

          You are a strange creature. You can’t say in the case, but you must yelp.
          It’s a really simple matter to set cons. I don’t like this attitude - catch yourself a minus from me.

    Our Novosib turned out to be much better.


    Yeah. Novosib apparently not like in the forest. Somewhere on the mountain they collect. Of shit and sticks.

    A respected WWII may be for someone, but in our country it’s more correct to say the Great Patriotic War, as for cartridges with a brass sleeve, I personally held automatic cartridges in my hands. 43 years of the end of the 50s with a brass sleeve.

    WWII ended on May 9, but ours had to fight with the Kwantung Army of Japan
