The technical solutions incorporated in the developments of KBP contain over 6500 inventions. Military products, manufactured by the company, favorably distinguish high technical characteristics, its main advantage is the criterion "price-quality". Work for the future - is one of the components of the success of the team. The enterprise conducts many R & D enterprises in an initiative manner at their own expense.

In KBP, many prominent gunsmiths worked. The world famous gun TT - Tula, Tokareva; rifles SVT-38, SVT-40, AVT-40, developed by F.V. Tokarev; four anti-aircraft gun mount "Maxim", developed by N. F.

The enormous scientific potential - Shipunov’s unique scientific school, a good industrial base, a great foundation in the field of organization and testing - all this can be safely called the company's distinctive features.

Much of the walls of the KBP was done for the first time. For the first time, antitank-guided weapons systems were developed, which form the basis of the modern antitank defense of the ground forces. It was in the instrument design bureaus that the beginning of guided artillery shells in Russia. Here a whole powerful direction of rearmament of our army was defined - the creation of an armament complex with an automated fire control system and guided armament for lightly armored vehicles. A daring decision arose in KBP to combine rocket and cannon armament in a combat single machine using a combined radar-optical control system, common to both types of armament. KBP is still the world leader in the field of small arms and guns for various types of troops.
