Description
F41 encompasses mechanical weapons and their components, including firearms, artillery, ammunition, and related firing mechanisms. This class covers the design and manufacture of conventional kinetic weapons systems such as guns, cannons, rifles, pistols, and their constituent parts (barrels, actions, breech mechanisms). It also includes non-firearm weapons like bows, crossbows, and catapults, as well as ammunition types, propellant charges, and ignition systems. Related blasting applications and pyrotechnic devices are covered under the broader F section heading, though primary focus remains on weaponry mechanisms and their technical implementation.
