Abstract: This work will include analysis of the application of nanoparticles in the manufacturing of rifle ammunition. The results shows real application of nano particles of tungsten-disulfide on the working tools for making cartridge cases and bullets, control tools, test barrels and subsystems for testing internal ballistics. The goal of applying nano particles indicated the possibilities of increasing production resources, increasing tactical and technical requirements of ammunition and a substantial reduction of the required funds for production starting from the bullets, contor until verfication tests and final use.

Key wards: tungsten-disulfide, nano particles, working tools, bullet, case.
