A comparative Study on the Design and Characteristic Performances of DICON made Guns in Nigeria

Abstract

This paper provides insights into the designs and characteristic performances of
different types of guns made by the Defence Industries Corporation of Nigeria (DICON),
through comparative analysis of their data facts as obtained from surveys at the company
with corresponding similar gun types designed and produced by reputable manufacturers in
other nations of the world. Generally, the guns produced by the corporation have been
found to be of high and comparable performance capabilities with the best similar types
elsewhere in the world, inspite of design variations between them.
