Support Ukraine’s Right to Defend Itself — With Smart, Responsible Firearms Design
In modern warfare, the ability to rapidly design, improve, and manufacture small arms and accessories is a strategic advantage. Ukraine is defending itself not only on the battlefield, but also through technical innovation — and volunteer firearms designers are playing a key role in that.
🎯 Why Firearms Design Matters
Ukraine faces the need to equip its defenders with safe, reliable, and mission-specific weapons and accessories. Many of these tools can be developed or improved by volunteers:
- Open-source modular firearms components (stocks, grips, rails)
- Suppressors and recoil mitigation systems
- Ergonomic modifications for medical and tactical needs
- Weapon-mounted accessories (lights, optics mounts, etc.)
- Durable, lightweight transport and holster systems
- Simplified manufacturing methods (3D printing, CNC-friendly)
All design work is non-lethal or support-focused, developed in collaboration with vetted Ukrainian partners.
🧠 Who We’re Looking For
We welcome:
- Mechanical & firearms engineers
- CAD designers (Fusion 360, SolidWorks, FreeCAD)
- Industrial designers with experience in weapons ergonomics
- 3D printing experts and CNC machinists
- Ballistics modeling / physics background (optional but welcome)
🔧 Types of Volunteer Projects
Designing modular weapon parts for field testing
Improving ergonomics for use with gloves, in cold, or by injured soldiers
Supporting Ukrainian producers with print-ready design files
Simulating recoil patterns or structural stress
Documenting and improving open-source small arms projects
⚠️ Ethics & Responsibility
We do not support indiscriminate or offensive weaponry. All contributions are for defensive and humanitarian use and coordinated with vetted end-users.
