Abstract: Pistol and its ammunition life cycle are initiated by the process of setting needs and requirements. Pistol and its ammunition belong to dangerous products that exploit explosives for their functioning. The pistol shooting could result in pistol failures with serious consequences, such as shooter's injury or even shooter's killing. That is why we consider the safety requirements for pistol and its ammunition to be one of their most important characteristics. The requirements for pistol and its ammunition safety are divided by the author into two groups – requirements for design safety and requirements for safety risk level. Requirements for design safety mean the application of weapons and ammunition construction principles that have been proved and confirmed in practice. These requirements are sufficiently elaborated on and described in current professional literature. On the other hand, the requirements for safety risks level of small arms and their ammunition ha!
ve neither been published nor elaborated on. The method introduced by the author identifies in an original way both the area of acceptable safety risk for pistol and the area of acceptable safety risk for ammunition. A shooting experiment with the purpose to verify the fulfilling of the pistol safety risk requirements was conducted. Its goal was to achieve dangerous pistol failures, i.e. such failure categories which threaten shooter's health. The results of the experiment were used to determine maximal guaranteed lifetime of the given pistol of calibre 9.00 mm Luger.
