Three Emirati science graduates from the United Arab Emirates University, or UAEU, on Thursday showcased an innovative device at Idex 2015, which they said weapon manufacturers can use to increase the safety and efficiency of the process of quality control.

Mohammed Dad Al Bloushi Ibrahim Omar Al Abdouli, and Saleh Salem Al Marri developed the Automatic Firing Stand, or AFS, a project sponsored by Tawazun Holding group and Caracal International, and is used to perform endurance tests on Caracal-manufactured pistols, eliminating the need for human contact.

Al Bloushi, a development and design engineer, said that long-term exposure to pistol testing can have negative impacts on the shooter in the long run, and that the AFS addresses this issue.
