243 results about "Recoil" patented technology

Recoil (often called knockback, kickback or simply kick) is the backward movement of a gun when it is discharged. In technical terms, the recoil momentum acquired by the gun exactly balances the forward momentum of the projectile and exhaust gases (ejecta), according to Newton's third law, known as conservation of momentum. In hand-held small arms, the recoil momentum is transferred to the ground through the body of the shooter, while in heavier guns, such as mounted machine guns or cannons, recoil momentum is transferred to the ground through the mount.

Tripod for rifle hunting

The present invention discloses a tripod for rifle hunting comprising a connecting head with legs hinged thereto. The legs can rotate inwardly or outwardly relative to the connecting head around a hinge axis, and a locking component is installed on the connecting head to limit inward rotation of the legs. Compared to existing technology, the locking component on the connecting head restricts the legs after they are extended, preventing inward rotation relative to the connecting head. This ensures that the legs do not rotate inward due to kick recoil during shooting, thus maintaining the stability of the tripod and preventing collapse due to kick recoil force.

Recoil management system for a gun

A system is disclosed for extending a recoil impulse of a gun. The system elongates the recoil impulse to spread the recoil energy over time and reduce felt (i.e., peak) recoil force. Although the system adds weight to a gun, the system reduces felt recoil beyond what is possible by simply adding weight to a gun by using an inertial weight on a spring to absorb and release energy. To prevent shaking, the inertial weight system is tuned to a gun so that the inertial weight hits a pair of stops at certain points in the gun's discharge action cycle.
