A hydraulic recoil buffer assembly for a firearm having a receiver and a fixed or collapsible stock assembly including an end cylinder adapted to be secured to the pistol grip or receiver of the firearm and slidably translatable with respect to the extension tube, and a hydraulic shock absorption assembly operative to produce a hydraulic resistance to a rearward movement of the end cylinder during recoil of the firearm. The hydraulic shock absorption assembly has an orifice restricted fluid flow passage and a piston head that compresses a return spring as the end cylinder moves rearward against a recoil coil spring. The recoil buffer assembly stores a portion of the recoil energy through compression of the recoil spring and the return spring, and dissipates a portion of the recoil energy through the resistance provided by fluid flow through the orifice restricted flow passage.

A mount assembly for a semi-automatic firearm supports the weight of a firing unit (receiver, barrel and trigger) in a slide stand on or from a support structure so that a user does not have to bear any or at least a significant portion of the firearm's weight. Through a sliding interface, the firing unit is manually pushed by a user's thumb(s) to slide forward in the slide stand until a trigger actuator depresses the trigger. The trigger actuator may include a rod or a rest for a user's finger. Recoil energy from a discharged bullet pushes the firing unit rearwardly back to the starting position. The slide stand can include a convex or articulating base for variable aiming, or a fixed base for sharp-shooting.

The invention provides a flow-line variable-cross-section back-flushing energy dissipation fishway with a fish luring function. The flow-line variable-cross-section back-flushing energy dissipation fishway comprises bottom plates, back-flushing water outlets, a base, flow-line-type combination side walls, back-flushing waterways, a lower chamber, an underwater water outlet; the flow-line-type combination side walls are uniformly arranged along the whole fishway; the back-flushing waterways are formed in the bottom plates and are located at downstream parts which are 60 cm away from narrowest parts of the fishways defined by the left and right flow-line-type combination side walls; the lower chamber is arranged below the bottom plates; the underwater water outlet is formed in a bottom partof a tail end of the lower chamber; and each back-flushing waterway is of a curve-surface structure of which the lower part is large and the upper part is small. The flow-line variable-cross-section back-flushing energy dissipation fishway has the beneficial effects that flowing speed and flow of bottom-layer water flows of the water outlets of the fishway are increased through bottom-layer high-pressure water flows, and a fish luring effect of the water outlets in the fishway is improved; back-flushing water flows and flow-line-type fishway side walls are designed, so that water flow energy in the fishway is dissipated; the flowing state and flowing speed of water flows in the fishway are improved; and a fish passing rate of the fishway is improved.

The invention relates to a weapon (1), constructed relatively simply and compactly, for shooting ammunition (2), with a barrel (3) with recoil and a braking device (12) damping the barrel recoil. According to the invention, a plastically deformable absorption body (12) is used as the braking device (12) for reducing the recoil energy. Thus, a weapon assembly for firing ammunition is provided, wherein the weapon assembly includes: (a) a weapon including a weapon barrel provided with a recoil spring that holds the weapon barrel in an initial position; and (b) a braking device that damps barrel recoil of the weapon barrel when firing ammunition, wherein the braking device is a plastically deformable absorption body.

A neutron detector system, with a detector having a pair of spaced diamond detector layers, sandwiched between outer silicon layers. In response to incident neutrons, the detector system measures pulse heights and response times, and from those measurements, calculates the carbon recoil energy and time of flight of scattered neutrons. This data is further used to calculate a “direction cone”, which represents the approximate angle of arrival of the incident neutron. These direction cones can be used to image neutron events.
