US12313362 - Low recoil firearm

A low recoil firearm 1 provided with counterweights 22 , the number of counterweights 22 a, 22 b is two or more, and a kinetic energy of the bullet received by a barrel 11 is transferred and distributed to the counterweights 22 a, 22 b . A stop mechanism separately stops the counterweights 22 a, 22 b from each other. Although the kinetic energy transmitted to one counterweight is eliminated in the conventional technology, the kinetic energy distributed to two counterweights 22 a, 22 b is eliminated in the present invention.

The patent describes a low recoil firearm that utilizes multiple counterweights to distribute the kinetic energy of the bullet, thereby reducing recoil. It includes a stop mechanism that allows the counterweights to move apart at different times, enhancing the firearm’s stability during firing.

Claim 1

A low recoil firearm provided with a plurality of counterweights, wherein the number of the plurality of counterweights is two or more, and a stop mechanism for stopping the plurality of counterweights with a time difference from each other is provided, and the plurality of counterweights is configured to move from a first state where the counterweights are in contact with each other to a second state where the counterweights are separated from each other. the number of the plurality of counterweights is two or more, and a stop mechanism for stopping the plurality of counterweights with a time difference from each other is provided, and the plurality of counterweights is configured to move from a first state where the counterweights are in contact with each other to a second state where the counterweights are separated from each other.
