US12392574 - 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.

recoilfirearmsystem

The patent describes a recoil management system for firearms that utilizes an inertial weight mechanism to extend and manage the recoil impulse, thereby reducing the felt recoil force experienced by the shooter. This system involves a configuration of stops and an inertial weight that absorbs and transfers energy during the gun’s discharge cycle, enhancing stability while adding weight to the firearm.

Claim 1

A recoil management system for a gun, said system comprising: an inertial weight stop configured to attach to a barrel of the gun, said barrel extending longitudinally along a longitudinal axis, and said inertial weight stop configured to extend radially outward from the barrel; a barrel stop configured to attach to the barrel and extend radially outward from the barrel, the barrel stop configured to halt rearward longitudinal movement of the barrel; and an inertial weight configured to surround a portion of the barrel between the inertial weight stop and the barrel stop, the inertial weight configured to move relative to the barrel so as to contact the barrel stop and transfer absorbed energy from the inertial weight to the barrel stop. an inertial weight stop configured to attach to a barrel of the gun, said barrel extending longitudinally along a longitudinal axis, and said inertial weight stop configured to extend radially outward from the barrel; a barrel stop configured to attach to the barrel and extend radially outward from the barrel, the barrel stop configured to halt rearward longitudinal movement of the barrel; and an inertial weight configured to surround a portion of the barrel between the inertial weight stop and the barrel stop, the inertial weight configured to move relative to the barrel so as to contact the barrel stop and transfer absorbed energy from the inertial weight to the barrel stop.
