  2. Recoil buffer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recoil_buffer

    An additional small spring can be used inside the gas spring if rapid turnaround times are needed. Coil-type springs twist and the coils try to ride over each other when moving and this chaotic movement does not exist with gas springs, hence reducing twist and jump of the firearm. These features are very advantageous.

  3. Recoil operation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recoil_operation

    The moving and the motionless masses are coupled by a spring that absorbs the recoil energy as it is compressed by the movement and then expands providing energy for the rest of the operating cycle. Since there is a minimum momentum required to operate a recoil-operated firearm's action, the cartridge must generate sufficient recoil to provide ...

  4. Coil spring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coil_spring

    Metal coil springs are made by winding a wire around a shaped former – a cylinder is used to form cylindrical coil springs. Illustration of various arc springs and arc spring systems (systems consisting of inner and outer arc springs). Coil springs for vehicles are typically made of hardened steel. A machine called an auto-coiler takes spring ...

  5. Torsion spring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torsion_spring

    Small, coiled torsion springs are often used to operate pop-up doors found on small consumer goods like digital cameras and compact disc players. Other more specific uses: A torsion bar suspension is a thick, steel torsion-bar spring attached to the body of a vehicle at one end and to a lever arm which attaches to the axle of the wheel at the ...

  6. Airsoft gun - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airsoft_gun

    Spring-powered airsoft guns (or "air-cocking guns" as called by Tokyo Marui) are single-shot devices that use the elastic potential energy stored within a compressed coil spring to drive a piston air pump, which is released upon trigger-pull and rapidly pressurizes the air within the pump cylinder to in turn "blow" pellets down the gun barrel.

  7. Mainspring (firearms) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mainspring_(firearms)

    Mainsprings can come in many shapes, such as a cylindrical spring (Mosin-Nagant, TT-33, Colt M1911), plate spring (Nagant revolver model 1895, Makarov pistol) or spiral spring (Kalashnikov). On a number of automatic firearms, the recoil spring may also function as a mainspring ( FN Browning M1900 , Degtyaryov machine gun , and some submachine ...

  8. Standschütze Hellriegel M1915 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standschütze_Hellriegel_M1915

    The stock of the gun appears to be a modified version of the Mannlicher M1895 rifle stock, with a deeper cut thumb-groove. [2] Details about the internal operation of the firearm are not known. It appears to be blowback-operated, judging by its two coil springs which protruded behind the gun's cylindrical receiver. An iron sight was mounted on ...
