Recoil of firing forces bolt and barrel fully to the rear, compressing the return springs for both. Bolt is held to rear, while barrel unlocks and returns to battery under spring force. Fired round is ejected. Bolt returns under spring force, loads new round. Barrel locks in place as it returns to battery.
Except for the case of zero-recoil, the counter-recoil force is smaller than the recoil force but lasts for a longer time. Since the recoil force and the counter-recoil force are not matched, the gun will move rearward, slowing down until it comes to rest. In the zero-recoil case, the two forces are matched and the gun will not move when fired.
This type of buffer cushions the battering force of repeated metal on metal impact, reducing wear on parts and lengthening the service life of the firearm. [4] Reduction of perceived recoil discomfort is an immediate added benefit of this type of recoil buffer. [4] Some pneumatic recoil buffers used in firearms are fast, low-power gas springs ...
Mechanically, fourth-generation Glock pistols are fitted with a dual recoil spring assembly to help reduce perceived recoil and increase service life expectancy. Earlier subcompact Glock models such as the Glock 26 and Glock 30 have already used a dual recoil spring assembly that was carried over to the fourth-generation versions of those models.
Some designers handled this problem by making the moving parts of the firearm heavier and the strength of the recoil spring much greater. Firearms such as the .25 ACP Beretta SB950, take a great deal of force to chamber a round. Beretta solved this problem with a tilting barrel which allowed loading without having to pull the slide to the rear.
One feature is the dual recoil spring system that spreads out the recoil force of the .45 ACP round by lowering the peak force of the recoil pulse. It also has 3-dot tritium night sights , a 5-inch national match barrel, ambidextrous safety, picatinny rail , and a desert tan Cerakote finish.
A Glock switch can turn a firearm into a machine gun, a weapon that was banned nationwide 89 years ago and is known for its ability to spray bullets in quick succession.
In recoil operated firearms, the slide reacts against the bullet, and the frame is under no force at the time of firing. As the slide begins to recoil to the rear some of that energy is transmitted to the frame through the locking mechanism (in locked breech designs) and the recoil spring.
