  2. Muzzle rise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muzzle_rise

    Illustration of forces in muzzle rise. Projectile and propellant gases act on barrel along barrel centerline A. Forces are resisted by shooter contact with gun at grips and stock B. Height difference between barrel centerline and average point of contact is height C. Forces A and B operating over moment arm / height C create torque or moment D, which rotates the firearm's muzzle up as ...

  3. Muzzle brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muzzle_brake

    A muzzle brake or recoil compensator is a device connected to, or a feature integral (ported barrel) to the construction of, the muzzle or barrel of a firearm or cannon that is intended to redirect a portion of propellant gases to counter recoil and unwanted muzzle rise. [1] Barrels with an integral muzzle brake are often said to be ported.

  4. Accurizing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accurizing

    While standard rifle barrels taper from breech to muzzle, high precision rifles will often use a barrel with far less taper, called a heavy barrel, sometimes leaving the barrel cylindrical all the way to the muzzle, called a bull barrel. Either technique greatly increases the stiffness of the barrel by enlarging the average diameter, but this ...

  5. Bore axis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bore_axis

    Among other things that affect muzzle rise and felt recoil is the weight of the pistol frame and tuning of recoil springs. The presence of a buttstock in a long gun will also help negate the effect of muzzle rise by shifting the pivot of the muzzle rise back towards the butt end, thus utilizing the entire gun's weight with a longer lever to ...

  6. Silencer (firearms) - Wikipedia

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

    The weight of the silencer itself and the leverage of its mounting location (at the far front end of the barrel) will also help counter muzzle rise. Because the internal baffles will slow and cool the released gas and contain gunpowder that is still burning upon exit from the muzzle, silencers also reduce or even eliminate the muzzle flash.

    This sudden rise in body temperature affects an estimated 35 to 50 percent of perimenopausal women, according to Harvard Health. Again, the severity will differ from woman to woman—some may feel ...

  8. Muzzle reference system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muzzle_reference_system

    A muzzle reference system (MRS) is a device used on most modern tank guns and some artillery systems that measures the bending of the barrel due to heat, gravity and other issues. It normally consists of a laser device and detector mounted at the breach end of the gun, often co-located with other optics like the gunner's sight, and a mirror at ...

    A new small study suggests that athletes will perform better if they soak in a hot tub rather than a frigid one, especially if there are breaks in their workouts.
