Short recoil operation differs from long ...

In large firearms such as the Browning M2HB .50 caliber machine gun a similar system called long recoil is used. The difference is how far the breech and barrel recoil together after a shot ...
Like other FN pistols, the FNS is a short-recoil-operated pistol. It is a pre-set striker fired semi-automatic pistol , meaning the trigger system is of the hammerless short double-action-only type. The trigger pull is between 25 N (5.6 lb f ) and 35 N (7.9 lb f ).
The pistol operates on the short-recoil principle, with the barrel being cammed down and away from the locking lugs in the slide. Unlike the M1911, the Vis was not cammed by a link, but by a ledge of sorts, which contacts a portion of the barrel and forces it down as it is moved rearward with the slide by the recoil force.
The pistol uses a pre-tensioned striker firing system, and is chambered in 9mm Luger and .45 ACP. [3] The pistol uses a Browning-type locked-breech short recoil action, with a barrel cam system that is designed to reduce felt recoil. [4] The serialized part of the pistol is a steel chassis, which is fit to a glass-filled nylon frame.
