A recoil pad is a piece of rubber, foam, leather, or other soft material usually attached to the buttstock of a rifle or shotgun. Recoil pads may also be worn around the shoulder with straps, placing the soft material between the buttstock and the shoulder of the person firing the gun. The purpose of this device is to provide additional padding ...
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.
The simplest form of recoil buffer is made from a resilient and deformable material (leather, rubber, polymer e.g. a rubber butt pad on a shotgun). [1] A second way of producing a recoil buffer is to insert a spring into the recoil train—the path/part(s) generating recoil impulse.

[4] Since shotgun shells are nearly twice as wide as 7.62×39mm cartridge, the extraction port in the side of the dust cover had to be increased in size. However, since the bolt had to remain the same length to fit ...

A recoilless rifle (), recoilless launcher (), or simply recoilless gun, sometimes abbreviated to "RR" or "RCL" (for ReCoilLess) [1] is a type of lightweight artillery system or man-portable launcher that is designed to eject some form of countermass such as propellant ...
