The Heckler & Koch G11 is a non-production prototype assault rifle developed from the late 1960s to the 1980s by Gesellschaft für Hülsenlose Gewehrsysteme (GSHG) (German for "Association for Caseless Rifle Systems"), a conglomeration of companies headed by firearm manufacturer Heckler & Koch (mechanical engineering and weapon design), Dynamit Nobel (propellant composition and projectile ...
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.
These include IED and mine resistance, individual motors inside of the wheels, air transportability inside of a C-2 and Lockeed C-130 Hercules, passive hydro-pneumatic suspension to reduce recoil and a double action low recoil cannon [9] that could provide indirect and direct fire.
The K1 uses the direct impingement gas system, while the K2 uses AK-47 style gas piston system. [6] The K1 has 1-in-12 rifling twist for .223 Remington, while the K2 has 1-in-7.3 rifling twist for 5.56×45mm NATO. [6] The carbine version of K2 named K2C was developed and shown to the public in 2012 by SNT Motiv.
The usual recoil system in modern quick-firing guns is the hydro-pneumatic recoil system. In this system, the barrel is mounted on rails on which it can recoil to the rear, and the recoil is taken up by a cylinder which is similar in operation to an automotive gas-charged shock absorber , and is commonly visible as a cylinder mounted parallel ...
Recoil force has been reduced from around the 22 kilo Newtons (kN) of the standard VENOM 30 to about 7 kN (9 kN maximum). The company claimed that it is up to 50% cheaper than the Orbital ATK M230LF , thus making it a highly competitively priced, and non-ITAR ( International Traffic in Arms Regulations ), alternative to the M230.

Free recoil / Frecoil is a vernacular term or jargon for recoil energy of a firearm not supported from behind. Free recoil denotes the translational kinetic energy ( E t ) imparted to the shooter of a small arm when discharged and is expressed in joules (J), or foot-pound force (ft·lb f ) for non-SI units of measure.
