  2. Recoil operation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recoil_operation

    Long recoil operation is found primarily in shotguns, particularly ones based on John Browning's Auto-5 action. In 1885 a locked breech, long recoil action was patented by the Britons Schlund and Arthur. [9] In a long recoil action, the barrel and bolt remain locked together during recoil, compressing the recoil springs.

  3. Gun dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_dynamics

    Gun dynamics describes the physical causes of barrel and shot vibration, and the effect they may have on accuracy and consistency.It is employed to predict firearm performance, such as recoil, using theoretical methods and mathematical modelling techniques.

  5. Recoil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recoil

    The nature of the recoil process is determined by the force of the expanding gases in the barrel upon the gun (recoil force), which is equal and opposite to the force upon the ejecta. It is also determined by the counter-recoil force applied to the gun (e.g. an operator's hand or shoulder, or a mount).

  6. Hydraulic recoil mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_recoil_mechanism

    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 to ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atchisson_AA-12

    The AA-12 (Auto Assault - 12), originally designed and known as the Atchisson Assault Shotgun, is a fully automatic combat shotgun developed in 1972 by Maxwell Atchisson. . However, the original development by Atchisson seems to have produced only a few guns at prototype-level, with the development that ultimately led to the gun entering the market being done later by Military Police Systems ...

  8. Bore axis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bore_axis

    The mount height itself, that is the distance from the top of rail to center of scope, varies, but typically lies around 36–38 mm (1.4–1.5 in) (higher and lower mounts are also readily available). In total, this gives a typical scoped AR-style rifle a height over bore of around 67–69 mm (2.6–2.7 in).

  9. Dovetail rail - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dovetail_rail

    The SIG Sauer 200 STR has an 11 mm dovetail on the receiver for mounting a diopter rear sight or a scope sight, either directly or via a Picatinny rail adapter.. Dovetails come in several different types and sizes depending on manufacturer, but the most common are the 11 mm and 3 ⁄ 8 inch (9.5 mm).
