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 ...
The recoil operation is a type of locked-breech action used in semi-automatic and fully automatic firearms. It also uses energy from the combustion in the chamber acting directly on the bolt through the cartridge head, but in this case the firearm has a reciprocating barrel and breech assembly, combined with a bolt that locks to the breech.
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.

Rubber recoil butt pads (12 gauge) or plastic butt plates (sub-gauges) are standard. Citori actions are made with internal hammers and coil springs and all Citori models have shell ejectors , which expel spent shells when the breech is opened by pressing aside the top lever and bending the action fully open, which also re-cocks the internal ...
Diagram of recoil mechanism, British 60-pounder gun Mk.I, 1916. The idea of using a water brake to counteract the recoil of naval cannons was first suggested to the British Admiralty by Carl Wilhelm Siemens in early 1870s, but it took about a decade for other people (primarily Josiah Vavasseur) to commercialize the idea.

Automatic shotguns are intended for use as military combat shotguns. They typically have a high rate of fire and relatively low recoil, making them ideal for engaging targets in a fast-paced, close range combat situation. [2] They are able to fulfill many different combat roles due to the wide variety of shotgun ammunition available. [9]
For example, the dimension of the chamber, the shotgun bore dimension and the valid proof load and commercial ammunition, as defined globally by the C.I.P.; defined in Great Britain by the Rules, regulations and scales applicable to the proof of small arms (2006) [1] of The London Proof House and The Birmingham Proof House, as referred in the ...
