unusual facts about Recoil


Safehold

Meanwhile, on Helen Island, new weapon systems are developed, such as recoil absorption mechanisms for guns or prototypical firearms and cartridges.


.280 British

The adoption of the 7.62×51mm NATO round and the adaptation of the intermediate cartridge CETME (later developed into the G3) and FN FAL designs to fire it, produced rifles that were relatively longer and heavier and had greater recoil.

.35 Remington

The cartridge uses a medium to heavy bullet and has moderate recoil based on a moderate pressure level of 33,500 CUP as set by SAAMI.

Automatic revolver

In 1997, the Mateba company developed a type of recoil-operated automatic revolver, the Mateba Unica auto-revolver, which uses recoil energy to auto-rotate a revolver cylinder holding 6 or 7 cartridges, depending on the model.

Connie Chiu

Chiu starred in the music video for the single "Stalker" by Recoil, the solo project of Depeche Mode member Alan Wilder.

French 75

The Canon de 75 modèle 1897, an innovative design that introduced, for the first time in field artillery history, a hydro-pneumatic recoil mechanism keeping the gun stable during firing and thus permitting high rates of accurate shell delivery.

Gas-operated reloading

The French Chauchat, German MG-42 machine gun, and some other recoil operated firearms use a gas trap style mechanism to provide additional energy to 'boost' the energy provided by recoil.

Martin Mill

The railway guns were 13.5" ex naval guns on WW1 mountings with a maximum elevation of 39 deg, traverse was by using the guns on a curved spur with the degrees marked along the tracks, a large arrow was mounted on the guns bogies to line up with the marks. Recoil was absorbed by special brakes acting on the wheels. Scene Shifter was later converted to an 18" Howitzer gun in November 1943.

Muzzle booster

The Vickers, like the Maxim gun from which it was developed, uses a short recoil action.

Neutron depth profiling

In NDP, a thermal or cold neutron beam passes through a material and interacts with isotopes that emit monoenergetic charged particles upon neutron absorption; either a proton or an alpha, and a recoil nucleus.

Olivia Louvel

She has supported Recoil (the musical project of former Depeche Mode member Alan Wilder) for various concerts on the European "Selected" tour and recently, she opened for Planningtorock at the earsthetic Festival, Brighton Dome.

Rheological fluids based firearms mechanisms

An RB-MECHANISM controls the recoil and the reloading process by altering the viscosity of a rheological fluid, or "smart fluid," to control the force necessary to accelerate a piece of ammunition to high speeds.

Rock-Ola

Rock-Ola machined receivers, barrels, bolts, firing pins, extractors, triggers, trigger housings, sears, operating slides, gas cylinders, and recoil plates.

Shiva Recoil: Live/Unlive

Shiva Recoil: Live/Unlive is a live performance album by Paul Schütze and Phantom City, released in 1997 through Virgin Records.

SureFire

These weapon-mounted lights use a shock-absorbing assembly to protect the tungsten filament bulb from recoil, alternatively shock-resistant LEDs are used.

Tom Swift and His Aerial Warship

Tom's invention is similar to the recoil system used in the French 75mm field gun.
