Recoilless rifle A recoilless rifle (RCLR) or recoilless gun is a type of lightweight tube artillery that is designed to allow some of the propellant gases to escape out the rear of the weapon at the moment of ignition, creating forward thrust that counteracts some of the weapon's recoil.lder recoilless rifles are still used by the U.S. National Park Service and the U.S. Forest Service as a system for avalanche control. The Washington State Department of Transportation uses a 105 mm recoilless rifle for avalanche control on Interstate 90.

Railgun A railgun is an electrically powered electromagnetic projectile launcher based on similar principles to the homopolar motor. railgun consists of two parallel metal rails (hence the name) connected to an electrical power supply. When a conductive projectile is inserted between the rails (at the end connected to the power supply), it completes the circuit.

Hunting with Spring Piston Airguns The spring piston airgun generates power using a powerful spring-loaded piston that is housed within a compression chamber. Cocking the gun (using a break barrel, side lever, or under lever mechanism) causes the piston assembly to compress the spring. When the spring is released it pushes the piston forward compressing a column of air in the chamber behind the pellet.

- I've been looking for a low recoil hunting rifle that will take down anything in the North East. I wanted it for deer, bear, and up to Moose. I started with a 7mm-08 semi-auto. and I use the Remmington reduced recoil ammo. At first the Browning wouldn't cycle properly with the reduced recoil loads.

Why would a civilian living peacefully need a semi-automatic gun? A semi-automatic firearm is a gun that, after firing ONE round, automatically loads the next round from the magazine into the chamber, ready to be fired only when the trigger is pressed AGAIN. That is, a semi-automatic gun is one trigger pull = one round fired. You have to pull the trigger again to fire another round. #3 refers to guns that require you to manually load the next round into the chamber through some special action.

What is a Firearm? A firearm is a mechanical device that uses pressure from a burning powder or an explosive charge to force a projectile through and out of a metal tube; a weapon, especially a pistol or rifle, capable of firing a projectile and using an explosive charge as a propellant. A bullet is a lead or copper encased projectile fired through a rifle or handgun barrel. 2  A slug is a lead projectile fired through a shotgun barrel. 3  Shot is a group of lead, steel, tungsten, or bismuth pellets fired through a shotgun barrel.

- Firing pin impressions, breechface marks, extractor marks, ejector marks, and chamber marks, when present and of sufficient quality, are all features used by firearms examiners in their analyses. During the discharge of a firearm, the firing pin strikes the primer of a cartridge, creating microscopic contact marks and unique indentations.

AK-47 The AK-47 is a Russian rifle designed in 1947 by Mikhail Kalashnikov and first used in 1949. It and an updated version called the AKM were used by the Soviet Union's military. It was later replaced by the AK-74. The AK-47 quickly became famous and spread all around the world because it was simple to fire, clean and maintain, and also because of its reliability, meaning that it can be fired for a long time without jamming. The AK-47 and its successors continue to be used by many of the world's ar

Piston Powered: Ruger SR-762 Review The SR-556 is a reliable, accurate rifle, and plenty of shooters understood why the gun cost a little more. On the heels of the success of the SR-556, Ruger has now introduced a bigger, beefier AR-10 version of the rifle, the SR-762.It’s chambered in 7.62×51 NATO (.308 Winchester), and it has the same type of high-performance piston-powered operating system you’ll find in its little brother, the SR-556.hooting the SR-762. The Ruger SR-762’s piston system is easily adjustable and can be customized to match different loads. Author Photo. But there’s a reason that the gun costs a bit more because of that piston system, which the more I shot, the more I really liked.

Firearm malfunction Mechanical malfunctions of a firearm (commonly called jams) include failures to feed, extract, or eject a cartridge; failure to fully cycle after firing; and failure of a recoil-or gas-operated firearm to lock back when empty (largely a procedural hazard, as slide lock is a visual cue that the firearm is empty).

AK-47 The AK-47, or AK as it is officially known (Russian: автомат калашникова, translit. Avtomat Kalashnikova, lit. 'Kalashnikov's Automatic Rifle'), also known as the Kalashnikov, is a selective-fire (semi-automatic and fully automatic), gas-operated 7.62×39 mm assault rifle, developed in the Soviet Union by Mikhail Kalashnikov. It is the originating firearm of the Kalashnikov rifle (or AK) family. Design work on the AK-47 began in the last year of World War II (1945). In 1946, the AK-47 was presented for official military trials, and in 1948, the fixed-stock version was introduced into active service with selected units of the Soviet Army.

How spring-piston rifles behave This is a review for many of you, but we have enough new readers that perhaps it’s good to go over the points of how the spring-piston gun works. What I’m about to say holds true for guns with gas springs as well as guns with coiled steel mainsprings.s a rule, long-stroke spring-piston guns are the most sensitive to hold, and long-stroke breakbarrels are the most sensitive of all. Then there’s the weight of the piston to consider. A heavy piston causes more rearward recoil when it begins moving and more forward recoil when it comes to a stop.
