Patent attributes
The present invention provides a novel gas impingement and recoil mitigation system for firearms that includes separate systems that reduce recoil, muzzle rise, and user fatigue and includes a system that is of variable size to match the size and caliber of firearm to which the system will attach. The system can attach to a variety of firearms through an appropriately sized standard barrel connector. As propellant gas is redirected through a ported barrel, the force of the over-pressure wave caused by the propellant blast impinges on a piston-like weight-and-spring mechanism, which thrusts forward with a force that is opposite in direction from the typical backward force that causes muzzle rise and recoil. Numerous additional aspects are disclosed.
