Abstract

A low recoil firearm 1 provided with counterweights 22 , the number of counterweights 22 a, 22 b is two or more, and a kinetic energy of the bullet received by a barrel 11 is transferred and distributed to the counterweights 22 a, 22 b . A stop mechanism separately stops the counterweights 22 a, 22 b from each other. Although the kinetic energy transmitted to one counterweight is eliminated in the conventional technology, the kinetic energy distributed to two counterweights 22 a, 22 b is eliminated in the present invention.

Claims (26)

1. A low recoil firearm provided with a plurality of counterweights, wherein

the number of the plurality of counterweights is two or more, and

a stop mechanism for stopping the plurality of counterweights with a time difference from each other is provided, and

the plurality of counterweights is configured to move from a first state where the counterweights are in contact with each other to a second state where the counterweights are separated from each other.

2. The low recoil firearm according to claim 1 , wherein

weights of the plurality of counterweights are equal to each other.

3. The low recoil firearm according to claim 1 , wherein

weights of the plurality of counterweights are different from each other.

4. The low recoil firearm according to claim 1 , wherein

the plurality of counterweights is arranged to surround an axial line of a trajectory.

5. The low recoil firearm according to claim 1 , wherein

the plurality of counterweights is arranged to sandwich an axial line of a trajectory.

6. The low recoil firearm according to claim 1 , wherein

the low recoil firearm includes a member for causing a recoil, and

a buffer material is arranged between the plurality of counterweights and the member for causing the recoil.

7. The low recoil firearm according to claim 1 , wherein

the low recoil firearm includes a plurality of members for causing a recoil, and

a group of the plurality of counterweights is independently provided on each of the plurality of members for causing the recoil.

8. The low recoil firearm according to claim 1 , wherein

the plurality of counterweights is connected with each other so that the plurality of counterweights can be separated from each other by a predetermined distance in a moving direction.

9. The low recoil firearm according to claim 1 , wherein

the plurality of counterweights is configured to be stopped independently from each other.

10. The low recoil firearm according to claim 1 , wherein

the plurality of counterweights is configured to be stopped by making the counterweights collide with the stop mechanism.

11. The low recoil firearm according to claim 1 , wherein

the plurality of counterweights is configured to be stopped by making the counterweights slide on the stop mechanism.
