Reduction of recoil on large-calibre long firearms
Precise and ergonomic
With this application in large-calibre firearms such as sports gun, the recoil caused by every shot is considerably reduced. The newly designed energy storage mechanism, which can be built into every shaft, was made using igus® plain bearings. This means that precision is significantly increased especially when firing shots quickly and during complex situations. Shooting is also much more ergonomic for riflemen, as the shoulder joint is no longer put under so much stress as with conventional firing.
