20140317979 | PULSE RECOILING SYSTEM - A pulse recoiling system located over the barrel portion of a sub-cal weapon. The pulse recoiling system is located above the barrel of the weapon and includes a shortened and modified bolt, a threaded operating rod which screws into the bolt transfer block, and a static buffer housing that contains a recoil spring with a small round spacer on a first end and an off-set pressure cap on a second end.

The hammer resting against the modified bolt, forward spring tension and length of the operating rod hold the cartridge in chamber for a fraction of a second after discharge. The bolt then cycles rearward, the spent casing is ejected, and the forward buffer spring is compressed by the reward force created by the discharged cartridge. The operating rod compressing the buffer spring restricts the length of travel of the bolt thereby transferring any recoil forward of the rifle over the length of the operating rod, thereby minimizing the recoil felt by a user. The weapon may be a rifle, pistol or other weapon. | 10-30-2014 |
