Go to Guest Book, then Tech Section.

Down under my 2nd post in the "shotguns section" there's some links there...

would the weapon moving fwd affect the cycling of the action? you know, the momentum of the bolt moving rearward and all that?

 

The cycling of a semi or full auto gun is only part of the inertial recoil equation. AKs have inherently less recoil than other guns (i.e., ARs by virtue of the reciprocation of the carrier) because of the carrier. By applying forward thrust to the gun, you cut the gun's tendency to continue back after the bullet leaves the barrel. Giving it that thrust addresses most of the inertia on the gun. The cycling of the action is minimal in terms of changing the inertial forces, as compared to providing some forward thrust.

If the weapon is braked, it helps cycling. I'm sure you've heard of "limp-wristing" with pistols that causes a misfire. Same principle with any semi-auto weapon. If the gun has a way of absorbing too much recoil by being cushioned, it can cause the bolt to blow back short of the extractor and cause a misfeed. By having the gun move forward or not move backwards due to a brake, the gun will be more stationary and the bolt can go back even more effectively helping cycling. You can shoot faster with less recoil and less jams.

 

Bingo!

I'm definately in for a shark brake if you make 'em...! (one of the 10%)

Can someone point me to a pic of the Finn tank style brake? I must suck at searching because I can't find one.

 

Not totally sure but scroll up this page to post #16. Sure looks like a tank-style brake.
