The recoil mechanism is a system used in firearms and some machinery to absorb and manage the energy produced when a projectile is fired. When the trigger is pulled, the explosive force pushes the bullet forward, causing the gun to move backward, or "recoil." This backward motion is often countered by various designs that help stabilize the firearm and improve accuracy. In firearms, the recoil mechanism can include features like a recoil spring or a buffer system that absorbs some of the energy, reducing the impact on the shooter. This mechanism is crucial for maintaining control and comfort during shooting, especially in high-caliber weapons.
