Detailed Mathematical Model of the Gas Operated Weapon Recoil

Abstract

The paper presents analysis of the free recoil phenomenon of gas operated automatic small arms with short-stroke piston system. Physical and mathematical models of analysed system action have been presented too. Recoil phenomenon has been divided for several specific periods. Force generated by the pressure in the gas chamber decreases recoil velocity of the gas operated weapon. Collisions of the moving parts inside the weapon also affects the recoil velocity.
