    Smaller pellets lose velocity more rapidly and penetrate the target less; Larger pellets means fewer pellets, resulting in a reduced probability of hits; Heavier loads produce more recoil and greater velocity than lighter loads; Reduced recoil loads (less shot and/or lower velocity) may produce smaller patterns, which may decrease hit probability

  3. Riot gun - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riot_gun

    Due to the reduced power of riot control rounds, there is insufficient energy to cycle the actions of gas operated and recoil operated firearms, so riot shotguns are manually operated, usually pump action. The advantage of using a riot shotgun for riot control is that the shotgun is a dual use firearm, and can switch quickly to and from the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muzzle_brake

    A muzzle brake or recoil compensator is a device connected to, or a feature integral (ported barrel) to the construction of, the muzzle or barrel of a firearm or cannon that is intended to redirect a portion of propellant gases to counter recoil and unwanted muzzle rise. [1] Barrels with an integral muzzle brake are often said to be ported.

  5. Flash suppressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_suppressor

    Originally limited to "special purpose" roles, it was now expected that all infantry weapons with shorter barrels would experience this problem, and thereby be of limited use in low-light situations. Flash suppressors became common on late- World War II and later assault rifle designs, and are almost universal on these weapons today.

  6. Recoil operation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recoil_operation

    The short recoil action dominates the world of centerfire semi-automatic pistols, being found in nearly all weapons chambered for high-pressure pistol cartridges of 9×19mm Parabellum and larger, while low-pressure pistol cartridges of .380 ACP and smaller generally use the blowback method of operation. Short recoil operation differs from long ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atchisson_AA-12

    The AA-12 (Auto Assault - 12), originally designed and known as the Atchisson Assault Shotgun, is a fully automatic combat shotgun developed in 1972 by Maxwell Atchisson. . However, the original development by Atchisson seems to have produced only a few guns at prototype-level, with the development that ultimately led to the gun entering the market being done later by Military Police Systems ...

  8. Blowback (firearms) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowback_(firearms)

    In firearms, a blowback system is generally defined as an operating system in which energy to operate the firearm's various mechanisms, and automate the loading of another cartridge, is derived from the inertia of the spent cartridge case being pushed out the rear of the chamber by rapidly expanding gases produced by a burning propellant, typically gunpowder. [3]

  9. Free recoil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_recoil

    Free recoil / Frecoil is a vernacular term or jargon for recoil energy of a firearm not supported from behind. Free recoil denotes the translational kinetic energy ( E t ) imparted to the shooter of a small arm when discharged and is expressed in joules (J), or foot-pound force (ft·lb f ) for non-SI units of measure.
