20100175548 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR THE REDUCTION OF MUZZLE JUMP IN FIREARMS AND WEAPONS - Muzzle jump of projectile-firing guns and weapons systems is significantly reduced by creating a momentum, rotating in the direction opposite to the rotational direction of the momentum causing muzzle jump by redirecting not a gas flow produced by a blast of ammunition but redirecting a projectile traveling through the barrel. The barrel is bent in such a way that curvature of the bend is made convex in relation to the support of said gun or systems. The plane of said curvature coincides with the plane of the momentum created by recoil of the said gun or system. Since the projectile possesses significantly bigger mass than escaping gases, the created contra-momentum is much bigger than the one which could be achieved by redirecting a flow of escaping gases so it could be sufficient to completely negate momentum created by recoil force of said projectiles firing gun or weapon system. In preferred embodiment there is an attachable device which allows adjustment of the bend angle by rotating a skewed extension of the barrel in the skewed cylindrical opening of said attachable device's housing. Said device can provide relatively inexpensive implementation of the suggested concept.
