ABSTRACT:
A shotgun, such as a pump shotgun, has the recoil thereof controlled a spring system. The shotgun includes a breech bolt that is locked to an operating arm during cocking, but is then released from that operating arm when in the battery location and is held in the battery position by the spring system. The spring system includes springs that are engaged with an element that moves in response to the firing of the shotgun, and are sequentially released from that moving element as that element recoils. One form of the invention includes a pump shotgun in which the breech block moves in a recoil movement in response to firing the shotgun, with the springs engaging the moving breech block and sequentially disengaging from that moving breech block. The breech block is releasably attached to the cocking rails of the pump shotgun by one-way locks so the block can be moved back into a breech covering location by the normal action associated with cocking a pump shotgun, but will be released to move in a recoil movement upon firing the shotgun. Another form of the invention releases a weight to contact the shotgun in a forward direction when recoil energy in the barrel is at or near its maximum to counter that recoil energy.
