ABSTRACT:
A recoil mitigation apparatus for a projectile-firing device, such as an explosives disrupter, is provided. At least one brake shoe is positioned proximate the projectile-firing device and means are provided for urging the at least one brake shoe toward the projectile-firing device. The urging of the at least one brake shoe provides a frictional force to mitigate the recoil of the projectile-firing device. In a preferred embodiment, at least one pair of brake shoes are provided. In a further preferred embodiment, the each of the at least one pair of brake shoes are positioned in a facing, spaced apart relationship and the at least one pair of brake shoe combination is positioned in a coaxial relationship to the projectile-firing device.
