An Evaluation of Magneto Rheological Dampers for Controlling Gun Recoil Dynamics

The application of magneto rheological dampers for controlling recoil dynamics is examined, using a recoil demonstrator that includes a single-shot 50 caliber BMG rifle action and a MR damper. The demonstrator is selected such that it can adequately represent the velocities that commonly occur in we...
