I’ve been in the firearms industry for a LONG time. I hate to say it, but there isn’t anything currently available on the US market that will do what he suggests in regards to internal buffering for recoil reduction. There are some products that will lighten the felt recoil but not to the point he is describing.
Our enemies however have dumped a lot of money into this type of technology and they are beginning to utilize it in their small arms systems.
Could something be manufactured to do what your friend is suggesting? Absolutely. Is it currently? Nope, and it’s not going to be. Because of the MG ban, there is very little effort being put into recoil reduction technology here in the US in systems such as the M16 and such.
The AR15 has mild recoil comparatively vs. other firearms but it could benefit from recoil reduction technology for time on target application in full auto over range. It can be done and if we can get rid of the MG ban, a private company will most likely invest the capital and time to do exactly that. For the time being, you’re stuck with products that will deliver mediocre performance compared to what China, Russia, and other semi-unfriendly nations have developed.
Thank Rangel, Hughes and every pinhead elected since who haven’t repealed the Hughes Amendment for that. They’ve put our nation at a disadvantage.
Perhaps he and his team have something we cannot purchase.
I have every reason to believe him. I intend to try it and folow up with him. He is home til late November.
I will ask him if this product is what they are using.
