Why does a gun barrel recoil up after firing and not down or to the left or right?

What browning a-5 had adjustable recoil spring?

No, the recoil springs are not adjustable. You can stretch one out and reinstall it, but it will wear back down again if in fact it is too weak to operate the recoiling barrel. The spring should be replaced.

What is the locking system on the M9 pistol?

The M9 pistol uses an "oscillating Block" locking system. At the moment of firing, the slide and barrel are locked together. They are both driven rearward by recoil- but after about 3mm of travel, the barrel tips down, unlocking from the slide, which continues to the rear. For additional information, do a web search for 3-23.25, the manual on the M9 pistol.

What should you do before firing a shot from a small vessel?

Sit down!! The recoil from the shotgun is likely to have you in the water, rifle and all.

What does it mean when you see a pole protruding from the cannon barrel?

There are 3 times that a pole would be in a cannon barrel:First to swab the cannon barrel of debris from previous firing,To ram down the cartridge,Finally to ram down the cannonball.

Why is my friend naggin me for this gun Winchester model 1911 sl sn A32858 what makes is interesting?

Possibly because the the Winchester 1911SL (self loading) shotgun was the original John M. Browning automatic shotgun design that eventually went on to become (with some slight changes the Browning Auto-5. It used the Browning short-recoil cycle. Firing recoil initiates a rearward movement of the locked barrel/bolt unit. The barrel/bolt assembly is slowed by the barrel lug compressing a recoil-spring. This is combined with the binding effect of a friction washer assembly that surrounds the magazine tube. The barrel lug impacts a stop on the receiver face. The barrel's rearward movement stops abruptly and in sequence, the bolt unlocks and disengages from the barrel extension while extracting and ejecting the spent case. All the while being slowed by a bolt recoil spring mounted in the butt-stock. The barrel recoil spring returns the barrel and extension into battery. The bolt recoil spring starts the bolt forward and the elevation of new cartridge in line to the breech where lock up in the barrel extension and breech occurs. This model is unique in that there is no bolt handle. You prepare it to fire by grasping a knurled portion of the barrel, behind the front sight and compressing the barrel down into the receiver to duplicate its short-recoil firing cycle. The sear and disconnector arrangement is almost identical to that of the 1911 Colt pistol, which Browning also designed. Also, all of the metal component parts (incl the receiver and barrel extension) are milled from forged steel billets, a prohibitively costly process in this day and time. The 1911 SL as designed suffered from a barrel recoil spring that weakened quickly and caused the barrel to batter at its stop. A symptom of the spring fatigue is the fore-stock splitting from the repeated shock. The butt-stock is a tri-laminate design that doesn't withstand field use and will eventually separate. The bolt recoil spring guide (a metal capped wooden dowel), has a tendency to swell and soften. The result is it will break the milled-out center layer of the butt-stock. More often than not, the result is binding of the bolt recoil spring. Your shotgun is now a club since there is no bolt handle to assist the bolt back into battery with the barrel breech. JM Browning and Winchester had a serious disagreement over this shotgun. Browning severed all relations with Winchester and took the design to Herstal, Belgium. It was then produced under license by Fabrique Nationale des Armes (FN) as the Browning Automatic Shotgun (aka the Auto-5). Unlike the 1911 SL, it had a bolt handle no knurling on the barrel.

How do you break down 1911 colt 45?

grip pistol in right hand,remove clip,on front of barrel slide lever in opposite direction, pull back breech and slowly move toward front while unlocking slide lever. once past lever, barrel and recoil spring are exposed..lift tabs and remove short barrel and spring. that's it. do so carefully or you will lose spring.

What kind of force is the backward kick of a rifle after its been shot?

This will vary depending on the cartridge fired, and the weight of the rifle. With a heavy target rifle in caliber 22 LR, it will be barely noticeable. With a light hunting rifle in 30-06 caliber, it can be enough force to be painful. With VERY powerful cartridges, such as the .577 T-Rex, recoil may be enough to knock you down. Recoil is the REACTION to the ACTION of accelerating a bullet down the barrel. The weight and speed of the bullet generate the recoil (heavier, faster bullets = more recoil) , modified by the weight of the rifle- heavier= less recoil.

What do ailerons make an airplane do?

Ailerons allow the airplane to make barrels rolls. If the left aileron is down, and the right aileron is up, then the plane will do a barrel roll towards the left. If the left aileron is down, and the right aileron is down then the plane will do a barrel roll towards the right.

Is it possible to hip fire a mini gun?

The ones used for this in movie scenes were slowed down to approximately 1/3 their actual rate of fire, and were firing blanks... additionally, the actors had to wear flack vest.

How do you disassemble a Remington Model 51 380?

Please don't rotate the barrel. I cant tell you the number of times that I've seen beautiful old Remington 51's buggered by trying to disassemble them like a Colt or FN.I'm just sniping the disassemble partDisassembly:Remove the magazine.Cock the gun (make sure the chamber is empty).Hold the slide back about one-quarter inch to align the half-moon cutout on the left side of the slide with the barrel pin. Poke the end of the barrel pin on the right side, to raise the head of the pin on the left side. Remove the pin with a small screwdriver or the toe of the magazine base plate.Pull the slide back about three-quarters of an inch and grasp the end of the barrel (which has serrations to assist gripping it). Depress the grip safety and pull the slide and barrel assembly off the receiver.Pull the barrel forward about a half-inch against the tension of the recoil spring and tilt the barrel lug toward the left, locking the barrel into a recess in the slide.Press the moveable breech block backward against the tension of the firing pin spring and lift up at its rear (you may need something to pry it up). With the rear of the block lifted up, you can move the breech block forward and remove it from the slide. (The extractor may fall out on the .32 models--there is no spring.)Tip the slide so the firing pin and its spring can drop out the end of the barrel.Pull the barrel forward against the tension of the recoil spring. You will see there is a recess in the slide that is the exact size of the recoil spring bushing. Tilt the barrel up and catch the bushing against the rear of this recess, then slide the barrel backward and lift it up and out of the slide, followed by the bushing and recoil spring. You may have to pull the bushing back toward the front of the slide a little to free it.Assembly:Insert the recoil spring and bushing into the slide and tilt the bushing up a little so it catches on the slide recess.Insert the barrel and push it toward the front of the slide, compressing the recoil spring and bushing, and snap it into place in the slide. (You may have to compress the spring and bushing by hand to get them to snap into place.)Pull the barrel forward about a half-inch against the tension of the recoil spring and tilt the barrel lug toward the left, locking the barrel into its recess in the slide.Insert the firing pin and spring into the fixed part of the breech that is attached to the slide.Hook the fore part of the moveable breech block over the front of the firing pin spring and pull it backward and down at the rear until it snaps into place in the slide.Unhook the barrel from its recess, slide it back against the breech block, and make sure the barrel lug is centered properly.Align the slide on the forward end of the receiver and install it on its rails. Push it back until it is stopped by the disconnector, which projects upward just behind the magazine well. You may encounter some resistance, but this is normal. You may have to depress the ejector to get it out of the way.Depress the grip safety, push the disconnector down, and press the slide back until it locks onto the receiver.Hold the slide back about one-quarter inch to align the half-moon cutout on the left side of the slide with the hole in the receiver and insert the pin that holds the barrel in place.Replace the magazine.AnswerSimilar to the Colt 1903 series. When you pull the slide back slightly you will be able to rotate the barrel to unlock it. Disassembly is actually pretty complicated. I suggest you purchase one of the reproduction factory owners manuals.

How does a firearm work?

The basics: you activate the trigger, the hammer strikes the firing pin, the firing pin strikes the primer on the cartridge, the bullet is propelled down the barrel and goes to wherever the sights were aimed the instant the shot broke.

What are the parts of a caliber 38 and their functions?

Frame - holds all the parts Barrel - what the projectile goes down Hammer - strikes the firing pin sights - sighting
