Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0523535A2] A low-recoil firearm (10) is proposed, especially a compressed-air weapon or a hand firearm, comprising a stock assembly (25) and a barrel assembly (20) which can be displaced relative to the stock assembly (25) in the longitudinal direction (B) of the firearm (10). In the event of firing, the barrel assembly (20) can be moved counter to the firing direction (A) from a firing-readiness position. The recoil of the barrel assembly (20) caused by firing is constrained by a latching device (40) which can be overcome by the recoil energy of the barrel assembly (20). When the latching device (40) is overcome, work is carried out by the barrel assembly (20), which work is extracted from the recoil energy so that the recoil which is finally transmitted to the person firing the weapon is at least significantly reduced. In the case of the firearm according to the invention, the axial force required to overcome the latching device (40) is adjustable in the barrel longitudinal direction (B). <IMAGE>
