Abstract
Recoil-reducing firearm including a compensating inertial mass coupled to the firearm by a flexible and resilient mass support, where the mass support permits translation of the compensating inertial mass along a translation axis but substantially prevents movement of the compensating inertial mass in a direction orthogonal to the translation axis. The mass support is configured so that movement of the compensating inertial mass in a distal direction can at least partially dissipate energy imparted to the firearm by firing a round of ammunition and impelling the projectile down the barrel.
