Abstract
Systems () and methods () for recoil absorption. The methods comprising: causing a moving carrier () to freely travel linearly in a first direction by discharging at least one recoil producing device (-); absorbing an impulse force resulting from discharging the recoil producing device using a spring () having a first end coupled to the moving carrier and a second end () coupled to a fixed frame member (); and applying a pulling force by the spring to the moving carrier in a second direction opposed from the first direction at an end of spring travel, whereby a uni-directional force transfer mechanism () is caused to engage an elongate latching element so as to latch the moving carrier in position and prevent the moving carrier from freely traveling in the second direction.
