Systems and methods for providing firearms with lighter cocking action

摘要

Apparatuses and methods for facilitating reloading and resisting recoil of a firearm include an elastic member in communication with a portion of the firearm. A contact member coupled to the portion of the firearm, the elastic member, or combinations thereof, is movable between a first position in which movement of the portion of the firearm is biased by the elastic member and a second position in which movement of the portion of the firearm is generally unaffected by the elastic member. An actuator can be used to move the contact member between the first and second positions.

主权项

1. An apparatus for facilitating reloading of a firearm, wherein the firearm has a length extending between a front end of the firearm adjacent a barrel and a back end of the firearm, the apparatus comprising:
an elastic member, wherein the elastic member is in communication with a moveable portion of the firearm, wherein the moveable portion comprises a recoil slide and a chamber slide, wherein the recoil slide extends about the elastic member and along the exterior of the chamber slide; at least one contact member, wherein the at least one contact member is moveable between a first position connecting the chamber slide and the recoil slide, whereby movement of the chamber slide is biased by the elastic member, and a second position disconnecting the chamber slide from the recoil slide, whereby movement of the chamber slide is generally unaffected by the elastic member; and an actuator in communication with the at least one contact member for moving the at least one contact member between the first position and the second position.
