Abstract

The artillery weapons have been developed from the thirteenth century to the present. Generally, it contains a gun body and a gun mount. The gun body consists of a barrel, a breech, a breechblock, and a muzzle brake. In addition, the gun mount is composed of recoil mechanisms, elevating mechanisms, traversing mechanisms, and supporting parts. Among these parts, the muzzle brake and recoil mechanism can reduce the mass recoil force during firing, and push the gun body back to the original position after firing. Before the mid-nineteenth century, general guns did not assemble any device having the cushioning effect. For this reason, people had to design bulky guns to avoid the powerful recoil force. It took much time to return the gun tube to the original position and aim again. In order to solve this problem, the designers tried to install a buffer in the base which could generate a retarding force to stop the recoil motion. Finally, the recoil mechanism was invented in the ninth decade of the nineteenth century.
