[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 523665, member: 30902"] Actually you can dampen the first phase as well with hydraulics like we do on big guns. Way back before we went all high tech one of the things we used to dampen recoil were mercury filled recoil pads that upon compression shot a stream from the pad into an expansion chamber in the butt. It had a dual dampening effect by shifing mass, as well as just acting as a nice recoil pad. I think it was referred to as a "mercury buffer." Some of the big LR tacticals from 408 Cheytac on up also employ hudraulic recoil buffers built into the stock and stocks specifically designed to flex in such a manner as to absorb some of the shock. Some of the Manners and other tacticals for even our LR rifles have that feature built in. You can't eliminate it but you can manage it to tolerable levels through such means. None of those means however will do as much for reducing overall felt recoil and rearward motion as a good muzzle brake. [/QUOTE]
