Abstract:
1. A soft recoil system, comprising: a cannon barrel returning device mounted to a recoil device for absorbing a recoil force occurring when ammunition is fired, and configured to backwardly press a breech ring coupled to a rear end of a cannon barrel, such that the cannon barrel is located to a preset position; a cannon barrel fixing device installed at the recoil device, and configured to fix the cannon barrel when the cannon barrel returns to the preset position; a forward momentum generator connected to the recoil device and the breech ring, respectively, configured to forwardly move the cannon barrel by applying a force to the breech ring, such that the ammunition is fired while the cannon barrel moves forward, and configured to reduce a recoil force by partially attenuating recoil momentum resulting from the firing of the ammunition, by forward momentum; and a firing device installed at a bracket coupled to the recoil device, and configured to fire the ammunition by coming in contact with the breech ring while the breech ring moves forward by the forward momentum generator.
