Abstract:
1. A recoil control device in combination with a firearm having a barrel, the device comprising: a bolt head configured to alternate between a forward position within the axis of the barrel and a rearward position tilting out of the axis of the barrel, the alternating positions in response to the firing of one or more cartridges; and an inertia block positioned at the rearward end of the bolt head such that said bolt head imparts an impulse to the inertia block as the bolt head alternates between the forward position and the rearward position, the movement of the inertia block having a component lateral to or perpendicular to the firing axis of the barrel of the firearm, the inertia block having a first surface for receiving an impulse from the bolt head when the bolt head is at a forward position and the bolt head within the axis of the barrel, and the inertia block having a second surface for receiving an impulse from the bolt head as the bolt head moves to a rearward position and the inertia block advances to the end of its movement, wherein the first and second surfaces have different angles relative to the axis of the barrel.
