DEFINITION

Classification: 89/162

(under subclass 160) Guns wherein the barrel recoils rearwardly relative to the stock or other mount.

(1) Note. The breech block is usually locked to the barrel when the shot is fired, and is unlocked by the movement of the barrel on recoil. The locking member may be mounted on either the breech block or the barrel.

(2) Note. Usually the barrel has axial, rectilinear motion.

(3) Note. In this and indented subclasses the motion of the breech block considered is that relative to the barrel to open the breech for reloading.
