Abstract
A system and method for absorbing a recoil force in a weapon is provided. A recoil mechanism includes a housing that contains a hydraulic fluid and has an inner wall defining a first chamber and a second chamber within the housing. The inner wall has at least one orifice that connects the first and second chambers. A piston is slidably disposed within the first chamber of the housing. A shuttle valve is slidably disposed within the first chamber of the housing and has at least one orifice configured to align with the at least one orifice in the inner wall of the housing to define a fluid passageway between the first and second chambers. A shuttle valve control is operable to generate a magnetic field in response to an applied current to control the movement of the shuttle valve to thereby control the size of the fluid passageway between the first and second chambers.
