Abstract
Pressure damper for recoilless weapon designed to reduce the pressure in the area around and immediately to the rear of the muzzle of the barrel. A container with liquid is placed in the barrel close to its muzzle or in a forward extended portion of the barrel and arranged to be burst when the weapon is fired so that the liquid is suddenly released and mixed with the gases from the powder.
