Abstract
A reduced recoil weapon includes a housing and a receiver translatably disposed in the housing. A barrel is fixed to the receiver. A pair of recoil rods has first ends that are fixed to the receiver and are translatable with respect to the housing. Recoil springs are disposed around each recoil rod with first ends of the recoil springs abutting a forward surface of the housing. A bolt and bolt carrier are translatably disposed in the receiver. A bolt carrier return spring is disposed in the housing between the bolt carrier and a rear surface of the housing. Gas pressure from a gas piston on the barrel translates an operating rod toward the bolt carrier. An operating rod spring disposed in the receiver biases the operating rod toward the gas piston.
