Abstract

The present invention relates to an arrangement for improving shooting accuracy of a weapon comprising i) a barrel 13, ii) at least one component iii) a holding device mounted on said barrel 13, said holding device comprising means for holding 1a said at least one component allowing said at least one component to be displaced relative to and in parallel with the barrel and the means for holding from 1 mm to 200 mm during which displacement said at least one component does not absorb any substantial recoiling forces.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. Arrangement for improving shooting accuracy of a weapon comprising
a barrel;
at least one component, said at least one component comprises a braking unit;
a holding device mounted on said barrel, said holding device comprising means for holding said at least one component allowing said at least one component to be displaced relative to and in parallel with the barrel and the means for holding from 1 mm to 200 mm from a first position to a second position, during which displacement said at least one component does not absorb any substantial recoiling forces,
wherein the at least one component reaches the second position after a projectile has left the barrel and the braking unit starts to absorb recoiling forces when the at least one component reaches the second position.

2. Arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein said means for holding comprises at least one shaft along which said at least one component is displaced.

3. Arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein said at least one component further comprises a sight.

4. Arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein said at least one component is positioned prior to firing at said means for holding at a distance of from 5 mm to 20 mm from an end point of said means for holding.

5. Arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein said at least one component includes a sight mounted on the braking unit.

6. Arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein said at least one component is positioned from 5 to 15 mm from an end point of said means for holding.

7. Arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the braking unit is mounted on said means for holding allowing said braking unit to slide along said means for holding 2 to 20 mm without absorbing any substantial recoiling forces.

8. Arrangement according to claim 2 , wherein the second position comprises an end of the at least one shaft.
