155 Millimeter Howitzer Recoil Mechanism

The 155 Millimeter Howitzer Recoil Mechanism is a component of the artillery system known as a howitzer. It is specifically designed for guns with a caliber of 155 millimeters, which fall under the supply class Guns, Over 150mm Through 200mm in the supply group Weapons.

The recoil mechanism is an essential part of the howitzer, as it helps manage the powerful recoil forces generated when the gun is fired. Its primary function is to absorb and control the backward movement of the gun after firing, allowing for quick repositioning and subsequent firing.

The recoil mechanism typically consists of several components, including a hydraulic or pneumatic system, a buffer system, and a recuperator. These components work together to absorb the energy generated by the firing process and gradually return the gun to its original position.

By effectively managing the recoil forces, the recoil mechanism ensures the stability and accuracy of the howitzer during firing, allowing for precise targeting and increased operational efficiency on the battlefield.
