Recoil reducing electromagnet system for firearms

An electromagnetic system coupled to a firearm, the firearm comprising a bolt movable rearward and frontward along a rear-to-front, axial direction between a forward position and a rearward position, the electromagnetic system comprising:

• a first electromagnet unit comprising:
• a housing defining an interior space, the housing and interior space elongately formed along the axial direction,
• at least one electrically-conductive coil wound over and around the housing, and
• at least one magnet, movable jointly with the bolt in the axial direction with respect to and through the at least one electrically-conductive coil, and within the interior space and relative to the housing, wherein
• the at least one electrically-conductive coil is configured to generate at least one magnetic field that opposes a rearward movement of the at least one magnet in the axial direction and thereby reduces a rearward recoil of the bolt.

An electromagnetic system coupled to a firearm, the firearm comprising a bolt movable rearward and frontward along a rear-to-front, axial direction between a forward position and a rearward position, the electromagnetic system comprising:

• an electrical power source, carried by the firearm;
• a first electromagnet unit comprising:
• a housing defining an interior space, the housing and interior space elongately formed along the axial direction,
• at least one electrically-conductive coil wound over and around the housing, the at least one electrically-conductive coil connected to the electrical power source, and
• at least one magnet, movable jointly with the bolt in the axial direction with respect to and through the at least one electrically-conductive coil, and within the interior space and relative to the housing, wherein
• the at least one electrically-conductive coil is configured to generate at least one magnetic field responsively to an electrical current generated by the electrical power source flowing through the at least one electrically-conductive coil, wherein the at least one magnetic field opposes a rearward movement of the at least one magnet in the axial direction and thereby reduces a rearward recoil of the bolt;
• and
• a second electromagnet unit comprising:
• an electrically-conductive, generator coil electrically connected to the electrical power source,
• a magnet, and
• a connector connecting the magnet of the second electromagnet unit to the bolt such that the magnet of the second electromagnet unit and the bolt are movable jointly in the axial direction with respect to the electrically-conductive, generator coil, wherein the movement of the magnet of the second electromagnet unit is configured to produce an induced current in the generator coil, the induced current feedable to the electrical power source.
