Abstract
A recoil mechanism has a hollow cylinder having a first portion adjacent to a closed end having a first inner diameter and a second portion adjacent to an open end having a second inner diameter, and an outwardly facing flange at the open end thereof. An outer spring is positioned over the hollow cylinder and has a second end in contact with the outwardly facing flange. A rod assembly includes a rod coupled to an endplate at a first end thereof and an enlarged portion towards a second end thereof, a washer mounted on the rod between the enlarged portion and the endplate, and a rod spring mounted over the rod between the small washer and the endplate. Moreover, the rod assembly is positioned within the hollow cylinder by inserting the second end of the rod into the open end of the hollow cylinder.
