Abstract
The invention relates to a weapon (1), constructed relatively simply and compactly, for shooting ammunition (2), with a barrel (3) with recoil and a braking device (12) damping the barrel recoil. According to the invention, a plastically deformable absorption body (12) is used as the braking device (12) for reducing the recoil energy. Thus, a weapon assembly for firing ammunition is provided, wherein the weapon assembly includes: (a) a weapon including a weapon barrel provided with a recoil spring that holds the weapon barrel in an initial position; and (b) a braking device that damps barrel recoil of the weapon barrel when firing ammunition, wherein the braking device is a plastically deformable absorption body.
