Abstract
A recovery system for a disrupter barrel. The recovery system limits the distance the disrupter travels as a result of a force or recoil that occurs upon firing the disrupter.
Claims18
A disrupter for disabling a provided target, the disrupter comprising:
- a barrel for launching a provided projectile toward the target to disable the target;
- a housing having a channel formed through the housing, an axis along the channel, the channel receives the barrel to position the barrel toward the target along the axis prior to launching the projectile;
- an aerodynamic brake coupled to the barrel;
- and
- a coating on at least a portion of an inner surface of the channel;
- wherein
- the barrel contacts the coating while positioned in the channel;
- responsive to launching the projectile, a force of recoil ejects the barrel from the channel and moves the barrel away from the housing;
- and
- the aerodynamic brake limits travel of the barrel away from the housing.

- a barrel for launching a provided projectile toward the target to disable the target;
- a housing having a channel formed through the housing, an axis along the channel, the barrel positioned in the channel along the axis prior to launching the projectile, the housing positions the barrel toward the target;
- a coating on at least a portion of an inner surface of the channel;
- wherein
- the barrel contacts the coating while positioned in the channel;
- and
- responsive to a force of recoil from launching the projectile, the coating facilitates ejecting the barrel out of the channel and movement of the barrel away from the housing.
