Unique "tubeless" recoil system from ELI Military Simulations provides automatic recoil for automatic and semi-automatic handguns and gives to the user the realistic feel of live firing. The recoil system can be used with wide variety of simulators as well as for basic weaponry training.
Instead of traditional tubes of pressurised air the system incorporates liquid CO2 reservoirs, located in the weapons magazine. It gives to the user freedom of movement, thus significantly widening the area of its use compared to conventional systems.
Another advantage of the system is that it can be installed on real unmodified weapons. The modifications do not affect the weapons handling parameters. If needed, the weapons can be converted back for live firing just in few minutes.
The magazines can be refilled in seconds and reloading of the weapons is carried out in exactly the same way as in real life. The shot count is at least equal to the magazine cartridge capacity but in most cases exceeds it by factor of two or three.
Presently the "tubeless" recoil imitation is available for the M16, M4, AK4, AK47, Galil ARM/SAR, Mini UZi, Beryl, G36, T81, PM98, PM84P automatic rifles and for the machine guns MG3, PKM and UKM2000.
Recoil imitation is available for Glock 19 & 17, FN Mark III HP, Beretta 92FS, CZ75, CŽ SP01, H&K P2000, SIG Sauer P226 pistol models and for SAKO TRG 22, 12,7mm TOR, 7,62mm BOR and SVD sniper rifles.
Additional weapon models for tubeless recoil can be adapted on customer request.
The infantry weapons recoil imitation is used by Estonian Defense Forces since 1997 and has proved to be very cost-effective in infantry weapon training process.
