95% recoil reducer? Too good to be true?

It's not "paint". it's a layered composite material and was hard as hell just to apply. The lamination that was applied kept separating on every 4th or 5th layer and took forever to get it right. I remember North Amer Rockwell was firing/hiring engineers about every 2 or 3 days over that problem on the B1. Same technology was used on the various missiles being developed about the same time.

Well, for it not being paint, it is defnitly paint-like in that it was applied with a large CNC spraygun robot to avoid altering the geometry of the F117. It was a multi-layer finish though.

they just change the chamber

So that you can put in two bullets. One pointed to the target, the other goes 180 opposite direction.

so far, there's been no complaints from testers ....

I found this ad as I was surfin. Google got me here. IN another google result, someone claiming to be dr. Z said the energy was being redirected to centrifical energy. So, if he put some kind of rotational part on board ...

I have an open mind when it comes to these things, but I also have a closed wallet....

You can redirect the forces of recoil, but you can't cheat Mr. Newton.

Sure you can. Just watch some TV shows and movies. They do it all the time so it must be true.
