For those of you who are professional physicists or engineers, just wanted your thoughts on this:
Would a hydraulic or air shock system, say for the front fork of a bike but scaled down and adjusted for recoil impulse be superior in longevity compared to the modern spring system used in small arms today? While I admit that springs utilize the KISS principle, they have to be replaced in 1911's every 2-3000 rounds.
