Russian Army Mystery Gun Does Not Recoil

Item

Arms experts were baffled when they examined Russian guns captured by Finnish soldiers. The guns do not recoil when fired, but the mechanism that prevents recoil has not been explained. The | breech has a funnel-like attachment which swings to one side. One theory is that this funnel utilizes explosion gases escaping through vents to produce a forward movement neutralizing recoil.
