Controlling the Recoil of .50 Calibre Sniper Rifle

A novel approach is taken to reduce vibration through the design of a passive smart device with the use of magnetic actuators. In the proposed device, magnets are arranged in a particular alignment, so as to attenuate the resulting vibrations from the explosion at the moment of firing. The device has shown to be effective while maintaining a low mass (expected to be approximately ~150 grams), which is a relatively lightweight device for the desired purpose.
