Prudent American Technologies has released theĀ Pauldron Recoil Reduction System, a ground-breaking family of Assault Rifle (AR) Buffers and Stock Inserts that absorb the majority of recoil; enhancing performance by reducing shoulder pain.

Co-developed with Knight Technical Solutions, the Pauldron utilizes innovative spring technology to convert recoil into heat energy and actively dissipate both primary and secondary recoil. 

Two-thirds of the felt recoil is absorbed when the springs open and two-thirds of the remaining energy is absorbed when the spring closes. Recoil is reduced by up to 85%, depending on weapon and caliber configuration. Pre-assembled spring stacks are optimized for weapon classes, which are then put into a form factor that fits the weapon of choice.

The AR Buffers are designed as drop-in replacements for standard AR-10 buffers in carbine and rifle lengths, with pre-assembled spring stacks optimized for .270, .308, 30-06, and large caliber weapons.

The Stock Inserts are a drop-in for hollow butt rifles. They are optimized for the most popular calibers, ranging from .308 and its family of ammunition to a shotgun variant.

ā€œThe Pauldron Recoil Reduction System offers shooters a powerful, modern solution for their recoil protection needs,ā€ said Kevin Hambrice, VP Sales and Marketing at Prudent American Technologies. 

ā€œRecoil pads and muzzle brakes claim recoil reduction but fail to measure up when properly tested. The Pauldron reduces recoil up to 85%, making a shotgun loaded with buck shot feel like a .308, a Remington 700 loaded with a 300 Win Mag feel like a sub .308, and an AR-10 with a .308 feel like an AR-15. 

ā€œThis means a shooter will experience better posture and faster sighting because their body no longer feels or anticipates the massive recoil.ā€
