Sorbothane® Recoil Pad Protects Soldiers From Impact Shock

Today’s modern soldier carries a very versatile weapon system with proven combat performance. It is the weapon of choice with first line infantry as well as Special Forces units. Not only does it have the power and range of a 5.56mm rifle but the carbine barrel is designed to accept a grenade launcher which can generate harmful recoil energy. A unique shock absorbing Sorbothane® pad was engineered to protect the soldier from the damaging effects of recoil. This Sorbothane® recoil pad is designed to precisely fit into the weapons distinctive sliding buttstock which adapts to different firing positions as well as soldiers with various physical characteristics.

Sorbothane®, a one-of-a-kind proprietary material, is specified by engineers worldwide for its shock reducing properties and scientifically proven to be the finest cushioning material available. In many applications Sorbothane® has achieved shock absorption levels of up to 94.7%. Kick-EEZ Sorbothane® recoil pads reduce more recoil and do it better than any other pad. Less recoil reduces flinching, eases sore shoulders and cheeks. Unprecedented absorption levels are possible because Sorbothane® attenuates shock waves by dispersing energy outward from the impact source. Sorbothane’s delayed recovery properties minimize rebound kick and eliminate the rebound effect of the first shot, and therefore second shots are quicker and more accurate. Sorbothane® will not “bottom out” or “rebound” as do most common rubber materials on the market today. Sorbothane® provides effective performance in any and all weather conditions.
