It is similar but not identical. The Hino Komura is essentially an open bolt.. or barrel... the barrel is locked forward and the trigger releases it to slam backwards, chamber, and fire against a frame fixed firing pin. The bullet then drags the barrel back forward into the "cocked" open position.
A little more, the whole reason this exists is cuz way back when the blow back concept was patented so if you used it you had to pay. Well since they didn’t wanna pay they came up with this. Once blow back went public, stuff like this went away cuz going with the energy rather than against just makes everything easer.
@Kyle Bell never fired a blow forward pistol, but understand that felt recoil is harsher. I wondered if blow forward would hand 9mm better (safer) then blow back.
It uses the same energy in that both blow back and blow forward are driven directly by chamber pressure... there is equal force on the bullet and the breechface (recoil), the design just takes a portion of the energy from the bullet drag instead of the recoil.
And as for shooting... it is truely miserable and painful with the sharpest worst recoil I have ever experienced. In theory it coild be safer, but not enough to justify the harshness. I have an entire shooting and review video that goes over all that.
Well done! I have constructed from scratch a Fritz Mann pistol and i was thinking of either this blow forward pistol or the Hino Komura next.
신기한 작동방식 잘봤습니다 😮
Fantastic work!
Thank you good sir
分かりやすくて良いね
Does that Japanese blow forward thing work the same way, or are they different despite their same design classification?

Neat, does it take same energy to do this than blow back?
