A hydraulic buffer assembly for use in a paint gun includes a sealed housing having first and second ends and an interior including a chamber containing a hydraulic fluid. A piston assembly including at least one piston rod and a piston head is axially movable through the interior of the housing, wherein the piston head includes at least one orifice through which hydraulic fluid flows when the piston assembly is moved under load. The buffer assembly is configured to decrease or slow the firing rate of an automatic paint gun.

A firearm with buffer assembly has a frame, a bolt assembly operable to reciprocate with respect to the frame between a forward battery position and a rearward recoil position, and the bolt assembly including a hydraulic damper assembly. The hydraulic damper assembly may include at least a first portion connected to the bolt assembly. The first portion of the hydraulic damper assembly may be fixed to the bolt assembly such that the first portion does not move with respect to the bolt assembly in response to forces applied in the forward and rearward direction. The entire hydraulic damper assembly may reciprocate with the bolt assembly. The hydraulic damper assembly is operable to provide damping in response to the bolt assembly striking the frame upon reaching the forward battery position and in response to the bolt assembly striking the frame upon reaching the rearward recoil position.

A hydraulic energy absorption device including a cylindrical housing having an interior hollow compartment, the interior hollow compartment having a distal end and a proximal end, a resilient member arranged within the distal end of the cylindrical housing, a piston arranged adjacent to the resilient member within the cylindrical housing, the piston including a piston head and a piston rod extending from the piston head toward the proximal end and a compressible accumulator arranged within the cylindrical housing and connected to the piston. When the piston rod is displaced toward the distal end of the cylindrical housing in operation, the piston head and the compressible accumulator are displaced toward the distal end of the cylindrical housing.

A recessed expansion chamber in a gun slide is configured for improving recoil mitigation in firearms. The gun slide is for a pistol firearm with a barrel and includes a recessed expansion chamber. The recessed expansion chamber is positioned forward of the barrel end of the barrel. An expansion chamber opening is included through the gun slide in communication with the recessed expansion chamber. The recessed expansion chamber is configured to allow gases leaving the barrel at the barrel end to expand and be directed out of the gun slide through the expansion chamber opening.
