A further notable improvement for the MP9 was the addition of a quick to detach barrel, which was cushioned by a spring when the bolt was closed to reduce the effect of recoil on the various mechanisms.

Modern tank guns are also commonly fitted with insulating thermal jackets to reduce gun-barrel warping caused by uneven thermal expansion, bore evacuators to minimise fumes entering the crew compartment and sometimes muzzle brakes to minimise the effect of recoil on accuracy and rate of fire.

When the brake redirects the gases directly backward, instead, the effect is similar to the reverse thrust system on an aircraft jet engine; any blast energy coming back at the shooter is pushing " against " the recoil, effectively reducing the actual amount of recoil on the shooter.

There was recoil, but nowhere near the recoil of the 5-cm and 7.5-cm antitank cannons being used at that time by the German forces, which required a heavy constructed carriage, and both a heavy and complex hydraulic recoil mechanism as well as a muzzle brake to contain the massive recoil on firing.
