==Counter-mass system== [[File:ARMBRUST-MATADOR Comparison.JPG|thumb|Comparing the Armbrust (top) and MATADOR (bottom).]] Similar to the [[Armbrust]], the counter-mass counteracts the recoil of the weapon upon firing. The counter-mass consists of shredded plastic, which is launched out of the rear of the weapon when it is fired. This plastic is rapidly slowed by air resistance, allowing the weapon to be fired safely within an enclosed space. In addition, the positioning of the counter-mass takes into consideration the centre of gravity of the weapon to ensure good balance for better accuracy.<ref>{{cite web| url= http://www.dsta.gov.sg/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3403&Itemid=401| title= DSTA Press Release| publisher= Safra Radio| access-date= 2012-11-18| url-status= dead| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20090512103505/http://www.dsta.gov.sg/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3403&Itemid=401| archive-date= 2009-05-12}}</ref>
