      Conservation of momentum

      • In technical terms, the recoil is a result of conservation of momentum, as according to Newton's third law the force required to accelerate something will evoke an equal but opposite reactional force, which means the forward momentum gained by the projectile and exhaust gases (ejectae) will be mathematically balanced out by an equal and opposite momentum exerted back upon the gun.

    Recoil (often called knockback, kickback or simply kick) is the rearward thrust generated when a gun is being discharged.

  3. May 10, 2023 · A gun’s recoil, or kickback, is the backward movement a shooter feels when the bullet is discharged. When a gun exerts a force on a bullet as it’s launching it forward, the law of physics says the bullet will exert an equal force in the opposite direction of the gun.

  4. Physics. (of an atom, a nucleus, or a particle) to undergo a change in momentum as a result either of a collision with an atom, a nucleus, or a particle or of the emission of a particle.

  5. Feb 19, 2024 · Recoil, often referred to as "kickback," is a fundamental aspect of shooting that every marksman must understand and manage. It's the backward movement you feel when discharging a firearm, a direct result of the laws of physics at play. Let's dive into the science behind recoil and explore how it affects shooting accuracy and comfort.

  6. Dec 16, 2021 · Recoil is neither good nor bad. It’s simply part of the physics of the process. Heavy recoil can negatively affect shooting until the shooter has accustomed himself to it (and sometimes even then). Where I grew up, a big deer may have weighed 150 lbs. Most weren’t that big.

  7. Dec 5, 2020 · Calculate recoil velocity by applying the law of conservation of momentum, which is derived from Newton's Laws of Motion.

  8. Oct 2, 2019 · Recoil, as I know it, is a term used by shooters that applies to guns. Guns are a good example of Newton's Third Law, with the condition that the force is applied for a very short time. The force is applied for one or two milliseconds, while the shooter's reaction time is over 100 milliseconds.
