[QUOTE="MSLRHunter, post: 362800, member: 20566"] I believe that recoil and the shooters reaction to recoil need to be seperated. The recoil of the rifle begins as soon as the bullet begins to move forward - remember from basic physics "for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction", so as soon as the bullet begins to move forward there is some force pushing back, the more mass the bullet has the more it will push back. I think most people agree that the amount of recoil is fairly small while the bullet is in the barrel, but if you shoot with poor form it can have an effect. Just my opinion here, but I theorize that most of the recoil comes when the pressurized gases escape from the barrel, much like a pressurized paint can when you shoot a hole in it. Thats one way muzzle breaks reduce recoil is by prolonging the release of gas and spreading it over a larger area. IMHO [/QUOTE]
