Newtons law of motion and how it applies to recoil / impact

[Black Tail Hunter]

I think that is a whole other topic which takes bullet configuration, bone density, impact velocity and other various factors into consideration because they effect energy transfer.

So what would a 308 impact in the sternum feel like....a hammer blow?

A rifle that weighed thousands of times what a bullet weighs would be a very heavy rifle.

500 140gr bullets will weigh 10 pounds.

Thanks ED
That was a typo and should have said hundreds. I hadn't had my first cup of coffee

the force on the base of the bullet equals recoil force.

Vaughn in rifle accuracy facts says: force accelerating the bullet is the same as recoil force. the jet of gas from the muzzle adds to felt recoil i would think but have no idea how it would be calculated.

found a good article on thealaskalife.com on recoil and secondary recoil that deals with the physics of gas expulsion after the bullet has left the barrel
