[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 521256, member: 30902"] Sorry but that's just incorrect. As long as the bullet is keeping the explosion contained between itself and the chamber/barrel there is not going to be any measurable or felt movement of the weapon. The only forces working to push the rifle backward at that point is the force of the bullet pressing on the air ahead of it in the barrel and the tiny fraction of hot gasses that are not contained behind the bullett. Once the bullet clears the end of the barrel then in effect the barrel is acting like a rocket motor driving back the rifle in the opposite direction. That is why a good muzzle brake is so effective at reducing felt recoil and muzzle flip. [/QUOTE]
