[QUOTE="RDM416, post: 521293, member: 3745"] Well said Wild Rose. Until the bullet leaves the barrel it is a "closed system" and the effects generated by the expanding gasses on the outside world is VERY minimal as you pointed out. I'm just a retired electronics engineer, but we had this same discussion on here a couple of years ago. A couple of guys who are real physicists weighed in on the subject and explained the closed loop system of of a rifle barrel / bullet. I think the orginal question then revolved around if there was any difference in velocity between a bullet fired from a tightly held rifle or one allowed to "free recoil". Different question, but the real world physics is still the same. The bullet is GONE before recoil starts to push the rifle around. [/QUOTE]
