[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 521493, member: 30902"] In a semi auto the "equal and opposite reaction" is not retained within the pressure vessel until the bullet/wad exits. The pressure vessel releases the hot gases as soon as the action cycles. That is not the case with a closed, locked bolt. The equal and opposite reaction in a closed system/pressure vessel contains the forces which are pressing outward, equally in all directions until the muzzle is cleared, thus there is no observable or felt recoil until the bullet exits. See the video linked to above for a demonstration. [/QUOTE]
