[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 521808, member: 8"] I just don't think I am in the mood for arguing this. A rifle barrel is not a closed loop system. Start with basic physics or Statics depending on your training F = m d2x/dt2. If you violate this law then you are wrong. Then apply conservation of momentum which says M1= M2 where M = mdx/dt. If you violate this law you are wrong. There is a reason rockets can accelerate and decelerate in a vacuum. For those who can remember what the value of inertial frames are, run the calculations with one frame with the bullet stationary, another one with the rifle stationary and then one where both are allowed to move. If this was not true, then the mass of air in a shotgun barrel would have to be equal to the mass of the bolt. This would be some pretty dam heavy air even for this website. This is untrue. Prepare a simply vector diagram of the forces and it becomes obvious. Alternatively calculate the mass of air that you say is causing the recoil and see what the density of your air has to be.
