[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 521819, member: 30902"] Yes it's because the expanding hot gasses are shooting out of it's *** driving it forward. This does not happen until the thrust generated by said hot gasses exceeds the mass of the rocket. This does not occur with a rifle until the bullet exits the barrel. Only a tiny amount of gas escapes around the bullet and exits ahead of it. The mass and pressure of air ahead of the bullet has no measurable effect in driving the weapon in the opposite direction. Inertia does not apply to the actions within the closed pressure vessel which is the barrel capped on one end by the bolt and the other by the bullet. The only intertia involved is in driving the bullet forward within the barrel at this point. There is nothing to exert force to your shoulder as in recoil. The forces between the bullet and the bolt are exerting equal pressures in all directions and there is no force acting to push the gun backwards until those hot gasses and bullet exit from the barrel. There is no mass of air causing recoil. What causes recoil is the compressed gas that is driving the bullett forward. Once the bullet clears the barrel, the force that was driving it out of the barrel is released and acts just like a rocket motor driving the rifle backwards. Again, look at the video. Again, this is why a well made muzzle brake is able to reduce recoil and muzzle flip dramatically. [/QUOTE]
