[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 523674, member: 30902"] Not unumportant, but mathematically negligible in the calibers we are working with for the most part. Now when you are talking about the big 300 plus grain bulletts exceeding 3000fps where your recoil force exceeds 80lbs it's goign to be more noticible, but again, for the length of time between ignition, and exit of the barrel the majority of that force is going to in a straight rearward direction, moving you directly away from the target, but not creating a problem with pitch or yaw. You engineers are thinking in microns, we're thinking in mils, MOA, and inches. What is negligible in this context would destroy for example a jet at mach three or rocket at mach 5 or cause catastrophic failure of a nuclear weapon. The sound suppressors act by reducing total air/blast pressure at the downrange end similar to the muffler on your car. It's a large volume of air space (compared to the barrel) with buffers to deflect the sound, break it up, and absorb it, and lots of CC's for the gasses to expand. It took decades to develop good sound suppressors that didn't have a serious impact on velocity and acuracy because of vortex forces within. Think in terms of an accumulation of tolerances and my car wreck example. If you are creating pitch or yaw with your movements just at the time of ignition your errors are going to be magnified exponentially as the force of the shot begins shoving the rifle back. Think of being hit from the rear as you begin to make a right hand turn while going over a speed bump with your front wheels. Both the Yaw and pitch will be greatly magnified vs not being hit. In this case your car is the rifle and your hood ornament is the end of the barrel. Am I making better sense yet? [/QUOTE]
