[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 1231302, member: 33822"] I hear ya. From the research I've done on recoil energy, you start out assuming that the gas is escaping the barrel at 4000 FPS. Of course that's an estimate but I believe goes along with your thinking that the gas is moving past the bullet when it first exists the barrel. Definitely some complicated fluid dynamics going on and I don't think I personally understand the reality of what's happening. I do have a coworker that recently completed his PHd in propulsion engineering and he's been working in this field for nearly 2 decades. He also happens to be my neighbor and we've been discussing all of this recently over beers. We've both been too busy with our kids (both of us have toddlers) and just don't have the bandwidth to do any real work on this. Maybe sometime this winter when it's too cold to do anything else.
