Does recoil amount and velocity affect muzzle velocity?

[QUOTE="catamountsierra, post: 1272555, member: 79865"] My understanding is that the momentum of the system remains constant, not the velocities. This means that the magnitude change in momentum (mass*velocity) of the bullet is equal to the magnitude of the change in momentum of the rifle (and likely the shooter as well); directions should be opposite or you will have the recoil pull the rifle off target by some amount. I need to think about this. You have posed a puzzle and I am intrigued. Now I know what I can work on while I wait for my computer at work. If my poor concussed brain wasn't so tired, I might try tackling this tonight, but I think it will have to wait for tomorrow. I haven't tackled a question like this in a while and I think I am looking forward to it; does that make me crazy? [/QUOTE]
