[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1272732, member: 74902"] I'm more with FearNoWind on this and here's why. I think Einstein's theory of relativity is more important than the equation for acceleration and momentum. The "relative" part has to do with the fact that the rifle, bullet, and explosive pressure created by the powder are relative to each other, and ALL are set in a rearward motion at the same time as the rifle is recoiling. In this scenario, all three are constants and the same, so the bullets comes out of the muzzle at the same speed each time no matter how fast the whole object (the rifle, bullet, and pressure) are accelerating backward. Now, this changes a bit once the bullet is free from the barrel. The bullet has the same velocity, but it has a slightly longer distance of travel to the crony. This is assuming a stationary crony set say 15 ft. from the muzzle. Now if you attach the crony to the rifle (Magnetospeed), it is now also moving relative to the rifle and would not register any difference in speed. Just another way of looking at it. [/QUOTE]
