[QUOTE="GPR23, post: 1519741, member: 104192"] Actually yes, its called physics. Remember from science class good ol mister Newton. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. If a gun is held still against a brick wall and has no movement then all the energy is transferred into moving the bullet forward. If the gun moves backwards, then some of the energy is being loss pushing the gun backwards, thus less energy for the bullet. Now whether there is enough difference to matter is whats up for debate. I have seen the video before and my first question is what is the affect on a bigger dude like myself? Frank is a small guy, so I can see him being pushed around more and there being a measurable difference in muzzle velocity. But I'm a larger guy, so i wonder if a mv difference could be measured? Not really that worried about it, as there are a million more important things to worry about when shooting long range. [/QUOTE]
