[QUOTE="GeorgeS, post: 1522491, member: 107925"] Absolutely correct. Simple thought experiment: if the rifle is moving backwards at muzzle velocity, then the bullet will leave the muzzle at zero velocity and zero energy. Any lesser rifle rearward speed gradually increases bullet velocity. A rifle moving forward increases bullet velocity additively, up to light speed. So put a light on the back of your .22 and make it an elephant gun . . . (;-) [/QUOTE]
