[QUOTE="mdk777, post: 1602294, member: 96764"] Yeah, no. The entire process happens on a different time scale than you imagine. The recoil is indeed the summation of those actions, but the bullet is long gone before the resulting forces act(cause the the entire mass of the rifle to move hitting your shoulder). This is why for example recoil is reduced in semi-auto fire....the energy is absorbed/redirected into the reloading action. The pad, the mass of the rifle, the length of the barrel, the type of action, the muzzle brake....these are all factors...but the pad is the last, not the first of these. [/QUOTE]
