[QUOTE="bailey1474, post: 93018, member: 3249"] [ QUOTE ] What causes the rifle to move backwards in the first place? Well, it is the force which is pushing against the base of the bullet. If the rifle is prevented from moving backwards, where does that energy go? I would say it is added to the propulsion of the bullet. That's the only place it could go, isn't it? [/ QUOTE ] No. The energy is still transferred rearward. Just b/c the rifle doesn't move, doesn't mean that no energy was transferred.
