No

Yes. You can have a bullet that is largely external to the barrel of the gun. An example of this would be a harpoon, although the harpoon-gun is still bigger than the harpoon but the principle makes the possibility exist. so basicaly no!!!

From an engineering perspective Yes, it is possible. It would take some special designing and some custom work but it is perfectly imaginable.

How the velocity of recoil of a gun fire is 1'100 times the velocity of bullet if mass of a gun is 100 times of mass of bullet?

Newton said "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." The action is pushing the bullet in one direction. Reaction is the gun being pushed in the other. The energy is speed times mass. The gun masses much more than the bullet, and so will move proportionately slower than the bullet. Which is a very good thing- or the recoil of the gun would kill the shooter.


Would you care to fire a gun that has a bullet 10times as massive as the gun?
