Yes. Recoil is the REACTION to an ACTION. When a projectile is pushed in one direction, the thing pushing it is pushed back an equal amount (just in the opposite direction). Of course, the launcher is much heavier than the projectile, and so it will move proportionately less. Rockets generally have no recoil, since they are pushing themselves, and the launcher is not pushing.
Recoil is the equal and opposite of the force driving the bullet. A heavier gun is a greater mass to be moved by that recoil.
It is not possible.
as a VERB: This gun will recoil a lot. or: He recoiled at the awful sight of the wrecked car. as a NOUN: This gun has a lot of recoil. The recoil of a .338 magnum rifle is uncomfortable.
When a gun is fired, the projectile goes one way, the gun goes in the opposite direction. That is recoil. Recoil velocity would be the speed at which the gun moves when it recoils. Since the gun is heavier than the projectile, it will recoil more slowly than the projectile moves.
Bullet forward, gun back - as in when the gun is fired, the bullet goes forward, and the explosion pushes (recoil) the gun backwards.
Not all guns have a recoil spring. In the case of guns like the 1911A1 .45 cal pistol, when the gun fires, the slide is driven back by recoil (kick). The recoil spring is compressed, stops the slide from moving back, and pushes the slide forward for the next shot. Is does not make the gun recoil less.
The plural of recoil is recoils. As in "the gun recoils quite heavily".
It can be either.The gun will recoil when he fires it (verb). If he is not careful, the recoil will dislocate his shoulder (noun)!
It can.
Recoil
yes, paintball guns do have recoil, but no where near a real gun.
because the recoil is when the bullet forces the gun back and so the bullet creates the recoil and so it can't make it go just as fast
