Weight is what affects recoil. Cut the barrel, reduce the weight, recoil will increase if all else is equal.

Why are vents put into a semi automatic shotgun barrel?
Recoil reduction.
Does ww greener make a single barrel shotgun?
yes they made a martini action single barrel shotgun 12gauge it is cheap around £100 but it has a huge amount of recoil you can buy them on guntrader.com
Can you shot slugs out of a vented barrel shotgun?
Yes, as long as it has the right choke for slugs (cylinder or improved cylinder), the vents will make no difference to the slug, and will reduce recoil slightly.
Do all guns have a recoil?
Almost all- but the amount of recoil varies a lot. A .22 rifle has almost no recoil, a 12 gauge shotgun a lot.
What are the advantages of a vented shotgun barrel?
The reasonable assumption is that you are referring to something such as the 'Vang Comp' system. The primary purpose of venting the barrel in any firearm be it a rifle, shotgun, or a pistol is to reduce the impulse of recoil directed into the body of the shooter. Venting a barrel achieves this by redirecting the propellant gases so that a portion of said gas is vented off-axis relative to the barrel. Not only does reducing this recoil impulse make extended shooting easier by inducing less fatigue on the handler, it can improve accuracy by creating a more stable launch platform for the projectiles being sent on their way with each shot.
What shotgun has more recoil a pump action or semiautomatic assuming the same ammo?
A pump will have more recoil. The action of a semi-auto will absorb some of the recoil.
How much recoil did muskets have?
Similar to modern day shotgun
Are pre-fit recoil pads available for Remington Model 11 shotgun?
Generally, a gunsmith will fit a recoil pad to the shotgun using an oversized, standard pad. Not too difficult.
What is a low recoil on a shotshell?
It is a shell for a shotgun that has less power than a standard shotshell, and produces less recoil, or "kick".
Why is my friend naggin me for this gun Winchester model 1911 sl sn A32858 what makes is interesting?
Possibly because the the Winchester 1911SL (self loading) shotgun was the original John M. Browning automatic shotgun design that eventually went on to become (with some slight changes the Browning Auto-5. It used the Browning short-recoil cycle. Firing recoil initiates a rearward movement of the locked barrel/bolt unit. The barrel/bolt assembly is slowed by the barrel lug compressing a recoil-spring. This is combined with the binding effect of a friction washer assembly that surrounds the magazine tube. The barrel lug impacts a stop on the receiver face. The barrel's rearward movement stops abruptly and in sequence, the bolt unlocks and disengages from the barrel extension while extracting and ejecting the spent case. All the while being slowed by a bolt recoil spring mounted in the butt-stock. The barrel recoil spring returns the barrel and extension into battery. The bolt recoil spring starts the bolt forward and the elevation of new cartridge in line to the breech where lock up in the barrel extension and breech occurs. This model is unique in that there is no bolt handle. You prepare it to fire by grasping a knurled portion of the barrel, behind the front sight and compressing the barrel down into the receiver to duplicate its short-recoil firing cycle. The sear and disconnector arrangement is almost identical to that of the 1911 Colt pistol, which Browning also designed. Also, all of the metal component parts (incl the receiver and barrel extension) are milled from forged steel billets, a prohibitively costly process in this day and time. The 1911 SL as designed suffered from a barrel recoil spring that weakened quickly and caused the barrel to batter at its stop. A symptom of the spring fatigue is the fore-stock splitting from the repeated shock. The butt-stock is a tri-laminate design that doesn't withstand field use and will eventually separate. The bolt recoil spring guide (a metal capped wooden dowel), has a tendency to swell and soften. The result is it will break the milled-out center layer of the butt-stock. More often than not, the result is binding of the bolt recoil spring. Your shotgun is now a club since there is no bolt handle to assist the bolt back into battery with the barrel breech. JM Browning and Winchester had a serious disagreement over this shotgun. Browning severed all relations with Winchester and took the design to Herstal, Belgium. It was then produced under license by Fabrique Nationale des Armes (FN) as the Browning Automatic Shotgun (aka the Auto-5). Unlike the 1911 SL, it had a bolt handle no knurling on the barrel.
What are the principal parts of a shotgun?
The major parts of a shotgun are made up of about 10 different components. From the butt to the tip of this gun, these include the recoil pad, the stock, the trigger, the receiver, the ejection port, the magazine loading port, the magazine, the barrel, the fore-end, in the front sight.
Why does a rifle have less kick then a shotgun?
It depends on the comparative charges of the ammunition. A rifle can have more recoil than a shotgun.
