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.
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.
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.
Recoil when firing gun can be reduced by calculating which ammunition would be the lightest and slowest load while still getting the job done effectively. Also, a recoil pad may be installed to help reduce the amount of recoil.
Generally speaking, the 9mm will have the least recoil of those 3. When comparing 40 to 45, the 40 has a sharper recoil because it is a higher pressure cartridge than the 45, and most people interpret that as heavier recoil. However, all of that is conditional on the size and weight of the gun. When shooting a heavier gun, you will generally feel less recoil than when shooting a comparable gun that is lighter. So a big heavy 45 will have less recoil than a small light 45.
No. The recoil from such a gun would kill you. action and reaction. Bullet would stand still, gun would move.
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.
Depends to some degree on how the cartridge is loaded, and the weight of the gun firing it- heavy guns recoil less. Recoil is similar to a .38 Special- more than a .22, less than a .45. My granddaughter is in her mid teens and shoots my Browning Hi Power 9mm, so recoil is not that bad.
You have heard "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction". Recoil of a gun is the reaction to the action of firing a bullet. In the case of a heavy firearm, there is more mass in which the energy is divided- itmoves more weight, with less speed. A lighter firearm, having less weight, moves faster, and gives more noticeable recoil.
Bullet forward, gun back - as in when the gun is fired, the bullet goes forward, and the explosion pushes (recoil) the gun backwards.
The plural of recoil is recoils. As in "the gun recoils quite heavily".
