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.

Why does the recoil of a heavy gun on firing not so strong as alight gun using the same cartridges?

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.


Why recoil of heavy gun is not strong as light gun?

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.


How does the norinco model 213 work?

At least moderately well. It is a recoil operated semi auto pistol. Parent gun was the Tokarev TT-33. The trigger releases the hammer, strikes firing pin, firing primer. Recoil of bullet being fired makes slide recoil, extracting and ejecting fired case. Recoil spring stops slide, reverses movement, picking up and chambering a fresh cartridge.


How much recoil does a 9mm have?

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.

What is recoil velocity?

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.


What is the term recoil o f the gun?

Bullet forward, gun back - as in when the gun is fired, the bullet goes forward, and the explosion pushes (recoil) the gun backwards.


Does a recoil spring make your gun less recoil?

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.
