The force of the bullet being shot out of the gun.
This is one of Newtons Laws : Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. For most modern firearms, recoil is caused by the momentum of the bolt driving rearward and coming to an abrupt end after firing the round.

What is a sentence with the word recoil?
The recoil of the rifle bruised her shoulder.The recoil sent him flying backwards.
When a gun fired it exerts a forward force on the bullet why does the gun recoil backwards?
Well, remember that, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. In an automatic firearm, this will be enhanced by the action, which exerts force against the bolt carrier or slide to cycle it.
A sentence for recoil?
Example sentence - The rifle has more recoil than I expected.
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 Difference between muzzle velocity and recoil velocity?
muzzle velocity is the velocity of bullet and recoil velocity is the velocity of gun.
What does a gun recoil spring do?
Typically a recoil spring absorbs SOME of the energy from a weapons recoil and also resets the firearm's components (chambering a round, hammer, etc...) to allow the firearm to be shot again.
Largest amount of recoil from firearm?
600 Nitro Express
How much kick power does a 270 calibre rifle have?
Recoil of a firearm is based on how heavy and fast is the bullet, and how much does the firearm weigh. Change any one of the 3, and recoil will change. The AVERAGE .270 Winchester (16.5 lbs recoil) will have less recoil than a 30-06 (17.6 lbs recoil) but more than a .308 Winchester ( 15.8 lbs recoil). How recoil FEELS can be affected by several things, including shape of the stock, recoil control devices (such as pads) which spread recoil over time, etc. Good article for some more reading for you-http:/wwwzperiodzchuckhawkszperiodzcom/recoil_tablezperiodzhtm
What is more powerful a 357 magnum or a 38 special?
.357 Magnum. You can tell just by the recoil of the firearm.
What is the purpose of the compensator on the m4 carbine?
Muzzle Brakes reduce the felt recoil and barrel rise when firing a firearm. Flash Suppressors reduce the flash produced from firing a firearm.
What is the Velocity of recoil in recoiling parts of guns?
Depends entirely on the caliber, weight and velocity of the projectile along with the weight of the firearm
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.
What is the meaning of a rifles back lash?
The proper word is "recoil." The action of firing a bullet causes the rifles to recoil against the shooter's shoulder.
Can you fire a marlin 22 wthout the recoil spring?
It wouldn't be advisable. The recoil spring is an essential component of the operating mechanism, and, in many rimfire rifles, is also instrumental in keeping the bolt carrier on track. Using your firearm without this recoil spring leads to serious risk of damage, and the possibility of personal injury.
What does the metal spring in a firearm do?
The metal spring critically dampens the gun barrel so that it can recoil and the compensate for the reaction of the action done by the bullet.
What is the recoil of a 308?
assuming that you talking about a .308 Winchester or the 7.62 NATO round recoil is factor of pure physics the lighter the weapon the greater the free recoil (kick).the heavier the bullet the greater the kick. the higher the velocity the more kick.there are many factors involved in calculating the recoil of any firearm.what does the gun weigh ?what is the barrel length? what is the bullet weight? is the gun a bolt action or auto-matic ? is it gas or recoil operated ? does it have a recoil reducer of some type? how effective is this recoil reducer? knowing the interior ballistics of a cartridge is only the beginning of calculating the recoil and barrel flip of any firearm. in my observation over many years most .308 guns have recoil effect of between 7-15 foot pounds of free recoil energy.
How much does a 22 lr kick?
Fired from a rifle, there is almost no "kick" or recoil. Generally considered the least recoil of any widely manufactured firearm. My Granddaughter began shooting a .22 rifle with me at the age of 10. She has been shooting for the past 4 years, and competes at 25, 50, and 100 yards. No complaints about recoil.
