recoil is the backward momentum of a gun when it is discharged.
Remember that, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. So, you have a force blasting forwards, and it's going to push back in the opposite direction. That's recoil.
Recoil is the force exerted on the operator of a firearm as a result of the firearm's operation.
The Laws of physics dictate equal and opposite forces for a reaction. The same force which accelerates the bullet creates an accelerative force on your body when you shoot. While you have the weight of the firearm plus your own body, and thus experience very little movement; the far lower mass (and corresponding resistance to acceleration) of the bullet results in said bullet gaining a great deal of speed and departing the barrel of the gun.

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.
What is the plural of recoil?

Do paintball guns have a recoil?

Why does a gun not recoil just as fast as the speed of the bullet?
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
