Sir Isaac newton's 3rd Law of Motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
A firearm propels a bullet towards a target, the mass (~weight) of the bullet and its acceleration create a force in the opposite direction of the bullet's travel.
You can play around with the bullet's mass (~weight) and its velocity to get equal recoil:
1- bullet 20grams, accelerates at 100m/s has the same recoil as:
2- bullet 200grams, accelerating at 10m/s (recoil force = 2000 for both)

Do gauss guns have recoil?
Obviously. If the Gauss gun shoots pushes something out at the front, this object will push back against the Gauss gun (Newton's Third Law).
Why does the gun recoils and puch the person back when fired?
When a gun is fired a bullet (or cartridge) with a small mass but a very high velocity is ejected. The recoil of the gun is a reaction to this force and is sufficient to push back the person who fired the weapon.
How does a rifle demonstrate Newton's third law of motion?
When you fire a rifle,the recoil kick is introducing you to Newton's Third Law.If you you don't hold the rifle properly to absorb the recoil in your whole body, the recoil will leave a nasty bruise mark; (mv) recoil = (mv) bullet. You want to minimize the recoil velocity by maximizing the recoil mass=your rifle + your body. Getting the [proper stance and grip will raise the recoil mass the reduce the impact on your body.
How does elastic recoil function in breathing?
Elastic recoil functions during expiration. As the diaphragm and external intercostal muscles relax, the elastic tissues of the lungs recoil and air will forced out of the lungs... i guess so
Why does a gun barrel recoil up after firing and not down or to the left or right?
It doesn't. It recoils straight back. If you were quick enough, you could direct the recoil in any of the other three directions by changing your muscle tension.
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.
Can you make a non-recoil bb gun into recoil?
It is not possible.
How can you use recoil in a sentence?
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.
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?
The plural of recoil is recoils. As in "the gun recoils quite heavily".
Is recoil a verb or a noun?
It can be either.The gun will recoil when he fires it (verb). If he is not careful, the recoil will dislocate his shoulder (noun)!
Does gun recoil affect accuracy?
It can.
What is the word for gun kick?
Recoil
Do paintball guns have a recoil?
yes, paintball guns do have recoil, but no where near a real gun.
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
