Recoil is the reaction of speed x mass of the bullet, producing recoil (reaction) consisting of speed (of the rifle moving) x mass (of the rifle). If one rifle has a greater mass than another, the recoil is trying to move the larger mass, and cannot move it as fast. This is why you can hit a Golf ball much further than you can hit a Bowling ball. Difference in mass.
Equal and opposite reaction. With a heavier firearm, recoil is trying to overcome the greater inertia of a heavier mass.
When the rifle fires, it propels the bullet forward with force based on Newton's Third Law of Motion: for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The force pushing the bullet forward causes an equal force in the opposite direction, which results in the rifle recoiling backward.
The momenta of the rifle and the bullet are equal and opposite. The bullet has greater kinetic energy than the rifle.
Rifle and bullet (The bullet is dependent on the rifle to accomplish its purpose)
Very little. Very small, light bullet.
Some are heavy, some are light. It is a fairly mild cartridge, and does not require a very heavy rifle. Weight will depend on the specific make and model.
The barrel guides and accelerates the bullet out of the rifle, and imparts spin to the bullet to stabilize the bullet in flight.
The typical rifle bullet was .303 inch caliber. The same round was used in most of the light machine guns.
When a bullet is fired from a rifle, a chemical reaction in the gunpowder ignites, rapidly expanding gases build up pressure, and the bullet is propelled out of the barrel at high speed. The rifling in the barrel causes the bullet to spin, improving accuracy and stability. Gravity will eventually cause the bullet to drop due to gravity and air resistance.
There is no one answer- it depends on the rifle. They are generally less powerful than a full size battle rifle cartridge. The M16 rifle uses a 5.56mm bullet, the AK47 a 7.62mm bullet, etc.
That would depend on the caliber, and type of bullet, the rifle uses.
Have it examined by a good gunsmith. This rifle use a .22 caliber bullet, long rifle.
