Yes, smaller guns typically have more recoil compared to larger guns due to their lighter weight and shorter barrel length.

What is the momentum of the recoil of the earth why dont you feel it?

The momentum of the recoil of the Earth due to, say, a person jumping, is extremely small due to the Earth's large mass compared to the person's mass. You do not feel this recoil because the Earth is so massive that the acceleration caused by your jump is negligible in comparison to the Earth's overall mass. This makes the recoil momentum insignificant and not noticeable.


What difference in recoil would exppect to find in a hollow ball and a solid ball firing out of a cannon?

A solid ball would have more recoil compared to a hollow ball when fired out of a cannon. This is because the solid ball has more mass and thus more inertia, resulting in greater recoil force upon firing. The hollow ball, being lighter, would experience less recoil force due to its lower mass.


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 a sentence with the word recoil?

The recoil of the rifle bruised her shoulder.The recoil sent him flying backwards.


Which is greater the momentum of a bullet fired from a rifle or the momentum of the rifle's recoil?

The momentum of the bullet fired from a rifle is greater than the momentum of the rifle's recoil. This is because the bullet has a higher velocity and mass compared to the rifle, resulting in a greater momentum.

Are guns going to be smaller in the future?

Probably not. as guns become smaller and lighter, the accuracy decreases, and recoil increases.


Which has a bigger recoil an ak47 or an Remington 700?

The cartridges used in a Remington 700 typically produce considerably more recoil.


What is the difference between the Ithaca mag10 recoil compared to the Remington SP10?

Virtually the same.


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.

What is a weakness of the AK-47?

well for starters if in the hands of a person who has no experience on how to control the recoil the recoil is a big problem, and compared to other assault rifles it has a slow firing rate Edit: its main weakness is its lower accuracy compared to other assault rifles and its Iron sights are crude. the answer on top of this is also right.


What are the advantages of a strait stock rifle compared to bent or horn rifle stocks?

A strait stock will recoil strait back but when a bent stock recoils it will recoil with the muzzle going upwards. A strait stock allows you to stay on target better.

Is there an item to stop recoil?

You can never stop recoil. You can reduce the felt effects, but, the recoil will still be there.
