In the case of a semi-automatic pistol, expanding gases push everything in the barrel apart, propelling the bullet forward down the barrel, and the slide back toward the user. The slide continues its momentum back until it cannot go any further (At this point, it begins chambering the next round), the slide is transferring it's kinetic energy into the frame of the gun. The gun pushes back into the hand, and the hand torques back and up, experiencing "kick". In the case of limp-wristing (not holding it properly/tightly enough), or powerful magnum rounds, when the hand cannot torque anymore, the momentum will force the elbow or shoulder to bend, creating that infamous sight of a huge gun flying upwards after being shot. Any excess energy at this point has been absorbed by your body (or if the recoil was extreme, forced the user to step back to avoid falling). Finally a spring pushes the slide forward, sending the gun back (Though very small compared to the actual shot, it's noticeable.)
Bullets are very small but move at incredible speeds, rendering them lethal.
Conservation of momentum - The momentum (m*v) of the small object (bullet) is equal to the momentum of the gun recoil.
Kinetic Energy - The kinetic energy (1/2 m*v*v) of the small object (bullet) is about 350 times as much as the energy of the gun recoil. About 99.7% of the gun powder energy is used to propel the small object (bullet). About 0.3% of the gun powder energy is used to propel the gun back (recoil). Data: 22LR, 40 gr, 1255 FPS, 32 oz S&W handgun.
The reason the kick back doesn't kill the user is because the gun is significantly more heavy, thus slower moving and easier to stop. The smaller the gun, the more painful the kick. The larger the gun, the slower it moves, and the more time it takes to absorb the momentum, which can be good or bad depending on the situation. Though not frequently noticed, smaller guns can potentially be returned to their target after recoil significantly quicker than larger guns, because in smaller guns the momentum is being stopped more suddenly.
What else can I help you with?
Explain in terms of momentum conservation When a gun is fired the shooter describes the sensation of the gun kicking.?
When a gun is fired, the bullet propels forward with a certain momentum due to the force applied by the expanding gases in the gun barrel. According to the principle of momentum conservation, the gun must also experience an equal but opposite momentum in the backward direction. This backward momentum causes the sensation of "kick" felt by the shooter as the gun recoils.
When you kick a football what action and reaction forces are involved Which force if any is greater?
The action (foot to ball) and reaction (ball to foot) forces are equal and opposite. The ball gains momentum and the foot loses momentum. The collision is elastic and the foot has more mass than the football, so the football departs with a velocity greater than the initial velocity of the foot.
What is three types of kicks and when do they happen?
Three types of kicks in soccer are penalty kick, free kick, and corner kick. A penalty kick happens when a foul is committed in the penalty area, a free kick is awarded after a foul outside the penalty area, and a corner kick is given when the defending team plays the ball over their own goal line.
How much force is in a kick to the head?
The force in a kick to the head can vary depending on the strength and speed of the person delivering the kick. It can range from a few hundred to over a thousand pounds of force, which can cause significant damage or injury to the recipient.
What is kick we wow?
It seems like "kick we wow" may not have a specific meaning in general. It could potentially be a typo or a misspelling of a phrase or term. Can you provide more context or clarify the question so I can assist you better?

Why does a rifle give backward kick on firing a bullet?
A rifle experiences backward kick, or recoil, when a bullet is fired due to Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When the bullet is propelled forward out of the barrel, the rifle experiences an equal force pushing backward. This recoil results from the rapid expulsion of gas and the mass of the bullet moving forward, leading to the rifle moving backward in response. The amount of recoil is influenced by the bullet's mass and the velocity at which it is fired.
Does a 50 caliber rifle have kick?
Only when fired. Yes, they have a significant amount of recoil (kick)
Can you kick your co owner from your checking account?

What does the word recoil mean when you are talking about firearms?
The kick it has when fired.

What are the terms often used in the game of American football?
Many terms are used in American football. These terms include a down, a period of uninterrupted play, a field goal, a goal obtained from a kick, and a kickoff, the kick that begins a play.
Name something people do that a wwf wrestler would get fired for doing?
bite, punch, kick, use weapon
When fired does the RPG-7 give the operator kick back?
Yes, every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
Backward kick of a rifle that is fired is an example of which force?
The "kick" of a rifle- properly called recoil- is an example of REACTION- to the ACTION of the bullet being fired. "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." The bullet going one way results in the gun being pushed the other way.
Momentum in soccer?
as you run while dribbling with the ball, you lift up your foot to kick the ball and drive it into the goal...the power/momentum comes from the ground-hips-back down to your foot and transfers energy to the ball.
Which can be kicked farther a rolling ball or an idle ball?
An idle ball because the reverse momentum of a rolling ball makes it harder to kick far.
