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.

Why does heavy rifle not kick as strong as light rifle using same bullet?
Equal and opposite reaction. With a heavier firearm, recoil is trying to overcome the greater inertia of a heavier mass.
When a bullet is fired from a rifle does the bullet have a greater momentum and kinetic energy than the rifle?
Yes, when a bullet is fired from a rifle, the bullet typically has greater momentum and kinetic energy compared to the rifle. This is due to the bullet's higher velocity and lower mass compared to the rifle.
When a rifle is fired how does the size of the force of the rifle on the bullet compare with the force of the bullet on the rifle how does the acceleration of the rifle compare with that of the bullet?
The force of the rifle on the bullet and the force of the bullet on the rifle are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction, according to Newton's third law of motion. However, the mass of the rifle is much larger than the mass of the bullet, so the acceleration of the rifle is much smaller compared to the acceleration of the bullet.
What is an analogy that goes with bow and arrow?
Rifle and bullet (The bullet is dependent on the rifle to accomplish its purpose)
How much kick does a 222 rifle have?
Very little. Very small, light bullet.
When a rifle fires it accelerates a bullet along the barrel Explain why the rifle must recoil?
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Now the bullet is light (low mass) so when a certain amount of force pushes the bullet forward and the gun backward at the same time, the bullet moves fast. The gun is heavy (great mass) so it is slower to accellerate rearward. It will never reach even a small fraction of the velocity of the bullet. But since force = mass times velocity squared, there is an equal amount of energy in the bullet and the butt stock of the rifle.
Is a 243 rifle heavy?
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.
What does a barrel assembly do on a rifle?
The barrel guides and accelerates the bullet out of the rifle, and imparts spin to the bullet to stabilize the bullet in flight.
How big was the bullet that killed the red baron?
The typical rifle bullet was .303 inch caliber. The same round was used in most of the light machine guns.
What is the average size of a assault rifle bullet?
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.
What kind of bullet do you use with a Revelation Model 120 rifle?
Have it examined by a good gunsmith. This rifle use a .22 caliber bullet, long rifle.
What is the cost of the bullet of a double barrel hunting rifle?
That would depend on the caliber, and type of bullet, the rifle uses.
