If you wanted to simulate recoil, how would you do it? I’m picturing some thing like a weight either swinging or falling into the end of barrel or stock to simulate how a shot would push and using that to evaluate stocks and dampening.

Have something on the end of the barrel to protect the crown and compensator. But is their a way to convert/simulate a shot by its bullet weight and speed, and converting that to a weight and speed of a mass impacting the barrel?

I’ve got some time, a 3d printer, and some new materials and I was thinking of working up some furniture. Wanted to be able to test them.
