Gun Recoil

[MegademiC]

After thinking about it, the gas used to cycle the bcg vents out the side, but most of the energy was transferred to the bcg.

The forward energy of the bcg was transferred to the shooter during the forward stroke as I mentioned above. The net recoil is the same.

Another example, hit the bolt release on a locked back rifle. The gun recoil, then gets pulled forward upon slamming home resulting in zero net recoil.

If you lay down and put 5 bricks on your chest, is there any energy entering your body? There's a force you feel, but no energy transfer.

If you absorbed the BCG energy then the spring would never compress or decompress.

As the spring decompresses, the gun is pushed back into your shoulder.

The recoil of any .223 is negligible.

You can feel a little recoil in a lightweight 6.5 grendel

When you get to .308 then you can talk about recoil. Biggest variable is the weight of the gun
