- # So, using the formula:
- #
- # Recoil = ((Powder Wgt + Bullet Wgt) x Powder Wgt) / (80 x Gun Wgt)
-
- This seems to be neglecting the most important factor, velocity.
- There are three important factor that contribute to recoil:
- 1) energy used to accelerate the bullet, 2) energy used to move
- the powder and gasses down the bore, 3) energy from the
- gasses leaving the bore after bullet exit.
