I'm thinking that on_one_wheel is closest to being correct,,,,
I seem to recall something about air rifles being almost reverse when it comes to recoil.
Thats why they usually wreck ordinary scopes.
Anyone here know for sure ??????

Does recoil that is allowed to move the firearm backward affect the bullets velocity ?
If you have the rifle vice gripped solid, given that the rifle wouldn't recoil backwards does the bullet retain more energy/velocity?
Someone with a vice and chronograph try it please

Hi Brett,,,
Judging by your photo, I'm guessing your "forward motion" came to an abrupt end at the picket fence ????

What is your theory on this? Not having a dig. Just curious?
Personally;
I don't see how anything can influence the newtons 3rd law. Projectile gets pushed forward, equal pressure is felt rearward between the projectile and brass neck, then lining of the bore, imparting force on these surrounding contact/sealing points; thus pushing force back trough the rifle into you...
Vacuum or not, even boring a hole into a 20m diameter barrel 50m long, there will still rearward force albeit so dissipated it may/wont be felt but surely this day n age it should be measurable at the butt with an ultra sensitive accelerometer type thingamajig.
Just don't see any room for other scenarios to occur

no i was thinking about if your in the vaccuum of space would the 3rd still apply suppose it would have to
