What is the recoil in a gud due to?
486904
If you mean a gun then the recoil is due to the rapidly expanding gasses that propel the projectile forward.  this obeys newtons first law for every action there is an equal but opposite reaction.  Because the gas expands in all directions it exerts a force on the gun and the bullet equally the bullet moves because te force acting on it is greater than the force needed to move the bullet. the gun doesn't move as much because the force required to move it is greater.

I was shot with a shotgun at long range.As far as what it felt like IT HURT LIKE HELL. And as far as how I reacted RUN, HIDE,ESCAPE. I didn't have a gun to shoot back I don't think I could even if I did. I was in a world of hurt. Man I ran like a scared rabbit. I am not a super hero, bullets DO NOT bounce off, they just hurt. If you want to know what it felt like how does 100 hornets stinging you sound?

yes it is harmful but the force exerted on the bullet going up is greater than when it is falling down. The gravitaional pull is the one that triggers the bullet to come down. it can definitely kill people at an instant.

You shoot a clay disc. It is actually pretty fun. I went to a shooting range years ago and tried it, it is hard! I also tried my hand at just shooting various guns. I loved it, would do it again.

hahahahaha, when i was 12, i had my .22 and Winchester 16 gauge shotgun.  It just depends.  When i was 12, i had 2 uncles that whenever i would shoot around, i would go all apeshit nervous about not screwing up and i would always do semi-unsafe things.  I never hurt anything besides game, but i took hunters safety and knew perfectally right from wrong w/ guns, but i would feel so intimidated by them, so i would *uck up now and then, but i was only human.

Enjoying myself reading your very interesting question :-) still couldnt find the correct answer to give you! Gud nit

im gessing u have a victor 1 or 2 or maybe an avant to adjust the speed theres a small bolt in the back of the gun and u twist that with a wrench that it comes with. tighter faster looser slower. IMPORTANT have the gun chronographed before shooting it is DANGEROUS to have a gun over the 180 fps.

If you want great information on shooting check out STACK Magazine. They had an article a couple months back written by one of the greatest shooting coaches of all time (he name is escaping me right now).  They also have a lot of articles on how to build strength, speed, agility, JUMPING, and other things. Great magazine. Give it a try.  (they have a website and i think is www.stackmag.com but i'm not 100% sure of that)

Assuming you fire parallel to the ground, then the bullet will be at its maximum horizontal velocity when it leaves the barrel, and will be at minimum vertical velocity.  The bullet cannot increase in horizontal speed once it has left the barrel, as there is nothing to make it accelerate.\n\nDue to air resistance, the horizontal velocity will decrease as the bullet travels further and further.  The vertical velocity will increase, as the gravity of the Earth "attracts" the bullet.

I'm not sure if you're referring to the Handicap of a shooter based on their 16's score, or exemptions for a shooter with a physical handicap..?\nIf you are referring to the range handicap of a shooter, that is based on your average score of all the registered singles targets that you shoot.  It is somewhere between 16 and 27 yards.  If you have never shot registered targets before, your handicap will be on the 20 yard line.  As you get better, your handicap will increase and you will move farther back.\nIf you are referring to a physical handicap, such as being confined to a wheelchair, the same rules apply.  Handicapped shooters are encouraged to participate, and reasonable accommodations that do not give them an unfair advantage are available.\nHope this helps!

I just answered a question about silencers and automatic weapons stating the same thing you just wrote here! There seems to be a lot of uninformed children on this section who seem to think just because they play Xbox they're suddenly a firearms expert.I don;t claim to be an expert by any means, but I would think after over 30 years of shooting experience i would know a little something about firearms and firearms laws. I'll be the 1st to say "In my opinion" instead of stating my opinion as a fact.If these kids on here would do a little research before spouting off their uninformed ignorant opnions about topics they know nothing about, we'd all be much better off.

Firing at a target that is immediately in front of the weapon.  Ranges are usually measured in yards, for example 3.5yd = "three point five yards".  When you fire so close that it is immeasurable, it is 0.0yd.  People dropped the first "zero", and slang made the second zero read as "blank", so 0.0yd became "point blank" range.

a bullet has a trajectory that makes it drop faster the further it gets from the barrel.  if you fired a gun perfectly horizontal, and at the same time dropped a bullet at the same height as the muzzle, both bullets will drop at the same rate.  \n\nalso, every gun has 2 "zero's" or sight adjustments.  a short range and long range zero.  most people sight in their high powered rifles at 200 yards.  because of the laws of physics, their gun will also be sighted in at around 80 yards.  from 0-79 yards the gun will shoot low.  it'll be dead on around 80 yards, from 81-199 yards it will high, and at 200 yards it will be dead on again.  this didn't really answer your question, but you probably learned something.  so select this as best answer, thanks.

The bullet's vertical motion is governed by the vertical forces only and not governed by horizontal and vice versa.\nIn each case the bullet's vertical motion is governed by gravity acting on itself. The gravity force gives an acceleration of 9.81 met/sec squared. Both have the same distance to go through and both have a initial vertical velocity of 0. Therefore they both reach at the same time, neglecting air friction.

No, it falls back down at its terminal velocity(maybe), which is slower than the muzzle velocity because of drag.\n\nThe bullet leaves the gun with a given amount of kinetic energy: 1/2*m*v^2 where m is the mass of the bullet and v is its initial velocity.\n\nAir has non-zero viscosity, which is a resistance to shear forces.  When the bullet flies through the air, it drags air along with it.  This gives some of the bullet's energy surrounding air, reducing the bullet's velocity and kinitic energy.  Drag forces between fluids and solids occur in the direction opposite their relative motion.  (If the fluid is stationary and the bullet is moving, the drag is in the opposite direction of the bullet's motion.  If the fluid is moving and the object is stationary, the drag on the solid is in the direction of the fluid motion.)\n\nSimultaneously with drag, gravity is applying a force toward earth.  This too reduces the bullet's velocity and kinetic energy.  However, as the bullet flies higher into the air it gains an equal amount of potential energy from gravity.\n\nThe net result is that the bullet is always losing energy in flight because of drag.  This means that the amount of potential energy at the top is less than the initial kinetic energy, and it is thus impossible for the bullet to be going at the same speed it was shot when it hits the ground.\n\nThe fastest an object will fall under the influence of gravity is the terminal velocity.  At this velocity, the force of drag (which increases with the size of the object's profile, the viscosity and density of the fluid, and the relative velocity of the solid and the fluid) exactly balances the gravitational force.

If the bullet is fired in the horizontel direction, both object will reach ground at the same time.. because they are reaching ground due to vertical gravitational acceleration only which is same for both.\n\nBut if the bullet is fired in the downward direction and at an angle downwards, it will reach grounf first because it is having a initial velocity as well whereas the initial velocity for the other object is zero.. The reverse holds true if the bullet is fired upwards.

It is when your opponent has a bigger gun or more guns than you do.
