How do you reduce the recoil on a gun?
489828
Actual recoil? There's only three ways, each with their own drawbacks:\n\n1. Add weight to the gun. The more weight the gun has, the more the impulse energy is distributed and the less recoil as a result.\n\n2. Lose weight from the projectile. Whether it's bullets, shot, or paintballs you're talking about, the lighter the projectile the less recoil there will be, all other things being equal.\n\n3. Slow down the projectile. Slowing down the projectile means using less propellant, which results in less volume of gas escaping from the barrel behind it. That reduces recoil.\n\nIf you're talking about "felt" recoil, though, as opposed to actual recoil, the easiest way is to make the grip thicker, specifically, if you can widen the backstrap you will perceive less recoil than with a thinner backstrap.

Trying to kick a firearm out of someone’s hand is a good way to get your manhood shot off.  If you think you must use a kick to disarm them, then kick them in there nuts.  With your hands crossed at the wrist right hand on top, move the cross up under there wrist, roll your left hand and grab there outside wrist, with your right grab the slide or cylinder of the firearm bending there wrist so the gun point at there chest and twist up. You must make sure that your little finger blocks the hammer from moving.  If the hammer comes down on your finger it will hurt like a mother so be prepared to feel the pain.  If some one pulls a gun on me I will not kick them. I will shoot them.  I know this did not answer your question but it was the best I could do without showing you.  Ask this question in the hunting section and see what answers you get.

A good answer was to lean it to one side.  Just make sure that you are accurate that way.  That's similiar to shooting a pistol sideways.  Some people can do, others can't.  \n\nAnother trick is to hold your index finger along the arrow as your draw it back.  Just make sure that you put your finger back down before you release.

The three most likely causes are 1. weak spring.  Take it to a gunsmith.  2. a bent or damaged firing pin.  Take it to a gunsmith.  3. Dirt in the firing pin hole or around the firing pin.  Use a cleaning solvent and a tooth brush to flush the dirt out and then spray some WD-40 into it and let it set for a few hours.  Wipe it dry and try it to see if you have solved the problem.  Try number 3 first because it is the only one that you can do yourself.  If that doesn't work, then take it to the gunsmith.

I have a glock 22.  Listen, to take the weapon apart, please make sure it is not loaded.  W/ finger OFF of the trigger, remove the mag.  Then with the finger off of the trigger, lock the slide back to the rear, the round in the chamber should pop out.  make sure the round is out of the weapon by looking and physically checking.  Return the slide and decock the weapon pointing away from you and in a safe direction.  Using your first finger and your thumb pull down the two metal tabs on the left and right side of the weapon, at the same time slide back the slide until it comes all the way off.  You should be able to remove all the parts of the weapon then.

first make sure the scope mounts are matched as a set\nthen check to see that they are mounted properly to the base\nalso check that the scope base is properly mounted and is the correct type for your gun\nif all is good cut up an aluminum can and try shimming the scope inside the rings\ncans typically are .005 thick\nyou may use up to 2 pieces\ncut the aluminum to fit exactly to the size of the rings and shim the bottom half of the ring where the scope sits in it\nwhile you have the scope off check carefully to assure that the scope tube is not bent\nthis happens when people dont set the scope in the rings and over tighten the screws

you can get it changed at the paintball field, they have the little machine, and you put your barrel on the top and fire a shot and it'll will time it. then all you need to do is adjust it to your preference. but i usually have it all the way turned. the balls goes faster and hurts more. lol.

I don't have one in front of me but\n1. make sure unloaded (duh)\n2. pull trigger\n3. with right hand grasp the gun in such a way that you can pull the slide back  a quarter to half an inch with only your right hand. wrap your fingers around the back of the slide and have the web of your pointy finger and thumb on the grip under the slide.\n4.squeeze your right hand this will pull the slide back slightly\n5. While the slide is back with your left hand squeaze the little bar in front of the trigger guard and pull it down then pull the slide towards the muzzle.\nVoila' \nNow with slide in hand push the recoil spring forward lift up and pull out. Then the barrel comes out easily. You are done\n\nI recommend  break free clp for cleaning (buy at walmart or anywhere). With spray tube lightly spray the rails on the frame.\nspray the the inside and outside of the barrel spray the inside and outside of the slide. While you are letting this soak use a brush and cotton swabs to clean the mechanism inside of the frame. clean ALL the Clp off and put a drop of clp on the top of the barrel right in front the chamber and put a drop on the top of the barrel 3/4 of an inch back from the muzzle. Then put a drop on each of the rails on the frame. Put back together. \nA couple of things to add: in spite of my explanation it is easy :pull slide back a little, pull down bar, and slide slides forward. If you use jacketed bullets don't worry about getting the bore (inside of barrel) sparkly. An easy way to clean it is with a bore snake. That's right all you need is a bore snake and a can of clp \nDon't clean your gun after every use. Clean it after a thousand rounds or once or twice a year which ever comes first. Let the arguing begin....

I use a .243 myself.  It's light and there's not much recoil, but travels well and will put one down.

Recoil, in common everyday language, is considered the backward kick or force produced by a gun when it is fired. In more precise scientific terms, this force is equal to the derivative of the backward momentum resulting when a gun is fired.\n\nThe backward momentum is equal to the mass of the gun times its reverse velocity. This backward momentum is equal to the sums of the two forward momentums by the law of conservation of momentum and is due to and equal to the projectile's mass times its velocity added to the mass of the escaping gases, burnt propellant, unburnt propellant, and other gases, times their respective velocities. \n\nFor your case, we don't know enough information about the gases and other by-products of the firing. However, if we assume they are negligable, we can focus on the bullets.\n\nConservation of momentum:\nMh * vh1 = Mh * vh2 + Mb * vb\n\nwhere;\nMh is the mass of the helicopter\nvh1 is the initial velocity of the helicopter\nvh2 is the velocity of the helicopter after the firing\nMb is the mass of the bullets\nvb is the velocity of the bullets\n\nDepending on the accuracy of the answer you want, you may want to consider that the mass of the helicopter will change as the bullets leave the gun.\nMh * vh1 = (Mh - Mb) * vh2 + Mb * vb\nhowever, you don't have enough information to solve it in this case. You would need to know the velocity of the helicopter after the firing (vh2). Don't worry about it, I am probably just confusing you.\n\nBack to the question:\nMh * vh1 = Mh * vh2 + Mb * vb\n\nMh * vh1 - Mh * vh2 = Mb * vb\n\nMh * (vh1 -  vh2) = Mb * vb\n\n(vh1 -  vh2) = Mb * vb / Mh

go with Doobie. Believe it or not, hot soapy water is best. You don't  have to get it too hot, though. Wash thoroughly then make your final rinse water really hot -- nearly boiling. That will dry the gun. when it cools a bit, do a good job oiling it. \n\nHave fun, be safe! \n\nLeigh M\nNRA Instuctor\nhttp://www.NWSafe.org

a) It will decrease in speed as soon as the accelerative force of the explosive gas ceases to be greater than the drag of the gun barrel or the air or other media it passes through. This could mean that it begins to slow down in the barrel, or soon after leaving it. Certainly, after a few feet from the gun barrel one would expect the gases from the gun to be dissipated and the bullet to begin to be dragged by the air. However, the reduction in speed of a high velocity bullet could be negligible for seconds after firing.\n\nb) As soon as the bullet leaves the barrel it will begin to drop towards the earth. The formula for this is: \ndistance =0.5*acceleration*(time-squared)\n\nAcceleration at sea level is 9.81 metres per second per second. Thus it will take almost exactly 2 seconds for the bullet to drop the 20 metres from your firing platform. (square root of [20/(0.5*9.81)]  )\n\nc) See b above. The bullet is acted upon by gravity at all times. It is only prevented from being accelerated downwards by a force equal or greater to its weight pushing it up. In your example the gun barrel supports it until the bullet leaves the barrel, then begins to fall. Even if you pointed the gun straight up, the bullet will be slowed by gravity as soon as it leaves the barrel and gases behind, gradually slowing to a stop and falling back to land on your head.\n\nIf the bullet had enough horizontal velocity to make it to the horizon within two seconds, it would have acheived the required "escape velocity" to leave or orbit the earth, always falling but never landing. As the horizon at sea level is eight miles away this would need a speed of 28,800 miles per hour or 46,340 kilometers per hour. \n\nThe speed of sound is c.1,220 km/hour, so this would be 38 times the speed of sound!\nThe muzzle velocity of most military calibres is c.700metres/second or 2, 520 km/h or twice the speed of sound.\n\nThus in the two seconds it takes the bullet to fall to earth it would have carried some 1,400 metres.\n\nd) Very much so!

first let me say if you plan to use the gun to shoot animals please go **** yourself. that said the 93 is pretty strait forward the clip goes in the top theres a small switch just in front of the sight pull it back and the clip pops out fill the clip by pulling the smull spring inside to the bottem and push the litle peace of plastic to the side to lock it now at the other end is a spring loaded gate pull it back and load bbs put the clip back in the gun. to load Co2 take of the side of the handle un screw the handle on the bottem put the Co2 cartrige in retiten the screw with the handle on the bottem put the cuver back on when shooting you must pull the trigger and theres a lardge butten on the back of the handle that you must squeeze aswell but if you holding the gun its harder not to do this then to do it as far as aiming goes what I do is look at what I'm shooting and pull the triger I don't use the sight

If it's a first gun light weight is the wrong way to go because of recoil.\n\nGet a 1911 powerful and incredibly easy to use.\n\nAnd I aggree learn about them before you buy one.

disasemble the gun and fix it

once you pick the correct arbor for the caliber and insert it into the muzzle attach the culminator to the arbor\nmake sure it is leveled AND AWAY YOU GO\ni am not aware of any height adjustment

-mount the scope.  \n-go to a gunsmith and have him boresight it for a small fee.\n-take the gun with the mounted and boresighted scope to a range where you can shoot 100 yards. \n-shoot at a target at 100 yards(paper bullseye target)\n-if the bullet hole is  high to the bullseye, turn the knob on the side that says up-down one click per 1/4 inch..either up or down.until you are in line with the bullseye\n-if the hole is side to side.. use the knob on the top the same way.  \n- use a gun vise or sandbag to get steady shots.
