The short recoil action dominates the world of centerfire semi-automatic pistols, being found in nearly all weapons chambered for high-pressure pistol cartridges of 9×19mm Parabellum and larger, while low-pressure pistol cartridges of .380 ACP and smaller generally use the blowback method of operation. Short recoil operation differs from long ...
Firearms that are physically small, such as handguns, use a system of recoil referred to as short recoil. [1] [4] This is adequate for the smaller calibers. In large firearms such as the Browning M2HB .50 caliber machine gun a similar system called long recoil is used. The difference is how far the breech and barrel recoil together after a shot ...

In most cases, a gun is very close to a free-recoil condition, since the recoil process generally lasts much longer than the time needed to move the ejecta down the barrel. An example of near zero-recoil would be a gun securely clamped to a massive or well-anchored table, or supported from behind by a massive wall.

Free recoil / Frecoil is a vernacular term or jargon for recoil energy of a firearm not supported from behind. Free recoil denotes the translational kinetic energy ( E t ) imparted to the shooter of a small arm when discharged and is expressed in joules (J), or foot-pound force (ft·lb f ) for non-SI units of measure.
A flip-up barrel and lack of extractor on a Beretta Bobcat semi-automatic pistol. Some very early blowback pistols used ammunition with no rim or extractor groove on the cartridge cases (e.g., 5mm Bergmann), and such pistols, therefore, lacked extractors. The spent case was forced out of the chamber by recoil and was subsequently ejected.
In both the open and standard rifle divisions, minor power factor is dominating due to less recoil, and 5.56×45mm/ .223 Rem is a common caliber. Ammunition loaded to major power factor such as 7.62×51 mm/ .308 Win has a bigger recoil impulse, and is regarded as having an advantage on stages with targets at long range.
