In non-recoil-operated firearms, it is generally the entire firearm that recoils. However, in recoil-operated firearms, only a portion of the firearm recoils while inertia holds another portion motionless relative to a mass such as the ground, a ship's gun mount, or a human holding the firearm. The moving and the motionless masses are coupled ...
Ejecta Blankets: Ejecta blankets are the continuous layer of debris that surrounds the impact crater, thinning outwards from the crater's rim. The composition of the ejecta blanket can provide valuable information about the geological composition of the impacted surface and the projectile that caused the impact.
The first was to attach the gun to the pendulum, and measure the recoil. Since the momentum of the gun is equal to the momentum of the ejecta, and since the projectile was (in those experiments) the large majority of the mass of the ejecta, the velocity of the bullet could be approximated. The second, and more accurate method, was to directly ...
The nature of the recoil process is determined by the force of the expanding gases in the barrel upon the gun (recoil force), which is equal and opposite to the force upon the ejecta. It is also determined by the counter-recoil force applied to the gun (e.g. an operator's hand or shoulder, or a mount).
An M40 recoilless rifle on its M79 "wheelbarrow" tripod Diagram of the operation of a recoilless rifle using a vented case. A recoilless rifle (), recoilless launcher (), or simply recoilless gun, sometimes abbreviated to "RR" or "RCL" (for ReCoilLess) [1] is a type of lightweight artillery system or man-portable launcher that is designed to eject some form of countermass such as propellant ...

Paying homage to the sort of easy-to-follow instructions popularized by Ikea—which has pledged to use only renewable energy by 2020—we've crafted a simple how-to kit for transitioning to a low-carbon economy.
Conversions for short recoil pistols, such as the M1911, Glock, and Beretta 92 consist of a new upper assembly and magazine. Conversions for .22 caliber centerfire rifles and carbines such as the AR-15 and Mini-14 consist of a magazine and an insert that replaces the bolt and includes a cartridge conversion insert that goes into the chamber.
