Recoil is the equal and opposite of the force driving the bullet. A heavier gun is a greater mass to be moved by that recoil.

Why does the recoil of a heavy gun on firing not so strong as alight gun using the same cartridges?
You have heard "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction". Recoil of a gun is the reaction to the action of firing a bullet. In the case of a heavy firearm, there is more mass in which the energy is divided- itmoves more weight, with less speed. A lighter firearm, having less weight, moves faster, and gives more noticeable recoil.
Which has more kick 9mm .40 .45 ACP?
Generally speaking, the 9mm will have the least recoil of those 3. When comparing 40 to 45, the 40 has a sharper recoil because it is a higher pressure cartridge than the 45, and most people interpret that as heavier recoil. However, all of that is conditional on the size and weight of the gun. When shooting a heavier gun, you will generally feel less recoil than when shooting a comparable gun that is lighter. So a big heavy 45 will have less recoil than a small light 45.
When a gun is firedwhy it recoils?
Newton's Law- for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When the bullet is pushed forward out of the barrel, then the gun is pushed back by an equal amount. That is recoil, or "kick". The amount is based on the weight and speed of the bullet, and the weight of the gun. All things being equal, a light bullet kicks less than a heavy bullet, and a heavy gun kicks less than a lighweight gun.
Can you make a non-recoil bb gun into recoil?
It is not possible.
How can you use recoil in a sentence?
as a VERB: This gun will recoil a lot. or: He recoiled at the awful sight of the wrecked car. as a NOUN: This gun has a lot of recoil. The recoil of a .338 magnum rifle is uncomfortable.
What is recoil velocity?
When a gun is fired, the projectile goes one way, the gun goes in the opposite direction. That is recoil. Recoil velocity would be the speed at which the gun moves when it recoils. Since the gun is heavier than the projectile, it will recoil more slowly than the projectile moves.
How do you clean the auto gas recoil to correct ejection problems on a Browning Light Twenty semi-automatic?
The Auto-5 Light 20 has no gas system. It is a recoil operated shotgun. Make sure the gun is cleaned properly and that the outside of the magazine tube is not oiled. Have the gun checked over by a gunsmith and he can show you the proper way to install the recoil system components.
What is the recoil of a7mm?
There are more than rifle cartridge called "7mm" and they are not equal in power or equal in recoil. A 7 x 57mm Mauser will be moderate-recoiling, but a 7mm Remington Magnum will be in the heavy recoil category. And the weight (mass) of the rifle matters, too. With a heavy gun, the recoil will feel less to you, and it will be like a shove. A light weight gun fired with the exact same ammo in it might feel like a hard slap. Not as comfortable. Any 7mm hunting or military rifle should be OK for an adult man or woman of normal size to shoot at least a few rounds from without pain or bruising.
What is the term recoil o f the gun?
Bullet forward, gun back - as in when the gun is fired, the bullet goes forward, and the explosion pushes (recoil) the gun backwards.

Does a recoil spring make your gun less recoil?
Not all guns have a recoil spring. In the case of guns like the 1911A1 .45 cal pistol, when the gun fires, the slide is driven back by recoil (kick). The recoil spring is compressed, stops the slide from moving back, and pushes the slide forward for the next shot. Is does not make the gun recoil less.
How much recoil does a 9mm have?
Depends to some degree on how the cartridge is loaded, and the weight of the gun firing it- heavy guns recoil less. Recoil is similar to a .38 Special- more than a .22, less than a .45. My granddaughter is in her mid teens and shoots my Browning Hi Power 9mm, so recoil is not that bad.
