It was an exercise to poke holes in your explanation of physics. Not much left to discuss to move this thread forward with your last repsonse so good luck.

sigh.....i hate myself for getting involved.....but......

a bullet would not have potential energy....the powder would.

geez chuck.....thats pretty good right there. you be careful or next thing you know 209 is gonna wanna meet for coffee and hang out with you.

Sorry if I seem short but you just don't get it.....

lefty.....you are missing the point here and it seems that some are having some fun with you. let me fill you in on the joke.........

what do you think recoil is? the lightbulb over your head is gonna flick on in the next couple of seconds.....

A bullet in a drawn slingshot would have potential energy

the bullet would? isnt the potential energy stored in the rubber which upon release would be transferred to the bullet.

you get a lightbulb too.

Well then you better try again, you'll get something right eventually.

K, I just had to!

Well duh, I get the "equal or opposite reaction" is the recoil....I figured I didnt need to put an explanation into that as well....

Clearly there is no more constructive responses here....and this thread got WAAAY of topic from it original intent, I tried to steer it back but was unsuccessful. We can all kill our animals and interpret what happens our own ways apparently. Said it before and I'll say it again, "dead is dead"

....just like this thread....

Can you? I'm all ears waiting to find out why that killer hydrostatic shockwave flips the switch on game but not you when you create it. Go ahead inform me.

Rifle recoil is most simply explained by Newton's First and Second Laws of Motion. When a rifle is fired, a force is exerted on the bullet that projects it forward. By Newton's 1st Law, it can be inferred that an opposite force will be imposed on the rifle. From Newton's 2nd Law it can be deduced that this force can cause an acceleration (linear or angular) which results in velocity and therefore kinetic energy. Energy is also transferred into the marksman in the form of work, the total of this energy is called Recoil Energy.

A bullet weight is alot less than the weight of a rifle and the shooter combined, orders of magnitude less....thats why

....I'm spent....no more need to inform the already informed/uninformed right?

by my last post you should have got it but clearly you don't read posts you just like to poke an antagonize and hide behind the guise you are all knowing but you never have offered any concrete evidence to support your cause,

When will the troll be fed? I don't know but I am no longer feeding the troll.

Now, now such rudeness from you is very unbecoming. Perhaps it is just frustration at your inability to put your thoughts down orderly in a post and makes sense. If that is the case then I apologize for calling you rude. Your posts are rather convoluted and hard to follow.

I prod you simply to help you expand your mind. If you were to research the question you find a lot of answers that you seek.

LOL, I don't need a scolding from an internet random...condescending passive aggressive behaviour is rude as well...I do appreciate the friendly banter though.

Good, I enjoy friendly banter as well. LOL!

am i in bizzaro world? lololol.

i think he has a decent understanding of whats going on here.....just hasnt quite got it in the right order. another page or two and he'll get it straight.
