Hiya peeps,
Im wondering is dere a formula for recoil velocity?
Thanks

The formula for recoil velocity is v = m1v1 / (m1 + m2), where v is the recoil velocity, m1 is the mass of the recoilless gun, and m2 is the mass of the projectile.
Recoil velocity is the velocity at which a gun or firearm moves in the opposite direction to the projectile that it fires. It is caused by the conservation of momentum.
The formula for recoil velocity is derived from the conservation of momentum principle, which states that the total momentum of a system before and after an event remains constant. In this case, the momentum of the gun and projectile before firing is equal to the momentum of the gun and projectile after firing, which can be expressed as m1v1 = (m1 + m2)v.
The units for recoil velocity depend on the units used for mass and velocity in the formula. Generally, mass is measured in kilograms (kg) and velocity in meters per second (m/s), so the units for recoil velocity would be kg*m/s.
Recoil velocity can affect the accuracy of a firearm by causing it to move in the opposite direction of the projectile, potentially affecting the trajectory of the bullet. In addition, high recoil velocity can make it more difficult for a shooter to maintain a steady aim, leading to decreased accuracy.
