recoil velocity

EIRE2003

Hiya peeps,

Im wondering is dere a formula for recoil velocity?

Thanks

I'm not much good at math, and I'm making this up on the spot, but I would asume that one could find what fraction of the the gun's mass the projectile has (M_p/M_g), and the gun's rearward acceleration will be that same fraction of the projectile's forward acceleration. So if M_p/M_g = n, then A_p x n should = A_g.
