hey folks. i posted this earlier in the classical physics section, but i think i may have hit a wall over there. I'm thinking engineers might be better suited to this problem.
basically, I'm trying to figure out how to fire a blank round in a 76mm gun and make it recoil like it does when i fire a real round.
i've drafted the basic problem and all the known variables in this document - you can download it here: http://utahmvc.org/blankfiremodel.pdf"
just so you know my background - I'm not a physics guy, or an ME, but I'm a software guy (er, and a 76mm guy. ;-)
any help would be much appreciated, or if you think this is beyond the scope of this kind of forum and you know where i can pay a modest fee for a very small consulting job on this, i'd appreciate a pointer. this is just a personal project for my hobby. (and yes, it's all legal and registered with the ATF.)
