Calculate Recoil Velocity





Formula

The formula to calculate the Recoil Velocity (Vr) is:

\[ Vr = \sqrt{\frac{RF}{M} \times \left(\frac{RD}{12}\right) / 32.174049} \]

Where:

What is Recoil Velocity?

Recoil velocity is the speed at which a gun will recoil based on the mass and velocity of the exiting bullet.

Example Calculation

Consider an example where:

Using the formula to calculate the Recoil Velocity:

\[ Vr = \sqrt{\frac{500}{0.02} \times \left(\frac{1}{12}\right) / 32.174049} \approx 8.05 \text{ ft/s} \]

This means that the recoil velocity for this example is approximately 8.05 ft/s.
