Gun Recoil Force Calculator

Gun Recoil Force Calculator calculator can be used to calculate the recoil force of a gun based on the mass of the bullet, the velocity of the bullet, and the mass of the gun.

Input Parameters

Calculation Results

Calculation Formula

Recoil Force (F) = (Bullet Mass (m) * Bullet Velocity (v)) / Gun Mass (M)

Where:
F = Recoil Force (N)
m = Bullet Mass (kg)
v = Bullet Velocity (m/s)
M = Gun Mass (kg)

Gun Recoil Force Calculator Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the Gun Recoil Force Calculator calculator and its working principles

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the mass of the bullet in kilograms (kg).
  2. Enter the velocity of the bullet in meters per second (m/s).
  3. Enter the mass of the gun in kilograms (kg).
  4. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the recoil force.
  5. The result will be displayed in Newtons (N).

Working Principle

The recoil force is calculated using the principle of conservation of momentum. The formula used is:

Recoil Force (F) = (Bullet Mass (m) * Bullet Velocity (v)) / Gun Mass (M)

This formula assumes that the bullet and the gun are initially at rest and that all the momentum of the bullet is transferred to the gun upon firing.
