describes the recoil of a gun, when fired, as the force acting on it caused by the departure of the projectile, the muzzle. This concept is known since the powder was used to send objects over long distances, be it a simple cannonball or fireworks. Example:
A similar phenomenon occurs in firearms. The cartridge is composed of a primer and a powder charge that is what causes the gas to drive the projectile. At the time of detonation of the explosive occurs, it is transmitted to the powder, which causes an explosion in a very short space of time, producing a large amount of gas which increases the pressure inside the cartridge. This pressure pushes the projectile, which accelerates along the barrel until it finally ejected from the mouth of it. It is at that moment, and not before, when recoil occurs.
