Recoil is the rearward motion of the firearm as a result of firing. It considers the forces acting on a fired firearm, which can cause the handgrip to gently rotate in the hand or the buttstock’s heel to push against the shooter’s shoulder. So, the recoil is the reaction force that is absorbed through the shooter’s hand or shoulder, caused by the force that releases the explosion in ammunition and sends the bullet through the barrel, according to Newton’s third law of motion. Figure 2.12 shows the components involved in the recoil [39].

The remaining force acting on the cannon is the reaction to rifling torque if rifling is present. This does not alter the recoil of the gun. Often a key fixed to the gun mount projects into an axial keyway groove cut along the recoil length of the OD of the cannon. During recoil, the groove slides past the stationary key acting as a cam to prevent the barrel from rotating.

Recoil decreased with a decrease in amplitude or an increase in width. Testing results also confirmed this trend except for dp4, which can be attributed to a measurement error. Low amplitude and high width correspond to high stiffness leading to higher stresses for the same deformation. The high stresses caused higher-yielding or permanent deformation and less recoil. Maximum and minimum recoil was observed for higher amplitude (dp3) and lower amplitude (dp1), respectively.
