All that doubling the weight of the gun is going to do is decrease the total amount of recoil felt, in your example what it would do is cut the recoil in half. It's a one to one relationship of gun weight to recoil. Let's change the gun then, make it an actual double barrel shotgun with a...

Ok, so after getting home I realize my argument is invalid for the doubling of the muzzle velocity. My apologies to all, after reading my notes my memory apparently isn't as good as I thought, I was confusing muzzle velocity with recoil velocity. Prop and MB, you guys are right about the muzzle...

If the weight of the everything coming out of the barrel is the same, the recoil is the same. The weights aren't the same so the recoil of the 10g is greater.

Then what does the system experience if the velocity in one barrel is 1000 fps and the other is 1002 fps? It's not 1001.

Prop, in your equations, the way you solved them, you are proving that the recoil doubles if you double the amount of shot, etc, in a single barrel. That's easily provable just like what you did. However, you're not dealing with a single barrel, you're dealing with two separate barrels that are...

Nice Bevo. I'm seeing the conveyor belt/airplane thread developing. I actually just submitted this to Mythbusters! Yes, if you use the velocity of only one barrel in the equations, the total increases by two. But, you have to sum the velocities for the equation to be correct. You look like you...

And people who understand both go out and set records.

Well, at least my mom thought I was cool.

If you could fire both guns at literally the exact same instant then the recoil impulse has now become a singularity. As a result, they can easily be summed together since they are effectively acting at the same time. Hence, the total recoil in your example will again increase by a factor of 4...

Well, except that the equation for kinetic energy is KE = 1/2 mV^2. So, since a higher velocity would be required to produce the higher muzzle energy in your example, the recoil force would also be different. The squared term in the equation makes the results non-linear, which is what you were...

Both guns individually have the same velocity, for example 1000 fps. The total velocity in the firing of both barrels is 2000 fps. Counting only the velocity of one barrel would be removing the recoil felt from the other gun. You have to sum the velocities otherwise you're discounting the impact...

I'm trying to find the equation. I had to push the I believe button at first too till I could prove it. The best example I can give is imagine the muzzle velocities as two voltages in series, they are summed. Not true, muzzle energy and recoil are not the same because the weight of the bullet...

**Nerd alert warning** If the triggers were pulled at exactly the same time, you double everything coming out of barrels...gas, unburnt powder, shot, and the velocity also doubles (not for each barrel, for the total sum). Two commonly accepted equations for shotgun recoil are Vg =(Ws + Ww +...

You know, since the triggers are independent he can theoretically pull them at the exact same time. That doesn't double recoil, it increases it by a factor of four. That means out of those barrels if he shot a magnum load, he could possibly have recoil loads upwards of 150-180 ft-lbs, if not...

Is that a screwdriver pulling the triggers?

Jayne Wayne days, I've heard of those with our bros in green, never heard of them with us though. They also had a spouse fam day when I was a stud, they got to drive around the t-34's at Whiting. Money for fuel was the reason I was told they didn't take them on a lap in the pattern. Finally...

Depends on what you mean by bring them into the planes. I've shown my family around the aircraft that I fly, let them climb in and check the stuff out. As for flying them around, it may be possible it's not entirely common. It would depend a lot on your skipper, timing, etc.

When I got my class II a few years ago, it was the same price. Around Milton that seemed to be the mo for the flight docs I talked to, or at least a difference of only $10 bucks or so. The flight doc I had the exam with said that the biggest thing that fails most people was the eye portion...

If you live in Eagle Harbor or Fleming Island Plantation, yes you can. Other parts of Fleming Island, not so much.

Well, since you asked, better graphics, you don't have to pay to go online. Inherent wireless which you don't have to pay extra for. Wireless controllers and bluetooth. Game selection is on par, and Halo wasn't as awesome as I thought it was gonna be when I played it. Blu ray disc support. Add...

I really like Eagle Harbor/Fleming Island. Granted, it's about 40 minutes to the beach but it's only about 15 minutes to NAS. I'm not a big beachgoer type guy so that's not an issue for me. Plus, it's far enough removed from Jacksonville proper that it doesn't even feel like you live in a big...

Yeah, I've actually already talked to him about both Garands I won, he gave me an appraisal on my match M-1. I'm just wondering about stocks. After researching it, does any one company provide stocks that have deeper graining/better quality cut than the other, or are they all pretty similar...

Oh yeah, I agree, if I do put on an aftermarket stock I'm definitely hanging on to the original stock. My thought/goal is that I can just pull it out and say "damn that's a good looking rifle". The beauty is that the stocks are pretty easy to change back and forth so I can just slap the original...

If I'm not mistaken, if you're moving, you can ship a car and deduct that as moving expenses off your taxes at the end of the year. As for Penske trucks, I wouldn't use anything different. Multiple coast-to-coast moves and I've yet to have any problems and the trucks are pretty nice and always...

It's a Navy trophy rifle I won for winning a SecNav pistol match a few years back. It's never been fired since the arsenal rebuild back in '66 so it's like a brand new gun. It's a Springfield receiver but the numbers all don't match. It's been sitting in my safe and I considered trading it for a...

That was roughly the number I heard a few years ago when I selected, so it may be somewhat accurate.

I've got an extra M-1 that I want to turn into a showpiece. It's unfired since it's rebuild so I'm thinking I keep it that way. Anyone know of a source of good, quality stocks? I'm thinking maybe a birch or maple with a clear finish to give it a natural look, but I'm open to suggestions you all...

Some things I could have lived without knowing...your spiraled urethra is one of them!! :icon_tong

Ah, ok. I'm not a .223 shooter so I'm not up on prices. I figured with ammo scarcity right now someone might want to get on it. It's there if anyone needs it!

.223 Ammo Available in Jax Hey guys, considering I'm not a black rifle owner (yet), I figured some of you all might want to get on this. I was at Wal-Mart tonight in Fleming Island and there's a decent number of boxes available. I think it was 10-15-ish 40rd 50gr JHP. I can swing by and pick...

You should realize that the people on this forum aren't flaming on you. You came and asked a question, you're gonna get answers. No one is flaming (yet), they are just simply answering your question. If you don't like the answer you don't have to read it. This site is not exactly a hold-my-hand...

How will that help? All that bird poop to clean up can't be destressing? :D

Bump back to the top. The house will be available 20 July. It's a great location for work and near great schools. Any questions let me know.

Hahaha +1

So do you shop for airline tickets based upon equipment used and not price/schedule?

One captain in the article had failed a check ride 7 times!! I can't imagine what would happen if we failed a Natops/Inst X/Stan check that many times, but I would think it would involve getting the big-boy pants taken away.

Herc beat me to it, but I love the Fortis watches. I love this style, super basic yet classy, and it gets the job done. I'm sporting one, only with the 24 hour dial...

Dang, there goes my multi-ticket. I guess I'll just use the post 9-11 to get my A&P instead :)

I hate all of you skinny s.o.b.'s

You know, I can see that being safe if done properly but damn does that sound like a tedious, pain-in-the-ass effort in futility.

I've always gotten a kick out of pilot watches. In all of my flying I can remember using my watch maybe three or four times, let alone any flight computer watch gizmo.

Yeah, but CJ >>> TJ and XJ, and every other kind, combined (with the exception of the old Willy's)

That's kinda what I was thinking. With the weather radar and capabilities of those airliners, I figured they'd be able to do some sort of threading a needle, so to speak.

Question for the airline pilots here; why not divert around? Or is the 330 equipped to handle flying through pretty severe storms?

Rent is $1300 a month, although I pay $1200 because I do all the yard work and yard care myself. The earliest it could be available would be mid-July to the 1st of August. The address is 1800 Shady Grove Ln, Orange Park, 32003. I'm putting feelers out for my landlord to rent the house I'm in...

From what I understand of the story, it sounds like Continental is pissed because there was a loophole in the contract that allowed the pilots to get the 900k. What would appear to be illegal is if they (the pilots) had lied about being divorced or presented a falsified divorce decree to...

I say bully on 'em. If they did it on purpose that may be shady but it didn't appear to be illegal.

I haven't been to Pusan but I hear it's pretty crappy. :D

Ever priced shipping a couple hundred pounds of cargo same-day air delivery coast to coast? I'll gladly take my less than perfect service for the cheap price I pay for a seat. Beats driving 3-4 days to get there.
