One remark, recoil depends on impulse, not energy. Which is why heavier bullets kick more than lighter bullets of equal energy.
m(bullet)V(bullet) [+m(gas)V(gas)]*= m(gun)V(gun)
*negligible for most handguns, big factor shooting magnum rifle
I think hardball's formula is derived from this, not sure with all the conversion factors (long live SI)
