Purely subjective question, but pertains to rifle recoil in foot pounds of energy.
Let's say we're talking about 30-06 caliber that produces 20 ft pounds of energy of recoil.
If the test rifle is a bolt action, the recoil energy is 20 fps.
If the test rifle is a Browning semi automatic, the cycling action actually absorbs some of those foot pounds? Or is it merely a perceived phenomenon?
I had physics in college, but it interfered with my hunting and fishing, and I only got a 'C.' I musta been fishing when we studied the above.
