Recoil energy is the measured energy in translational kinetic energy (Et) imparted to the shooter of a firearm when discharged and is expressed in Joule (J) or Foot-pound force (ft-lbf). Recoil energy, sometimes called “free recoil”, is a byproduct of the propulsive force from the powder charge held within a firearm chamber or breech. The physical event of recoil energy occurs when a powder charge is detonated within a firearm, resulting in the conversion of its chemical energy to thermodynamic energy. This energy is then transferred to the base of the projectile and to the rear of the cartridge or breech, recoiling the firearm rearward into the shooter while the projectile is propelled forward down the barrel. The rearward energy of the firearm when calculated is the recoil energy and the

abstract	Recoil energy is the measured energy in translational kinetic energy (Et) imparted to the shooter of a firearm when discharged and is expressed in Joule (J) or Foot-pound force (ft-lbf). Recoil energy, sometimes called “free recoil”, is a byproduct of the propulsive force from the powder charge held within a firearm chamber or breech. The physical event of recoil energy occurs when a powder charge is detonated within a firearm, resulting in the conversion of its chemical energy to thermodynamic energy. This energy is then transferred to the base of the projectile and to the rear of the cartridge or breech, recoiling the firearm rearward into the shooter while the projectile is propelled forward down the barrel. The rearward energy of the firearm when calculated is the recoil energy and the forward energy of the projectile when calculated and is the muzzle energy. The concept or word usage of free recoil comes from the tolerability of gross recoil energy. Trying to figure the net recoil energy of a firearm (also known as felt recoil) is a futile endeavor. Even if you can calculate the recoil energy loss due to: muzzle brake; recoil operated action or gas operated action; mercury recoil suppression tube; recoil reducing butt pad and or hand grip; shooting vest and or gloves, the human factor is not calculable. Therefore, free recoil stands as a scientific measurement of recoil energy, just as room temperature is measured. The comfort level of a shooter’s ability to tolerate free recoil is a personal perception. Just as it is a personal perception of how comfortable he or she feels to room temperature. There are many factors that determine how a shooter will perceive the recoil energy of his or her small arm. Some of the factors are, but not limited to: body mass; body frame; experience; shooting position; recoil suppression equipment; small arm fit and or environmental stressors.
