Sometimes ammo will forget to produce a recoil & upon remembering, they will throw it in a bit late. It depends how old the ammo is. The older we get, the more we forget

A small bullet -mass to shooter-mass ratio results in a low recoil velocity although the force and momentum are equal.

Bullet proof vests will leave you unharmed. Bad guys plan to shoot you repeatedly with their AK-47s, but you have an ace in the hole: a bulletproof vest.

Don’t blame the bullets or the guns. They are just the messenger. Blame the person sending the message!

@Todd30 both parts of that statement are false.

@Todd30 - got into spin info because I was pushing the limitations on BULLETS that were shedding their Jackets. The first time I saw it took me a while to figure it out. The targets had micro cuts around the bullet hole in the target. It’s hard to Believe that a bullet can spin that fast. Once you start going over 35,000 rpms strange things happen. Especially with a one and seven twist rate. THANKS

The highest atmospheric density on Mars is equal to the density found 35 km (22 mi) above the Earth’s surface and is ~0.020 kg/m3. You would not be light weight.

@Todd30 >>> as long as your up there, what about oxygen on Mars ??
Because it brings up the question about ignition IE : cartridge primer, or does the primer create its own oxygen like say magnesium ??? :popcorn::popcorn::popcorn::popcorn::popcorn::popcorn:

Mars atmosphere is made up of;
95% by volume of carbon dioxide (CO2
2.6% molecular nitrogen
1.9% argon
0.16% molecular oxygen
0.06% carbon monoxide
but,
Gunpowder contains its own oxygen so the bullet will have no problem being accelerated out of the barrel of the firearm .

That was a poke at the anti-gun phrase that “guns kill people” but I’m with you @Shamrock

it does claim to be bullet “proof” :laughing: maybe more so resistant

To shoot around objects use arm motion to curve the bullet while firing.
