#Muzzle velocity calculator full size

This calculator assumes the simplest possible approximation and will give you a good idea of the velocity of the recoil and thus a notional force of the recoil on the shoulder. It is difficult to accurately calculate this value because there are an enormous number of variables that will have an effect on the outcome in the real world. When the gun is fired a bullet is launched forward at high speed and the opposite reaction causes the comparatively much heavier weapon to move in the opposite direction, generally back towards the shooter, though at a proportionately much slower speed. Recoil, commonly referred to as 'kick', is the force exerted back towards the shooter. When firing a traditional gun that uses expanding gases to propel a projectile out of a barrel there are many forces being exerted. The recoil velocity of a gun is a simple application of the conservation of momentum where the moment of the bullet going away is equal to the momentum of the gun recoil. And the velocity is then proportional to the ratio of the mass of the bullet to the mass of the rifle. The same force is applied to the small bullet that is applied to the much more massive rifle. In this case the force applied to give the bullet it's velocity leaving the muzzle is directly proportional and opposite to the force propelling the rifle backward from the firing direction. This recoil is based on Newton's 3rd Law, for every force there is an equal and opposite force. However, this can be automatically converted to compatible units via the pull-down menu. Recoil Velocity (RV): The calculator returns the velocity in meters per second. INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following: You'll even be able to take JBM's extremely accurate calculations with you, even into areas with no cellular coverage.The Recoil velocity of a gun calculator computes the velocity at which a gun will move in the opposite direction in relation to the projectile that it fired.

JBM is used by world-class shooters everywhere to deliver some of the most precise calculations. The world renowned JBM Ballistics computer powers all of Ballistic's computations.

With a vast library of over 5,000 projectiles and factory loads, and advanced features - Mil-Dot and MOA rangefinder with head-up display capabilities, GPS and atmosphere awareness, full size charts, reloading companion, precision target log, and option HUD for mounted firing - Ballistic is a complete precision marksman tool for hunting, at the range, or at home with your hand loads. It’s also much more than a basic trajectory calculator. Ballistic can compensate for atmospheric conditions such as temperature, barometric pressure, humidity, and altitude (it can also accept density of air or density altitude input). Ballistic is the definitive ballistics trajectory calculator for iOS devices, intended for serious shooters who want a serious (and seriously accurate application).īallistic calculates trajectory, windage, velocity, energy, lead, and bullet flight time for any valid range.
