All handguns recoil -- it's a perfect demonstration of Newton's Third Law. But the way we experience that recoil -- the perceived or felt recoil -- often varies dramatically from one gun to the next. Even if we compare two guns of equal weight firing the same cartridge and theoretically transferring the same amount of energy to the shooter's hand via recoil, it's possible for the felt recoil to be vastly different. We analyzed some more high speed footage to help explain why.
