The recoil force only acts during the time that the ejecta are still in the barrel of the gun.

The recoil force proved to be too much for the mount, and the idea was abandoned.

The recoil force is a strong function of the peak temperature.

Repeated recoil forces can cause movement of the action in the stock.

While this recoil force is significant, in practice cannon fire only slows the aircraft a few miles per hour.

They'd mounted it on a small cart that could roll back into a pile of dirt under the recoil force.

The brakes are changed depending on the recoil force of the rounds being fired.

This system damped out the recoil forces and made for a very steady firing platform.

This anomaly is now believed to be accounted for by thermal recoil forces.

Surface tension is responsible for approximately 2/3 of the elastic recoil forces.
