Is it possible to invent a assault rifle with zero recoil?

OH NOES TEH SCARAY!

I would put the butt of a Ruger 10/22 up to my crotch and pull the trigger repeatedly...in fact, I have done this. It has no recoil.

Yes it does. Not much, but it does. Unless you're not shooting anything, anyway.

.22 Long Rifle? Shooting it out of a rifle? No, it doesn't.

It barely has any recoil out of a handgun.

Railguns would definitely have recoil, as would a laser pistol that had as much power as a .308 in a single shot.

pew pew pew!

What the fuck is the point of a gun like that? It's completely impractical.

Laws of motion say no.

As you can tell by the name of the gun, it's to kill a T-Rex when the T-Rex zombies come after us.

Duh.

Oh, and the guy at 2:29 is the real man. Barely even flinches from the recoil.

Elephants, rhinos etc. Probably oversized even for that.

damnit

^^^ Fail

Can you ? Of course.
It wouldn't be portable though and probably wouldn't resemble a rifle.

You can tell he is one of the few with any gun firing experience. Most of those were noobs.
Never lean back when firing a gun unless you like to fall on your ass.

Full auto 12 guage assault shotgun with low recoil AA12 military.

All civilians with a clean record and enough cash should be able to own a licensed copy of this weapon. In the wrong hands however, it would make SWAT run away! :shocked:

Thats all I was saying originally. Recoil shouldn't ever be a problem if firing positioning is correct. My buddy shoots Barret .50's for the Marines and he said after you get ok with it and know how to sit with it its not so bad...

 

[Chaotic42]

It would need infinite mass.

It doesn't have zero recoil. It is low but not zero. Rapid fire shots also tend to cause an gradual increase in recoil. So you start with 9% recoil, then each shot starts adding to it as you fire in succession. So by the time you reach the last shot the recoil is around 15%.

Still a great single /double shot weapon.

Yeah it really is all about stance and how to hold the gun. I've seen quite a few people go to the ER with broken shoulders and jaws from firing high powered rifles like they were bb guns.

OH NOES TEH SCARAY!

still wouldn't be an assault rifle, by real terms...
that's a different story if you use the media and CA terms though.

If you could somehow divert the kick back energy to make something in the gun spin, maybe. Really not sure how that would work though. Even then I don't think you could make the energy transfer 100% efficient so you'd still get some recoil. Would also sound funny every time you shoot.

yes it does. it may not be much or you may not feel it, but it has recoil.
just because you can't feel it doesn't mean it's not there.

The Joker took down the Batwing when he used something similar, so I'd say it's quite useful.

I would love to fire that gun. Just to see how far I'd go flying, and how badly hurt I'd get. I never figured a gun before, but even people who seem to be experienced in fireing high powered riffles are having trouble with that one lol.

Because building things bigger is fun.

You can tell the experienced ones because they lean forward. Similar to when you fire a machine gun you have to lean into it somewhat.

One guy in the video looks like he puts the butt of the gun somewhere on his arm, near the bicep. Another guy looks like he holds the butt an inch or two away from his shoulder, instead of contacting the shoulder. I'm not sure which one would hurt worse.
