Something I’d never thought of

When Does the Pistol Slide Start to Move?

Sooner than I thought.

    Seems pretty academic to me. Newton’s Third Law of Physics: Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Force from the burning powder pushes backward on the slide at the same time it pushes forward on the bullet.

    The bullet only moves faster because it has significantly less mass.

    When can we get to the important questions of gun theology, like how many angels (or demons) can dance on the muzzle of a Glock 43?

  3. Lyle Says:

    What Ravenwood says; they start to move at the same time, at very different rates.

    mikee; the answer of course is 42.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
