If you get hit by a 7.62mm round, used in say, AK-47's or battle rifles, you -will- be knocked down. That round is heavy and it is hitting you hard.stukov961 said:And my favorite beeing knocked back by a bullet.
One of Newton's laws of motion, I think it's the second or third one outright proves that to be knocked of your feet by a bullet would the force produced would have knock the one holding the gun over from massive recoil.
Depends what's being fired, and where. A .22 rifle fired in an open field makes a firecracker sound scary.Buleet said:Ill start with gunshots being very very loud.Apparently they sound more like firecrackers.
The physics you speak of is different, like newtons cradle, its his working example for that effect. However with a gun its different as there are dozens of different components for shock absorption and changing effects. For example, gun springs, gas outlets, directional force (going out the tube is easier than pushing back), aerodynamics, power of explosion vs strength of medium, the physics behind gunfire are many. And even then firing a gun the wrong way can knock you off your feet.stukov961 said:And my favorite beeing knocked back by a bullet.

My point wasn't that you can't be knocked back by bullets it was that the shooter is affected by a force of the same magnitude - the recoil. And a bullet exerts a large force on a very small area, thus if you're not wearing any bullet protection the bullet will most likely exit the body, taking a great deal of it's momentum with it. Wearing a bulletproof vest spreads that force over a much larger area, reducing the risk of a fatal wound as well ass making it more likely for the one beeing shot keels over backwards.AmrasCalmacil said:If you get hit by a 7.62mm round, used in say, AK-47's or battle rifles, you -will- be knocked down.

For my own contribution.
Shooting a flamethrower's tank won't make it explode, the fuel will just spray out and knock the person with the tank on their back off of their feet.

Who ever said I was American mind you?SirBryghtside said:Oh, and the American view that British people know anything about the teeth stereotype.
Seriously, when you go to Britain, say that to someone. They will not have a clue what you're talking about.
mostly examples from american media though which is presumably why you where called oneArachon said:Who ever said I was American mind you?SirBryghtside said:Oh, and the American view that British people know anything about the teeth stereotype.

And eh, seems as a pretty widespread stereotype, it's even a trope [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BritishTeeth].
I've never understood why people think that shotguns have such short range. If you think about it for 20 seconds, even if you've never seen a real shotgun, you can conclude that a bullet wouldn't be going fast enough to turn a torso to mist for a few feet and then fall to the ground. That would mean that the bullet magically negated its own momentum.N1ceDreamz said:That shotguns can only hit targets less then ten feet away, STOP GETTING YOUR FACTS FROM COD.
I always thought that it was just a stereotype, until I was at an airport in heathrow and saw a ridiculous amount of british people with bad teeth.Killbot said:I will NEVER understand where the "bad toothed Brit" stereotype comes from. Just because Prince Charles is an imbred doesn't mean we all are.
And tbh, i've seen FAR more mouth horror stories in your Wal-mart pictorial gems than I have in dentists here... oh yeah... free health care... ouch.
Of course, this would make actual warfare hilarious.stukov961 said:That bullets cause sparks when they impact say asphalt.
Cars that explode in a huge fireball.

I can't remember what website it was on, but they did a study that showed Britain actually have the best teeth. It had something to do with banishing myths, like the French being cowards too.Arachon said:No, the only bad thing about you are your teeth.EmileeElectro said:The British are bad guys or idiots.

Hell, Britain gave us Monty Python, they can't be bad!
