  1. I wondered today what the recoil force of the M256 cannon was firing M829A2. This sent me down a rabbit hole on the internet with more questions than answers so I decided to start smaller with say 2A72 30mm autocannon. Various sources give the recoil force for this gun around the same values (7t, 60Kn, 6000Kg). I wondered if this was the recoil force on the trunnion of say an armored vehicle when the bolt and barrel slammed into the back of the receiver or something different? I used these figures to try to reverse engineer the problem and equation but am not having any luck. I have a lot of different figures for things like recoil length of both guns, projectile weights, powder weights, etc. Any I don't have im sure I can find. Does anyone have a good understanding of these types problems that could help me solve these two?
