This video explains the concept of bore axis in pistols and its direct impact on muzzle rise and recoil management. A lower bore axis, where the barrel is closer to the shooter's hand, reduces the leverage for muzzle flip. Conversely, a higher bore axis, like on the Desert Eagle, exacerbates muzzle rise due to the mechanics of the slide's reciprocating mass. The presenters demonstrate this with various firearms, highlighting how a lower bore axis contributes to flatter shooting and better recoil control, especially in competition.
