This video explores firearm recoil dynamics by shooting various guns while on roller skates. It demonstrates how different calibers and actions, from a 9mm PCC to a .50 BMG Barrett, affect shooter displacement on a smooth surface. The experiment highlights the significant recoil of a 12 gauge shotgun and a full-auto AK-47, while also showcasing the effectiveness of a Barrett's muzzle brake.

Quick Summary

Demolition Ranch tested firearm recoil on roller skates, measuring displacement. A 9mm MPX showed minimal movement, while a 12 gauge shotgun moved the shooter 1.5 feet. The Barrett .50 BMG had controlled recoil due to its muzzle brake, and a full-auto AK-47 demonstrated significant backward force.

Frequently Asked Questions

What firearms were tested for recoil while on roller skates?

The experiment included a Sig Sauer MPX (9mm), H&K UMP (10mm), Henry Lever Action (.45-70 Government), Kalashnikov USA Komrad (12 Gauge), a full-auto AK-47 (7.62x39mm), and a Barrett M82A1 (.50 BMG).

How did the Barrett .50 BMG recoil compare to other firearms?

Despite its large caliber, the Barrett M82A1's recoil was sharp but controlled, thanks to its highly efficient muzzle brake, resulting in less displacement than expected compared to some smaller firearms.

What was the purpose of shooting firearms on roller skates?

The goal was to measure recoil displacement in a controlled, low-friction environment. By using roller skates on a smooth surface, the experiment aimed to isolate and quantify the backward force exerted by different firearms.

Which firearm produced the most significant recoil displacement?

The Kalashnikov USA Komrad 12 gauge shotgun demonstrated substantial recoil, moving the shooter back approximately 1.5 feet. The full-auto AK-47 also showed significant backward momentum during sustained fire.
