Recoil (in fully automatic rifles) is caused from the bolt retracting picking up another round and firing again rapidly, yes the gas exiting the gun would cause a bit of kick but not much.

A railgun that uses magnetic could has no bolt (probably some inconsevable loading system we could never build) and if there is no gas exiting the the and no bolt flying back to pick up new rounds how the hell does the gun have recoil, especially if it's open rails there is literally no way it can have recoil

LOL = this thread.

Poor kid. Learning something new can be embarrassing sometimes.

But now you know, and knowing is half the battle.

*Que G.I. Joe theme song*

Go back 2 school kiddo. :|

As an Electrical Engineer, I disagree with your premise that you can magically accelerate something with no consequences. Not only will you have recoil from the projectile being pushed forward as the basic laws dictate, but you'll also also have to deal with the consequences of internal pressure on the rails themselves pushing at one another.

There are three rails, two parallel and the required third rail nestled between the two in an orthogonal configuration, all of which will exhibit recoil.

Stop reading/watching bad science fiction

the weapon utilizes a magnetic field to fire a charge at extremely high velocity at a target. it first processes the charge and turns it into a ball of plasma, held together by a strong electromagnetic containment field. This ball is then accelerated out of the weapon by the same method as a railgun, but the containment field quickly dissipates once the ball leaves the barrel of the gun. the containment field dissipates before the high speed projectile has a chance to cool down.

eve lore, deal with it.

I believe engineers play DUST to SHOOT ignorant people, not to educate them.

This is easiest way to reduce not educated ppl close to 0.

really? lol study up then. the rail guns use the same thing as the bullet trains. the "bullet" more like a bullet shaped piece of metal, is pulled forward "not pushed" by the electro magnets at very high speed with very little effect on the gun. no gun powder to create recoil. so no internal pressure.

Before this goes on any further, please provide a reasonable document explaining how a railgun would not have recoil nor exert substantial internal forces on itself creating mechanical and material stresses/pressure/repulsion/call-it-what-you-want, or citations on how to launch anything without recoil.

Thank you for your time.

Hey look, an easy to read document:
http://science.howstuffworks.com/rail-gun.htm

"Repulsion: The current in each rail of a rail gun runs in opposite directions. This creates a repulsive force, proportional to the current, that attempts to push the rails apart. Because the currents in a rail gun are so large, the repulsion between the two rails is significant."

"It would be more difficult to engineer small arm rail guns, mainly because of recoil. Recoil, the backward action of a firearm upon discharge, is determined by the momentum of the escaping projectile. Multiplying a projectile's mass by its velocity yields its momentum, which for high-velocity rail gun projectiles would be considerable. A portable rail gun that fires very small bullets may be the solution. A small bullet would limit recoil but still carry enough kinetic energy to inflict serious damage."

Cannons have recoil, Catapults have recoil, lasers have recoil (Though admittedly rediculously small, every laser is pushing itself backwards, exerting a pressure on the target, and trying to spin every lens it goes through), bows have recoil and are a great example you can try out yourself that have no gunpower as you will feel the bow pushing against your arm back towards your body as you release the draw.

There is no such thing as a free lunch in physics. You can push, or pull, and it will have consequences.

So lemme ask ya something. If recoil is caused from the bolt retracting to pick up another round and firing again rapidly....

Muzzle loaders have no recoil?

What about bolt action rifles?

Ohhh, lever actions?

How's about shotguns?

Revolvers!

I can't tell if this is a masterful troll thread or not.

Now I need to find something like a bolt action elephant rifle that weighs 2 lbs for the OP to shoot, for ***** and giggles, and ya'know, no recoil.
