[QUOTE="Rod Snell, post: 804262, member: 796"] A (Very) Short Course in Internal Ballistics [url]http://www.frfrogspad.com/intballi.htm[/url] A rigorous treatment of internal ballistics requires a knowledge of integral calculus. The integral of the pressure curve (the area under the curve) is the total WORK done on the bullet, and recoil is directly proportional to the WORK, not to the peak pressure. Matter of fact, the peak pressure does not directly determine much of anything except the max strain on the barrel. For those that don't do calculus, Nikatkimber's explanation is close enough.
