There are ways around Newton's third law in guns. The person firing the gun doesn't necessarily have to absorb all the force of the gun firing. You can't lessen the force but you can redirect it or aborb some of it in the gun before it gets to the person firing it. That's a necessity with high caliber guns. A 50 cal would be impossible to fire otherwise. -----Original Message----- From: Scott Stroz [mailto:boyz...@gmail.com] Sent: Sunday, July 11, 2010 9:19 AM To: cf-community Subject: Re: Daily Kos: Why liberals should love the Second Amendment Had to look it up, could not think of the reference at the time that proves this is physically imposible, its Newton's Third Law of Motion On Sun, Jul 11, 2010 at 10:11 AM, Scott Stroz <boyz...@gmail.com> wrote: > OK, earlier you said it it would 'knock him back a few feet'...that is > physically impossible, without the shooter also getting knocked back a > few feet.
