Question
Why is it advised to hold the gun tightly with shoulder when it is being fired?
Solution
The velocity of kick is inversely proportional to the mass of the gun.
When the gun is held tightly to the shoulder, the effective mass of gun increases and hence recoil velocity of the gun decreases. thus, injury of the shoulder is avoided.
