TurboHog Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 So today at lunch I decided to pose this question to some of my coworkers. No recoil. This is from an OH-58D pilot and a DAP pilot and a DAP crew chief. So I can imagine the effect on a Huey is even smaller... BST also thought about it. The updated 1.2.7 changelog sais: Reduced recoil when firing unguided rockets[/Quote] 'Frett'

THINK A lot of expanding gases are produced in compartment with one exit - those gases are released by that exit - it's a lot of mass going one direction - this is the action. The reaction is the projectile in which this action is taking place, being moved by equal force the opposite way. Where's the helicopter, or even the launcher in this ? It's a ROCKET, the RECOIL is what's acting on the PROJECTILE, not launcher or helicopter. Are we really going to continue through 4th page of discussion about a failure in basic physics ? Has anyone ever tried to blow a lot of air through a drinking straw without moving it or holding it? Of course there is friction
