#1 "recoilless" is a euphemism. Anyone who's ever operated a firearm knows there's no such thing as an actual "recoilless".

#2 Physics 101, except if you have not had physics, you would not know about action and reaction.

#9 Used to shoot one of those things. Like being punched, hard, in the nose all over your body.
Newton being an infidel, the equal and opposite reaction thingy is probably forbidden in certain countries.

#11 I had a friend who was an army mechanic. He described what it was like to fire a 105mm recoilless rifle, and that video is what he described. He said the shock wave from the backblast was just incredible.

A recoilless rifle is s'posed to be a low trajectory weapon, an antitank weapon, not to be used in street fighting elevated but to be used once, maybe twice, if you're lucky against enemy armor
