Why does a gun barrel rise?

Anonymous

∙ 10y ago

Updated: 9/20/2023

The barrel is usually above the centerline of the gun. When fired, recoil pushes straight back from the line of the barrel, but that is offset above the centerline, and causes the gun to pivot.

Does a shotgun sabot slug rise after it leaves the barrel of the gun?

No, a sabot slug does not rise after it leaves the barrel of a gun. No bullet rises after it leaves the barrel of a gun. It always falls from the line of sight of thebarrel. All firearms have to be "sighted in" a bit high to hit a target downrange. At close range, there is little time for a bullet to drop and hit "low" on the target. Down range, however, the drop is more significant. The more time a bullet is in flight, the more it drops below the line of sight of the barrel. But a bullet always begins to drop below the line of sight of the barrel after it leaves the muzzle. Always.
