I'm actually amazed they couldn't make a prop gun that actually simulates a recoil. Think of all the toys that give motion responses.

I assume nobody ever tried to make one because people just used these, but it doesn't seem like it would be super hard. It could similarly have the flash and sound.

Responses:

Sure but there could be a mechanism inside the gun that at least gives some simulation. For instance in the body when you pull the trigger, - pmb Oct 22, 08:31 13
- Ok, but what are you using to create that force? - Reagen Oct 22, 08:36 11
  - Right. Everything stays internal. But you can still get something to move internally that would feel like recoil. It can be triggered - pmb Oct 22, 08:50 10
    - But you're not getting it. Without something leaving the gun, you don't get recoil. Equal and opposite. -- nm - Reagen Oct 22, 08:55 8
      - (any kind of device like you're describing you would have the same forward motion as backwards) - Reagen Oct 22, 08:58
      - You could have an internal piston to duplicate it. (Might not work for semi or full auto, of course) -- nm* - Spawn Oct 22, 08:58 6
        
        See above. Without ejected mass it doesn't work. -- nm - Reagen Oct 22, 08:59 5
        
        Yes, there would be some gradual forward pull that would have to be held in check by the holder but when the piston struck it would still create kick. -- nm - Spawn Oct 22, 09:18 4
        
        Equal. Opposite. - Reagen Oct 22, 09:22 3
        
        Would require a small amount of training but if you are bringing the gun in an upward motion when (think "draw") when firing it could be hidden. -- nm - Spawn Oct 22, 09:28 2
        
        Good luck with your perpetual motion machine. -- nm - Reagen Oct 22, 09:30 1

    - heh. Was about to post "A reverse internal hammer". -- nm - Spawn Oct 22, 08:51
- This goes under Reagan's post. -- nm - pmb Oct 22, 08:31
F=ma. -- nm - Reagen Oct 22, 08:24 3
- I was told there would be no math -- nm - oblique Oct 22, 08:27 2
  - But we didn't promise no physics, and we're taking advantage of the loophole. -- nm - Full Size Candy Baron Oct 22, 08:29 1
    - *marks for later* -- nm - Beaker Oct 22, 08:30
