Thanks for the feedback! I've heard this suggestion a few times, and it is an interesting thought. I believe that the calculations I did which show that the bullet has left long before the rifle moves under recoil contradicts this.

That said, I'm more interested in the truth than who is right or wrong. I've open sourced all of my data and want others to try this experiment for themselves and share their results rather than rely on me as a source-of-truth!
