The mass of the gun and bullet lbs or Kg, the recoil force in lbs or Newtons, recoil velocity in feet/sec or m/sec, the recoil energy in ft/lbs or Joules all figure in to the recoil equation which is a direct result of the mass and velocity of the bullet leaving the muzzle, which results in muzzle energy from which the recoil (in ft/lbs force) is figured through the recoil equation. In not so many words, it's all tied together.
