@the21cat see how he changed teh topic?

it's b/c he knows he lost

I’m not changing the topic.

then you can answer the question : what is the gun pushing off of to recoil

Yeah because hes being dumb for whatever reason. He was winning

I’m sorry if you’re so desperate to try and provide a point you can’t even explain.

why can't you answer an easy question

You didn’t even establish the point.

A bullet has air in the casing.

Rendering your entire point, null.

so woudl it still recoil in a vacuum?

Not according to what we know. Cody’s science lab did an experiment where he tried to burn gun powder by itself in a vacuum, and it didn’t work. Later, he did an experiment where he supposedly made it work by using a casing. However, he didn’t prove if that casing was airtight, or not.

yes, youtube is the entirety of human knowledge

Well, if we make our own vacuum chamber, we could establish these kinds of things ourselves.

And I for one, unfortunately, do not currently possess the means.

lets do a simpler example

Perhaps in a few years or so.

imagine you're on an ice rink on a little sled, no friction

For me.

and you push off the wall of the rink, do you go backwards

Yes.

what if you push off the zamboni

I don’t see a problem with that.

what if you push off a refridgerator, that is also on a sled like you

Sounds like you would knock the fridge over, or you wouldn’t go anywhere.

how about a large rock then

The latter.

you wouldn't go anywhere?

Right.

ok we found the root cause of yoru flat earthism

Push yourself off the sled, maybe.

you don't understand basic physics of things aound you

not evfen physics, just behavior of the world around you

Dude, I play hockey. What you’re saying is ridiculous.

LOL

try it then

Yes it would recoil assuming it had the air to start the combustion. But thats a chemisty matter there not physics

push off your friend

does one of you move and the other stay in place?

Pushing off a boulder on the same sled as you, and not moving isn’t understanding basic physics?

Wow.
