Calculating the recoil in a shot fired is straight forward, and the wt. of the powder is added to the projectile wt.
subtracting the powder wt. gives the value the powder adds to this and the theoretical upper limit that can be used in any given caliber/bullet/powder combination
higher ratios of powder to projectile give the impression that this combination makes the compensator work more "efficient". This concept doesn't even include the gun weight, how can it be an across board comparison?
ex. 45 acp powder contribution 5/230 or .02% gun wt around 2lb
50 cal 250/800 around 30% gun wt. around 30 lbs
