Blowback Versus Recoil Operated Pistols
This video delves into the mechanical differences between blowback and short recoil operated semi-automatic pistols. The presenter aims to explain why certain pistols exhibit barrel tilt and how different operating systems can lead to varied perceived recoil, even between different calibers and pistol sizes. The explanation is intended to be accessible without overly technical jargon, addressing common user questions about firearm mechanics.
