Newtonian Physics is not a difficult concept to get when it comes to recoil. I know. But what I’m wondering about is when it comes to the actual transfer of energy by the slug vs buckshot (or even rifle round vs buckshot).
Does buckshot deliver actual more felt recoil to a target because of the spread? I know. We can’t have a living being go “ok that pushed me backwards more,” but it is still something that could be tested. Theoretically? No. The slug does because the buckshot would spread out. But then with the area of impact and penetration? You would get a larger area of impact and that would...if penetration is able to be reduced...transfer more energy into the target rather than through it. If that makes sense?
So basically? When it comes to energy transfer? Does buckshot actually deliver MORE or LESS to the target than a slug? Why?
