You guys keep confusing recoil operated with blowback. THEY AREN'T THE SAME. Blowback guns do not fire from a locked breech period. And no the barrel on a 1911 doesn't unlock till the bullet is gone.
"Recoil-operated" is adding a superfluous category to an otherwise fairly simple concept.

Another example is a battleship firing a broadside. Even firing all guns at once, a WWII era battleship suffers no displacement laterally from it.
Sorry again, Oro. Not a valid argument.

5) The shooter has an incident of hyper-Oromineralization of the distal bone of the second phalanges. More tests are in order.

We understand that the slide and barrel only move a short distance when the bullet exits.
About 1/10th inch, as it were.
Haven't you ever wondered why the barrel tilts on a 1911? That's the locking mechanism.
The layout of the Remington 51 is similar to the Walther PPK pistol in the use of a stationary barrel and recoil spring surrounding the barrel. However, the unique feature is the use of a locking breech block within the slide. When the pistol is in battery, the breech block rests slightly forward of the locking shoulder in the frame. When the cartridge is fired, the bolt and slide move together a short distance rearward powered by the energy of the cartridge as in a standard blowback system. When the breech block contacts the locking shoulder, it stops, locking the breech.
The Schwarzlose is a "blow forward"
I thought that in a blowback (delayed or otherwise) operated gun, the main force that cycles the action is the gas pressure pushing back on the cartridge.
I don't see how a locked breech gun like the 1911 can work that way at all, considering that the barrel doesn't unlock from the slide until after the bullet has left the barrel and the pressure inside the barrel has vented out the muzzle.
so you're saying that the force of the pressure pushing back on the breech face is what pushes back the slide on a 1911, while the slide is locked to the breech?
it cannot move relative to the cylinder. What force is pushing the cylinder and piston that is locked to it backwards?
What force is pushing the cylinder and piston that is locked to it backwards? The recoil force is.
. In a straight blowback, the gas pressure inside the cylinder will accelerate both pistons. the low mass one will accelerate much faster, and the high mass one will accelerate more slowly.
