Why does a shorter barrel have more felt recoil? Shouldn't the bullet exiting the barrel sooner leave less gas pressure? It seems counterintuitive. Bullets should have velocity increase, to a point, with longer barrels, so it is accelerating for a longer time within the barrel.
Or is it the WEIGHT of the barrel that is the reason behind more felt recoil, from less mass and thus less inertia?
