Assuming we're talking about a 30 kg kid, force required to lift one directly to air is little less than 300 Newtons. Assuming a bullet weights 10 grams and leaves the gun at 600 m/s accelerating to full speed in 10 ms, the force of recoil is 600 N. So yes, a bullet could theoretically throw a kid in the air...exerting 20m/s² acceleration over .01 seconds. Looking at those numbers, you can probably tell that the kid won't be thrown in the air far enough for his feet to completely leave the ground. And that's with all the recoil exerting force directly upwards, no friction, etc. Falling backwards is a much more complex case and requires much less force as anyone with any martial arts training can tell.What you saw fall backwards was a grown up man, an average kid is not that heavy, for obvious reasons i can't prove it with a video...
what if the kid aimed the recoiless rifle straight down?Assuming we're talking about a 30 kg kid, force required to lift one directly to air is little less than 300 Newtons.

He'd land flat on his ass with a live rocket in the ground in front of him. It takes some time for the thing to arm itself after the fuse is struck as I recall.what if the kid aimed the recoiless rifle straight down?
If it is a modern one, there will probably some sort of failsafe that will trigger in low distance impacts that stops it from detonating, but I'm sketchy on whether or not that could be implimented on a recoilless rifle round. I wonder how many people are going to see my post show up here and think I'm arguing...He'd land flat on his ass with a live rocket in the ground in front of him.

well if i were designing it it would be in the gun, laser range finder that would need to be overided for firing at extreem short distance. although whther or not thats cost effective who knows. but given the price of most military equipment it would be comparativly cheap.If it is a modern one, there will probably some sort of failsafe that will trigger in low distance impacts that stops it from detonating, but I'm sketchy on whether or not that could be implimented on a recoilless rifle round.

Sticky Jumping!Are we talkin bout rocket jumping?
Recoiless rifle round isn't that different than a rocket for a rocket launcher. Hell, there even have the arming system on 40mm grenades for the M203. So yeah, they could do it.If it is a modern one, there will probably some sort of failsafe that will trigger in low distance impacts that stops it from detonating, but I'm sketchy on whether or not that could be implimented on a recoilless rifle round.

There isn't any real laser range finders in the round, meaning that it could still fire, it just wouldn't explode. But still, getting hit with a rocket that doesn't explode doesn't exactly equal a good day for you.well if i were designing it it would be in the gun, laser range finder that would need to be overided for firing at extreem short distance. although whther or not thats cost effective who knows. but given the price of most military equipment it would be comparativly cheap.
I think they was.Are we talkin bout rocket jumping?
This made me think of that sailor moon RoR game...Are we talkin bout rocket jumping?
Pshhh... No one likes technicalities...Technically, if one is to follow the genesis, we aren't exactly god's children, we are more like mud puppets allsparked to life, kinda like Jack Frost or Chucky.
Also following theology the trinity, father son and holy ghost, are often considered as the same being in different forms.
I've only actually ever liked a handful of books from him. The Shining, and his works as Richard Bachman. I always found it a bit ironic that I've really enjoyed Richard Bachman titles but not Stephen King...Cuz stephen king blows.
